Tret Fure’s career spans 50 years, releasing award-winning music in that time. Starting as the guitar player for Spencer Davis back in 1971, she released her first album in 1973 on MCA Records, produced by the late Lowell George of Little Feat fame.

Tret has just released her 18th album, “Lavender Moonshine”. “I have always been a fan of Tret’s live shows at Godfrey Daniels over many years, but, listening to her latest CD Lavender Moonshine, I come away in awe of her prowess as a studio artist. Besides the broad themes of the songs themselves (addressing current social issues while serving up some lovely love songs), I was struck by how rich the production values are: creative, yet simple instrumentation, nice backing vocals and arrangements. Above it all stands Tret’s expressive and velvety vocals. Tret is a master at this and has put together an impressive collection of great songs with a sound that tickles my mind and ears.” Dave Fry – radio programmer, former Artistic Director of Godfrey Daniels.

A Still Small Voice 4U presented the 2023 Phil Ochs Award to Tret Fure in recognition of her music and activism for social and political justice in the spirit of Phil Ochs.
