This four-piece band has been working together for more than eighteen years "on the road". It's a unique, one of a kind, eclectic roots/country band. Each of the members has a varied and different musical background, which is evident in their sound and their original music. They are very dedicated in everything that they do, from professional sidemen, to powerful performances of their own material.
The brothers Dave and Paul Martineau are multi – instrumentalists, who have toured together with many of the great names of the Canadian music scene all over North America, Europe, Australia and South East Asia. Singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Martineau, plays guitar, pedal steel guitar, dobro, lap steel and a host of other unique stringed instruments. His musical efforts resulted in the nomination for Pedal Steel Player of the Year for 2001 and 2002 in the Canadian Country Music Association Awards. Singer- songwriter Paul Martineau is a seasoned master of drums and percussion and the driving wheel behind the rhythm section of the band. Gary Bowman is a veteran of the music scene in Alberta and joined the Trucks a few years ago adding keyboards, accordion, smoky vocals and top notch songwriting skills to the ensemble. Fred LaRose is the front man and spokesman for the Trucks. A spectacular showman on the double bass and electric bass Fred has been the other half of a great rhythm section for the Trucks since its inception.
