Few artists are capable of truly stepping outside the bounds of genre while still encapsulating the timeless sounds of the greats who have preceded. However, Georgia born artist, Truett, successfully combines stunning vocals and unbelievable guitar licks in order to do so and create an incredibly unique and addicting sound.
Described as a guitar prodigy, Truett got his start at a very young age after Ron Pope, fellow Georgian singer/songwriter, took the young man on the road with his band, The District. This moment would represent the beginning of a perfect fusion between two unique and innovative artists, which culminated in Pope signing Truett to his record label, Brooklyn Basement Records. In the video below Truett explains his roots while showing his guitar virtuoso, playing his song "Be Mine."
In the video, Truett mentions that he has been playing guitar since he was 11 years old and was heavily influenced initially by artists like the Allman Brothers, Blackfoot, and the incredible Stevie Ray Vaughn among many others. His song "Be Mine," which can be heard on Spotify, features striking guitar riffs, astonishing vocals and top-notch lyrics, creating a unique and unforgettable sound. Check it out in the video below:
As someone who has seen Truett live in action, I can truly attest to the caliber of his talent and how genuinely passionate he is about his music. There is no doubt this young phenom has a great career ahead of him and some incredible music to make.
