Truth Be Told is Ben Williams, Eric Kent, Randy Ramaekers and Dave Sufka. We have been fortunate to play venues all over Iowa including El Bait Shop and Vaudeville Mews, the Iowa State Fair and People's Court (Des Moines), Hidden Acres Music Farm (Laurens), Byron's (Pomeroy) and the Briarpatch (Bevington). We have all played in several local bands leading up to Truth Be Told including El Bano, Interstellar Bus Stop and the Kent Brothers (Eric), Sage and Lady Blue (Randy and Ben). We love the jam scene and love playing with other local jam bands like Mooseknuckle and MidWestern Remedy. Creating a culture of music and friends is what it is all about! Collaboration is what keeps things fresh and exciting!

I really enjoyed your show at the Mews the other night. You guys were really fun to watch. Your bass player is awesome and your drummer's energy is amazing. Jeremy, guitars
Very cool page dudes. We look forward to meeting you at Mews. A set of Dead covers would be perfect for the old stoners/drunkards (my friends) that I have coming to the show. We have never played in Des Moines before, but I grew up there, so a bunch of old friends should be coming out to see the show. See you in a couple weeks. Keep in touch. - Jeremy
