MJT the Band with Strawberry Sun

MJT the Band with Strawberry Sun Live at Groove | Saturday, May 16th | 7PM Show, 6PM Doors

MJT is a musical force of nature and long-time fixture of Long Island’s live music scene. The Godfrey Brothers’ musical trifecta is built on Matt’s ambidextrous virtuosity, playing simultaneous keyboards and synth bass, Jordan’s bombastic, edge-of-your-seat drumming and David’s atmospheric chord melody guitar parts and soulful vocals. The Godfrey Brothers’ magic has captivated audiences opening for Slash and Miles Kennedy, Alter Bridge, and Sevendust while also backing diverse, national touring acts like Yellowman, Stone Bwoy, and Tash Neal.

Strawberry Sun originated in 2022 as a busking act performing at Strawberry Fields in NYC’s Central Park, composed of guitarists Casey Rabito and Joe Asprea, drummer Garret Luongo, bassist Bo Zhang and saxophonist Isaac "Algonzo" Ketter. They soon became regulars across the NYC club circuit and honed their sound as a high energy instrumental fusion group with elements of jazz, funk, and psych rock. Their live shows became an exploration of their original work, with performances featuring an improvisational and jam band-style approach.

In early 2023, the band recorded their debut EP, Strawberry Sessions Vol. 1, released later that year. The EP serves as a benchmark for the band’s early songwriting, with stripped down arrangements delivering the essence of their sound, leaving much to be interpreted on stage. By late 2023, the band welcomed new drummer Shariq Tucker, and began recording their upcoming studio release.
