The Strumbellas

The Strumbellas

Canadian indie folk outfit The Strumbrellas blends alt-country rhythms, bluegrass fingerpicking, and catchy pop hooks to arrive at a soulful modern vibe that’s steeped in tradition yet decidedly modern. At their live shows the talented septet fires on all cylinders, soaring through anthems like “Sailing” and “Racer” with infectious energy while frontman Simon Ward sings about love, heartbreak, and absolution. In addition to guitar and banjo, the group expands on the traditional alt-country soundby adding mandolin, violin, and even clarinet, resulting in a rich sonic palette that suits finely crafted songs like “Indiana” and “When I Break Fre...

The Strumbellas were amazing, as was the opening act, Noah Kahan. I d never been to the 20th Century Theater, but loved it! We were right beside the stage and had an excellent view of the show. This was probably one of my favorite shows, and I ve been to a lot.

Strumbellas put on an amazing show and sounded fantastic. They even sang a song without music or microphones and the whole venue was silent. Then they had us jumping for joy and screaming through tears. I feel so lucky I was able to see them in such a small venue. They sounded great. I matter where I stood. I brought people who didn't know their music and they became fans after the first song. Love this band, and I love this venue.

I took 3 friends who are not as into the band as me...but they all had a great time anyway. The sing along quotient is fun!

The show was a good one. I saw Strumbellas at ACL in 2016 and loved them, so had to see them at The Paradise again. Of their 3 cd's HOPE is a clear cut over the first two. They played nearly every song with notable exceptions David and I Still See Her Cry. Show could have been longer capping out at around 75-80 mins, but it was a Monday I suppose. Sound system was good as usual at the Paradise and the audience enjoyed the show without taking away the experience of others. IDK why, maybe a folksy maturity?? Maybe the good part of seeing a show on Monday night? Would highly recommend this band to anyone who gets oppty to see them. and Pick up Hope if you don't have it.

Great night Out . Fun support band before the Strumbellas came on at 9 o'clock they played till 10 wrapping up with "guns in your head." They came back for an encore which everyone enjoyed .Upbeat and fun dancing along to my favorite band from "The River" .

The Strumbellas were awesome but they would have sounded much better if the music wasn't so loud and we could actually hear them sing. When they performed a song without the microphones and all the noise, they were amazing! I did not like the venue because of the sound system and the obnoxious, loud crowd.

I would highly recommend going to a Strumbellas concert! They put on an amazing show, lots of energy and fun! They include the audience as much as they can, which is a lot of fun. They are a must see band!

This was a great show to take in. The group had a ton of energy and involved the crowd frequently throughout the evening. The whole band is entertaining, but the female violinist was my favorite! She is fantastic! I would see them again if given the chance :)

The Strumbellas were absolutely amazing! I loved how you could feel the great energy from the band and crowd. The set list was thought out and made the show flow. The only complaint...female bartender was rude. Overall super fun experience!
