"meeting me just before 7:30"
Trouvére's escapist track Nothing To Say starts off like a sad black and white French pantomime only to explode in a cool art pop array of colors. Love the bass that peeks out behind the drum kit, the lush layers of synths, the sparkles of notes and jagged sideways rhythms of guitar jams and spring reverb-esque tones. All these proto punk / new wave colored tones frame Dwight McGlynn's (singer-songwriter of Trouvére) charming muscular croon. This song glides across the dance floor in amazing ways.
"Narrating the monotonous flow of a workday, McGlynn ironically speaks a lot about those moments that leave one with very little, or nothing, to say."
-Robb Donker Curtius

Relocating from upstate New York, Dwight McGlynn (Singer-songwriter), moved to Lynchburg Virginia in 2012 to study Classical Guitar. After playing in several bands, McGlynn formed Trouvére with its original members Jay Bisaga (bass), Riley Ball (drums), and Stevie Mangum (Lead E.G.). In the early stages, the group built their sound by playing numerous house shows and venues around the Lynchburg region. Growing in familiarity, the group became known as a staple band in the Lynchburg music scene. After several months of playing, the group entered the studio to record their freshman EP, St. Luna. The EP gained some traction in the area; getting online streaming as well as radio play on Charlottesville's WNRN. The group synthesized a dynamic sound that utilizes ambience with intriguing harmonic structure and transparent lyrics.
In the fall of 2017, Trouvére relocated to Morganton NC with a rotating outfit of members; Dwight McGlynn still remaining as songwriter and producer of the project. Since, when not teaching public school music, McGlynn has been writing new tunes under Trouvére and has been playing local venues around Western North Carolina. Working with Peter Brownlee out of Asheville, NC Trouvére is currently recording their second EP, to be released this fall.
