Formed in 2015 by New Orleans bassist Sam Price (Honey Island Swamp Band, OTRA) as an outlet for his original song-writing, the band has quickly gained popularity in New Orleans and beyond. Their debut EP was voted ‘Best Roots Rock Album of 2017’ by Offbeat Magazine. They were awarded a grant by the Threadhead Cultural Foundation the following year to record the 2019 album Dragonfly, produced by Papa Mali.
Call it Soul Rock, Funk and Roll, or Blue-Eyed Soul, the True Believers deliver songs that are alternately upbeat and rocking, slinky and funky, or mellow and poignant, with lyrics that are honest, thoughtful, and “so from the heart, it hurts!”
