Strumberry Pie
Strumberry Pie was formed in the summer of 2012 by Deedee Montanaro and Laura Catalina Johnson. Deedee and Laura got together to learn and play a few songs at an open mic that summer, but quickly found that ‘a few songs’ just would not do. Since its inception, Strumberry Pie has played original and cover songs as a duo, a trio and a full band in venues big and small throughout the Jersey Shore. Eclectic styles and beautiful harmonies are what you will find at a Strumberry Pie show, where the only requirement of any song we play is that it makes us all feel something true from the vast rainbow of human emotions. Rock, country, pop, latin, grunge, indie, punk, metal (yes, metal)... all genres are welcome so long as it’s good music.
