Monte Maybe: Channeling her Jersey Devil [Episode 210]

Our conversation with Monte Maybe flowed like one of her songs — intimate, energetic, and full of heart. Monte’s storytelling blends pop, folk, and country influences, grounded in her New Jersey roots, and you can hear it all over her 2025 debut album Jersey Devil — a record that stakes her claim in the NJ soundscape.

We dove deep into how she crafts songs from real-life experiences, how the New Jersey music scene shaped her voice, and how her live performances bring an intensity and connection that go beyond just singing on stage. Between reflections on Jersey Devil, the craft of songwriting, and the raw energy she brings at shows and her acoustic in our studio, this episode gives listeners a full portrait of Monte ... songwriter, performer, and rising star!
