Moving effortlessly from jazz-steeped ballads to hip-hop-tinted soul, with a mix of well-crafted originals and vamped-up, reworked standards and covers, the TrueTones are the sweet-spot where tradition meets with originality and retro nostalgia gets down and dirty with musical innovation.

This is a band that knows its chops, pays its dues and brings it all together with consummate skill and an infectious excitement about the music they love. Their flawless playing and powerful vocals have impressed at a number of prestigious gigs including the Bath International Festival, Marlborough Jazz Festival (where they were nominated for best newcomer), the semi-finals of the nationwide New Brunswick Battle of the Blues and a session for Jazz FM's Discovery Show live from Boisdale.
