Michelle David & The True-tones | Nederland / USA
Michelle David & The True-tones know how to perform a live show infused with classical soul. With their upbeat grooves, powerful vocals, and strong melodies, they have already conquered festivals such as North Sea Jazz and Pinkpop.
Powerhouse vocals and groovy basslines characterise this collaboration between Michelle David (vocals), Paul Willemsen (guitar, bass guitar), Onno Smit (guitar, bass guitar) and Bas Bouma (drums). The band has released six gospel-infused albums.
Their previous record Truth & Soul was named Album of the Year at BBC Radio 6. The group were even invited to play their music on the biggest National TV show during the Winter Olympics in 2022. With their new album Brothers & Sisters, Michelle David & the True-tones have crafted a sonic journey which resonates with the soulful spirit of their live shows, inviting audiences to groove along with them on a timeless musical voyage.
“This band’s ability to seamlessly translate the raw, dynamic essence of their live shows into recorded tracks is a testament to their musical prowess and dedication to preserving the authenticity of their sound; rougher and more energetic than before, drawing inspiration from old gospel to the classics of the renowned Stax label.”
