THE TRUANTS are a dynamic five-man force of rock nature out of Manhattan.
We play British Invasion and American (garage/psychedelic/folk rock) covers, and, as it says on the t-shirts….

NOTHING AFTER 1967 !

Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, Zombies, Yardbirds, Raiders, Rascals, Mitch Ryder, Sonics, Monkees, Byrds….oh my!

THE TRUANTS play the songs you love and the songs you forgot you loved, and we play them the way you loved them. Hits, B sides and Deep Cuts!

Our set list is relentless, infectiously sing-alongworthy and thoroughly danceable.

THE TRUANTS perform regularly in New York City and have been featured at Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA (the largest free music festival in the country) for the last 9 years.

We have our own PA system and are available to play at: Private parties; weddings; class reunions; conventions; corporate events; industrials; bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs; sweet 16s or sweet 65s; confirmations… and let’s not forget a bris!

And we have our own comedy writer! Our leader, Bill Scheft, a former stand-up comedian and longtime David Letterman writer, can create and perform special material for ANY event. Just ask!
