More than a few

There must be something in the local water turning out ace country rock bands; The Truthful Few are just the latest band in that vein to come to my attention. The trio got together about a year ago "to try something new in the country arena" (says their Myspace bio).

Dan DesLauriers has a good voice and some serious fretboard-burning licks.





Sean MacLennan on bass and backing vocals.



Steve Clifford on drums and yet more backing vocals.



Truthful action!









There's also some tasteful dobro work on their posted tracks.

Guitars, guitars, guitars

... and that was just the first half of last night. There was a lot six-string action going on on my Saturday sojourns. First I went off to Zaphod's to see The BushPilots (who I've seen a few times before) and Evil Farm Children (who I saw at The Rainbow. Opening trio The Truthful Few was new to me, and there was some mighty speedy pickin' going on there as well.

The Truthful Few - all three of them.



Dave Kerr of Evil Farm Children and his sparkly silver Gretsch.



A couple of BushPilots and an acoustic guitar.



Then I sneaked off to Cafe DeKcuf. Things must have run a little lat, because The Bella Bombs were still on stage. And another sparkly silver guitar!



And here's a pointy one, courtesy of the G-Men.



A couple more, a la Setbacks.



Well I'm all guitared out. My plan now is to get to sleep before 3 a.m. on Sunday - it'll be a change for me ...
