Band Introduction

     Abstract Truth is where jazz meets soul, funk, and global rhythm—an electrifying blend driven by bold improvisation and undeniable groove. Anchored by bassist and founder Gary Francis, the band’s powerhouse lineup—Clinton Jackson (Drums), Chico “Bo” Guadalupe (Percussion & Trumpet), Rob Speakes (Keys), Kim Payton (Vocals), and Tim Spencer (Guitar & Vocals)—creates a sound that’s smooth, dynamic, and fiercely original. Their live shows are a journey: lush harmonies, deep-pocket rhythms, and explosive moments that light up the room. Abstract Truth doesn’t just play music—they create an experience that stays with the audience long after the last note.
