Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley interview

Author: Matt Hutchinson February 9, 2023 Duration: 32:31

My guests on the podcsat this week are Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley.

Rob and Trey have a fantastic new record out called 'Living in a Song' and they joined me to chat about the inspiration behind the songs, the recording process and much more.

Trey has been on the podcast before, but this was my first time chatting to Rob, so that was a real treat. They're great to chat to and I love the new record.

You'll find all the info you need on Rob & Trey's website.

You can also follow them on Instagram and Facebook for updates and news.

Rob and Trey’s lessons are on the Big Music Tent website
