About Basic Truth

Basic Truth (True Old-School R&B, Soul and Funk) has been one of Cincinnati's most popular groups playing old-school dance music since 1998. Basic Truth has performed at live entertainment clubs all over the Greater Cincinnati area, even surviving longer as a group than some of the clubs in which the band has performed. Basic Truth performed for the NAACP 99th Annual Convention, at the President & CEO's Reception. Basic Truth has appeared on the "After Midnight" TV show on WOTH-TV (Channel 25, Cincinnati). Basic Truth holds the record for most live performances on Mojo 94.9 (WMOJ-FM - now off the air), on All The Way Live Friday on "Mojo in the Morning". Basic Truth has performed at some of Cincinnati's biggest annual events, such as the 5th, 6th & 7th Annual Bengals Bash Rallies (2007 - 2009), the Cincinnati Juneteenth Festival (2004 - 2009), Mojo's first three annual Summer Jam concerts (2003 - 2005), and the Midwest Regional Black Family Reunion Celebration (2003). Basic Truth has performed at various private functions and fundraising events, including the Greater Cincinnati Urban League's Gala in 2003 and 2006 - 2008, and the Catholic Women of Cincinnati's 2003 - 2005 WineFests. Basic Truth is a "Distinguished Member" of the Web site Cincy Music, and was a featured "Local Artist of the Week" on the Web site AroundTheNati,com. Since 1998, several of Cincinnati's best old-school R&B/funk musicians and vocalists have performed with Basic Truth. With its current line-up of C.C. (lead and background vocals), MarTinez Butts (guitar, background and lead vocals), Bill Dandridge (bass, background and lead vocals) and Wes Dandridge (drums), Basic Truth continues to play the old-school R&B, soul and funk jams that Cincinnati loves to dance to.
