Tret Fure CD Release
Tret Fure’s musical journey has a unique trajectory. She started out as vocalist/guitarist with Spencer Davis, penning the single for his album “Mousetrap.” Her first solo recording was produced by Lowell George of "Little Feat." With the success of that release she opened for bands like Yes, Poco and J. Geils. In the 1980’s Tret left the pop music world and, over time, became a highly influential and well-loved figure in the women’s music movement. She has been a major player in that field ever since, recording with and producing some of the best of women’s music including the legendary “Meg & Cris at Carnegie Hall.” She worked as a duo with Cris Williamson throughout the 90s releasing 3 CDs together during those years. Tret has garnered the prestigious Jane Schliessman Award for "Outstanding Contributions to Women’s Music" and was voted “Pride In The Arts Favorite Female/Lesbian Musician” in 2009. She is president of Local 1000, the Traveling Musicians Union of the American Federation of Musicians.
And she continues to turn out marvelous albums, her latest being “Rembrandt Afternoons,” which Tret claims as her “best work yet, encompassing topics of freedom, justice, transgender issues, love songs, personal journeys and tongue in check blues. The musicianship is top-notch. I've worked with the same rhythm section for over 5 CDs and we just get tighter and tighter.”
