Truett & The Traitors

What is it about needing to come home to find what you're looking for? The old adage couldn't have been truer for Springfield, MO singer-songwriter Seth Truett. After graduating from college and splitting with his band, the young troubadour moved to Austin, Texas, home of all things music. But starting over proved harder than he expected. "I had a bunch of songs ready but I couldn't find a band that I clicked with," says Seth. So he returned to southwest Missouri to record his solo debut, The Wind Is Gone, with the legendary Lou Whitney.
The Wind Is Gone is 11 solid, timeless songs unhindered by fads. Imagine an American Noel Gallagher with less sneer and more heart, and you've just scratched the surface of Seth Truett. There is no "I" in "Rock & Roll," however, so Seth joined forces with bassist Chris Greig, and guitarist Adam Cochrun to complete the four-pieced rock puzzle dubbed Truett & the Traitors.
Truett & The Traitors have an incredibly accessible brand of rock and roll, with three-part vocal harmonies and grooves that make you want to get up and dance, have been touring from town to town and consistently impressing fans of all genres with their high-energy live sets. Their rocking has garnered media attention on the local and national stages, such as from Doug Brod, editor of Spin Magazine: "Nice stuff.very well-crafted and -played songs. Some of the vocals on these songs have a Liam Gallagher feel-- a good thing."
In August of this year, the band finished, with mixing help from the talented Jeff Smith, their first collaborative self-titled EP "Truett & The Traitors". The four new songs are their best yet, ranging from poptastic "One Way to the Future" to roots Americana "Rest", which features a mouth harp throughout the entire chorus. "We've been perfecting these songs for a year, which is why they are so strong. You can really get a sense for how much we enjoy playing them," says Truett.
They've put the work in, they've got the songs. Give them a listen, they won't do you wrong.
