Bio
Some people say there is no truth in advertising. They’re wrong. The truth is Truth in Advertising has been hanging around the Pittsburgh area since 1999. What started out as a group of friends hanging out and making each other laugh has evolved into a beloved acoustic act with two full-length albums, years of performing experience and a love song written for a cat. T ‘n A (as fans affectionately call the band) currently comprises Billy and Fred. Billy plays guitar; Fred plays harmonica and accordion; both sing; and neither really dances well. Both are avid, experienced performers: Billy’s solo projects have received radio airplay on stations including WYEP 91.3 FM, and Fred has written, directed and performed in plays around Pittsburgh. T ‘n A has played a plethora of Pittsburgh-area bars and venues: Shadow Lounge, Club Cafe, Brillobox, Geno’s, Howler's, Modern Formations, Point Park University, University of Pittsburgh and others. T ‘n A shows feature mostly original music, and their songs have infectious melodies and smart, quirky lyrics. Songs covered in the past include “Only Gay Eskimo,” “Eternal Flame,” “Bust A Move” and “A Mighty Wind.” Be sure to check out Billy's solo recordings on his ..page... ..You can buy the album ..Inconsequential Background Music.. from ..iTunes... It's only $10. And interesting. Hell, we're so sure you'll like the album, we're.. giving it away.. for free. We trust you. We know you'll buy the album when you have the dough...Follow us on ..Twitter.....
