Phil Clark & the Truth

Natalie’s is excited to present a brand-new group, The Truth, fronted by premiere area vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Phil Clark. The “son of a preacher man”, Phil realized early on that music was, simply put, his calling. A veteran horn section player and vocalist for the venerable HooDoo Soul Band, Phil now joins with drummer Louis Tsamous and bassist Phi Maneri as “The Truth”, creating shows across different genres and featuring other top area players. This time, the group brings some of “Phil’s faves” across the rock and soul spectrum, to Natalie’s Grandview.

Louis Tsamous began playing the drums at age 10 and has become one of the most versatile and active musicians in America. He has toured Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean recording and performing with jazz artists Stanley Turrentine, Etta Jones, Jimmy McGriff, Dr. Lonnie Smith, David “Fathead” Newman, Joey DeFrancesco, and Kevin Mahogany, among others. He has been touring and recording with jazz organ sensation Tony Monaco since 1999, and has recently toured the US and Europe with jazz guitar legend Pat Martino.

Phil Maneri is skilled at Electric Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Trumpet. A first call live and session musician, Phil is currently playing equally on Double Bass and Electric Bass in a myriad of projects and gigs. Over the years Phil has played in more bands and played more gigs than he can recall. Chances are if you’ve seen live music in Central Ohio in the last 30 years you’ve seen him play.
