News: Name change to Michelle David & The True-tones

Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions announces name change to Michelle David & The True-tones

From today on ‘Michelle David & The True-tones’ will be the new name of Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions

What started as a project to discover the birthplace of Soul and R&B resulted in four Gospel flavored albums. It also garnished an Edison nomination (The Dutch Grammy). As time passed they emerged from being a project that explored the Gospel genre to being a legitimate band with their own style. Which has led them to cast this in stone with a new name, “Michelle David & The True-tones”. For the personal statement video from the band see below!

Upon looking for the roots of their beloved musical genres (Rhythm & Blues, R&R Soul) founding members Onno Smit and Paul Willemsen discovered the Gospel music performed by the likes of The Soul Stirrers, The Zion Travelers, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Shirley Ann Lee. Captivated by the pure energy of these songs, they decided to make their own version together with Michelle David (USA).

New single
On April 30, the band will release their first single under the new name: ‘Yes I Know’.
