TRET FURE

Tret Fure's rockin' aggressive folk continues to collect accolades through her dynamic solo work. She was the winner of the 2004 South Florida Folk Festival Singer/Songwriter Competition in two of three categories and the 2004 Phyllis Schliessman Award for Outstanding Contributions to Women's Music. Performing Songwriter has this to say about her latest CD, Anytime Anywhere: "Acoustic guitars and various percussion instruments permeate the album, and Fure's strong vocals breathe amazing life into her songs. The entire album consistently conveys Fure's energetic spirit and passion for life. Dirty Linen says "Whether the tone is wittily sexy, for the playful "Trouble," or reflective and socially conscious, in the fine folk anthem "Further," her wonderful sense of melody prevails and emotions are out there on her sleeve. Oh, that more artists could be this dependable and this versatile."
Fure also markets of her own line of clothing named after her popular song "Tomboy girl". With the success of this venture, she now owns a retail store in Madison, WI. In addition, she has produced a series called Music & Comedy in Madison and has hosted the successful festival, Tomboy girl Fest. An accomplished cook, Fure has also published a cookbook, Tret's Kitchen, featuring her own recipes. Along with bridging the marketing, production, and music worlds, Tret serves as Vice President on the executive board of the Local 1000 Traveling Musicians Association--a union geared toward helping traveling musicians find security and longevity.
