Author: Nate Riggs December 20, 2024 Duration: 25:31

In Ep.21 of the Music Festivals Podcast, I talk with Grammy Nominated singer, songwriter and bluegrass guitarist, Trey Hensley. Trey was also 2023's IBMA Guitar Player of the Year and up for even more accolades this year. During the conversation, we get into how Trey balances the demands of being a professional touring musician with family and life as an active and engaged parent. We cover a lot of ground in this chat -- from Trey’s amazing guitar collection, to recent collaborations to his upcoming projects and tour dates in 2025 -- this interview is full of stuff you should know.
