What is it about needing to come home to find what you're looking for? The old adage couldn't have been truer for Springfield, MO singer-songwriter Seth Truett. After graduating from college and splitting with his band, the young troubadour moved to Austin, Texas, home of all things music. But starting over proved harder than he expected. "I had a bunch of songs ready but I couldn't find a band that I clicked with," says Seth. So he returned to southwest Missouri to record his solo debut, The Wind Is Gone, with the legendary Lou Whitney.
The Wind Is Gone is 11 solid, timeless songs unhindered by fads. Imagine an American Noel Gallagher with less sneer and more heart, and you've just scratched the surface of Seth Truett. There is no "I" in "Rock & Roll," however, so Seth joined forces with bassist Chris Greig, guitarist Dave Price, and drummer Adam Cochrun to complete the four-pieced rock puzzle dubbed Truett & the Traitors.
Truett & the Traitors and their incredibly accessible brand of rock and roll, with three-part vocal harmonies and grooves that make you want to get up and dance, have been touring from town to town and consistently impressing fans of all genres with their high-energy live sets. Their rocking has garnered media attention on the local and national stages, such as from Doug Brod, editor of Spin Magazine: "Nice stuff...very well-crafted and -played songs. Some of the vocals on these songs have a Liam Gallagher feel-- a good thing."
The songs are too good and the live band too solid not to be shared. Truett & the Traitors are poised to grab the rock scene by its throat and not let up until they have what they want: just a piece of the pie, and "hopefully an appearance on Conan O'Brien. He's just fantastic."
