Music of Auvergne, Bretagne, Alsace and other places

Music for dance, ceremony, or just listening. Our thing is that whenever we play, we make the room happy. Do you want a happy room?

About us

Le Bon Truc Trio joined together twelve years ago to play traditional French dance and folk music from Bretagne, Alsace, Auvergne, and other places. The band is Steve Gruverman, clarinets, sax, and flute; Barb Truex, dulcimer, banjo, and tenor guitar; and Gary Chapin, accordions. Over the decade, they’ve played on street corners, in cafes, at dance festivals, in barns, in an orchard, and in a surprising number of churches. Our goal is to bring a little bit of uncomplicated rhythmic and melodic happiness with us wherever we go.
