Truism, The Band:
A Journey of Testimony Through Christian Blues/Rock Music
Music for the Searching and the Soulful
Truism is a Christian blues rock band born from a deep longing to connect with those who find themselves at a crossroads in life—a moment when the old ways no longer suffice, and the heart seeks something new. Founded by the visionary partnership of Jodie and Thomas Austin, Truism stands as both a musical project and a mission.
Our Roots
Truism’s journey began with Jodie and Thomas Austin, two musicians united by faith and a profound desire to offer hope through the power of song. The band’s earliest days were shaped by countless hours writing original tunes that reflect real-life struggles, triumphs, and the search for redemption—a musical testimony woven into every chord and lyric. Their influences draw deeply from the traditions of blues and rock, blending the raw emotion and authenticity of those genres with a message rooted in faith.
Originality and Inspiration
At the heart of Truism’s music lies a commitment to authenticity. The band crafts original compositions that resonate with the honest experiences of searching souls. Each song is a personal testimony—sometimes gentle and introspective, sometimes bold and electrifying, but always true to the journey of faith. Alongside their own creations, Truism breathes new life into popular songs, offering rearranged versions that infuse familiar melodies with spiritual meaning and bluesy soulfulness.
A Message for the Seeking
Truism’s music is more than entertainment—it is an invitation. Through every riff and refrain, the band reaches out to those who are seeking, those standing on the threshold of change. Their “testimony music” tells stories of pain and peace, longing and love, brokenness and healing. It is designed for those who know the ache of wanting something more, those who sense a stirring in their spirit and are ready to step into the unknown.
A Mission Beyond the Music
For Truism, the ultimate goal is transformation—not just in sound, but in spirit. Their concerts and recordings are meant to be safe spaces for honesty, healing, and hope. By sharing their personal journeys through music, Jodie, Thomas, and the band strive to let listeners know they are not alone: that change is possible, faith is real, and a new song can always be written for a weary soul.
Join the Journey
Whether you are a longtime believer, a curious seeker, or someone simply drawn to the rich textures of blues rock, Truism invites you into a community where music becomes testimony and testimony becomes transformation. Their songs echo with the message that change is not only possible—it is waiting for those who have ears to hear!
