The Truffle Valley Boys [Blue Grass]

About this event

“The Truffle Valley Boys…don’t just rote-replicate these mostly forgotten gems; they inhabit them and imbue them with contemporary energy” –  Bob Allen, Bluegrass Unlimited

The Truffle Valley Boys are a band with a mission: to bring back the raw, powerful and authentic sound of the early years of Bluegrass music – no compromises. They perform around a single microphone and using period instrumentation, with the utmost attention to musical and aesthetic details, a fiery drive and a healthy dose of good-natured entertainment!

The group draws its repertoire and sound from some of the more obscure Bluegrass groups of the 1950s – defining years for this musical genre, which developed as a branch of Country music, strongly influenced by Gospel, Swing and Blues, and played an important role in the birth of Rock-A-Billy.

Since 2019, the band is featured in a permanent exhibit on international Bluegrass at the Bluegrass Music Hall Of Fame And Museum in Owensboro, KY!

The Truffle Valley Boys’ show is a real throwback to era gone by, and their music is a tribute to the genuine, raw and powerful sounds of the more obscure regional Bluegrass acts of the 1950s…full steam ahead, indeed!
