Funk
For nearly 20 years, DeRobert Adams has been showing audiences across the nation what it means to have raw soul. Raised up singing in the church, belting out dizzying arias punctuated by soul dripping melodies has always come second nature to the Memphis born native.
With his backing band, the Half-Truths, DeRobert has spent the last decade putting Music City soul back on the map, one scorching live set after another as the flag ship combo for Nashville’s G.E.D. Soul Records. Having released a pair of LPs, several EPs and 45s, DeRobert and the Half-Truths have only sharpened their brand of super syncopated soul music. Bear witness to the dynamic raw soul power of DeRobert and his mighty Half-Truths.
