Truffle

Truffle is 1) What can you say about a band that's been together since 1986? Plenty! While many bands come and go within a few years, (Savoy) Truffle is in it for the long haul. They are players and entertainers; it's what they do! Truffle is David Bailey (bass, vocals), Ned Chase (mandolin, guitar, lap steel & vocals), Mike Gendron (drums), Pete Kowalski (percussion) and Dave Gerard (vocals, electric & resonator

guitars). Both Dave's and Ned have been creating music together since 1986. They have performed
in all but ten states across the U.S., playing as many as 275 shows in one year. Mike (still the
rookie) joined the band with years of experience in 1996; the only lineup change in the band's history.
Truffle has achieved widespread popularity by headlining many respected venues as well as
sharing the stage with international acts as Little Feat, Phish, The Band, Dave Matthew's Band,
David Lindley, The Radiators, and Blues Traveler to name only a few.
Truffle has released five albums and assorted compilations (including ?Nervous Laughter?
on the November/Sony label) as well as contributing to Gerard's four solo records; the latest being
?The Zoomy Trail?, WSCA's best local / regional CD of 2009. Their music has also appeared on
multiple major motion picture soundtracks. Their latest, ?That's Right? is a collection of songs
penned and arranged by all the members ; with quality song writing, memorable melodies and tasty
production, it is by far their most mature record to date.
Their sound, a mix of swampy soul, R&B, Bluegrass, New Orleans grooves, and World music,
has been stewing in a pot for years, and is ever changing. Their live show, never dictated by a set
list, is eclectic and different every night. You need to experience it for yourself ~ Enjoy!
?Truffle is musically tight, their lyrics are inspired and they do not rely on gimmicks for appeal. Instead, Truffle offers songs with
the listener in mind ? songs that have been masterfully crafted and arranged.?
~ Showcase, Foster's Daily Democrat (Dover, NH)
?The new CD ?That's Right? is vintage Truffle all the way. It reflects a band that has not only established a strong identity, but
shows continued growth and maturity?
~ The Wire Magazine (Portsmouth, NH)
?Ned Chase remains a stupendous songwriter, and Dave Gerard is one of the best singers I've ever heard, period?
~ Face Magazine (Portland, ME)
?These guys have played with many of the hottest acts touring today, seeing most of the acts mare than five times, I can honestly
say that an evening with Truffle sounds as good as any of the rest?
~ Vermont Review (Statewide, VT)
