Travis Book & Friends Ft. Trey Hensley with Shawn Lane

Launched in August of 2020, Tuesday Casual Collaborations at 185 King Street has become a cornerstone of the vibrant Brevard music community. Every week Travis Book assembles a unique group of musicians for a one-time-only show, drawing on his vast network of friends and growing repertoire of musical styles. From Bluegrass to Blues, Songwriter to Americana, Country to Funk, Travis and his ever-evolving cast of local and national (even international) musicians consistently hit the sweet spot between preparation and spontaneity.  This week is a Happy Hour edition which means there will be an added interview segment of the featured guest in the middle of the show.  

 

Trey Hensley is a GRAMMY®-nominated musician and singer/songwriter who was voted the 2023 Guitar Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.

He has been referred to as “Nashville’s hottest young player” by Acoustic Guitar magazine. In addition to a storied solo career and a duo career with award-winning resophonic guitarist Rob Ickes (NPR has called them “two musical phenoms”), Trey has worked with a diverse list of artists including Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Marty Stuart, Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton, Taj Mahal, Tommy Emmanuel, Rodney Crowell, Old Crow Medicine Show, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Little Feat, Leftover Salmon and REO Speedwagon.

Trey can be heard on the latest album by Ickes & Hensley, Living In A Song and collaborating with Rob Ickes and Molly Tuttle on “John Deere Tractor” on the A Tribute To The Judds album; as a member of the Taj Mahal Sextet on the newly released recording, Swingin’ Live at the Church in Tulsa; and with Alison Brown and Steve Martin on the song “Bluegrass Radio.”
