Blues is Truth are a new and emerging British blues band. Hailing from the fertile 'Thames Delta' that spawned the likes of Eric Clapton, Peter Green and the Rolling Stones, they take the legacy of those who came before them and build on it to provide some of the best blues you are ever likely to hear. Whilst the band may be new, the trio that forms the core of this dynamic musical unit are anything but, bringing with them a huge amount of experience in well known bands both local and international, along with a love for true blues.Band/artist history
The band was formed after the drummer, Herman, brought together the guitarist, Ian, and bassist, Brian for a jam. From the first moments of this musical meeting it was evident that there was a rapport and understanding lacking in most bands. This, combined with the meeting of minds that was found in the pub after the jam meant a band was on the cards, that band is Blues is Truth.
Where this band is best is live, with a show that has been described as 'Immense' by one reviewer, and an ability to entertain and involve any audience, this is a band to be experienced, rather than listened to remotely via a recording, for, whilst the recordings produced will stand up to the best of modern British blues, they are nothing when you compare them to a live show. There is a level of engagement between band an audience unlike most other exponents of the art, when you see them you will understand, audiences do not sit and listen, they dance, they sing themselves hoarse and smile from start to finish. In an interesting twist, the core trio are often joined on stage by guest artists, talents as great as the band themselves, who bring a freshness to performances, along with a certain unpredictability that makes for a great show.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. Blues is a music that really comes accross at it's best in a live situation, it's great for us to see the faces of our audience and connect properly with them. It's because of this that we chose to record our debut album live, in front of an audience, and we think it's why it's such a successful recording.

Oh yeah, baby....got y'all playing all in one go. You deserve Number One. I'll give you a fresh "All In One Go" for the next few days. If just 1% of your millions of fans do that, you should get there. Good Luck, My Brothers :)
