Java Notes Presents Tret Fure in Concert

JAVA NOTES Concert Series is proud to present Tret Fure in concert.

Proceeds from this show will benefit Dane County Habitat for Humanity

Tret Fure’s career spans 4 decades. She began her professional work at the age of 16, singing in coffeehouses and campuses in the Midwest, moving to Berkeley where, after performing weekly on the campus of UC Berkeley where she attended college, she discovered that music really was her life. At 19, she moved to LA to pursue a songwriting and musical career. Within a year she was performing as guitarist and vocalist for Spencer Davis, touring with him and penning the single for his album “Mousetrap”. She went on to record her own album in 1973 on MCA/UNI Records, with the late Lowell George of Little Feat as her producer. With the success of that release, she opened for such bands as Yes, Poco, and the J Geils Band.

In the early 80s, Tret left the mainstream music industry. Armed with a fierce desire to retain full artistic control, she began exploring the independent side of the industry and soon discovered the blossoming genre known as Women’s Music. She has been a major player in that field ever since. Now after 4 acoustic releases on her own label, Tomboy girl Records, she has re-established herself in the folk world winning the 2004 South Florida Folk Festival Singer/Songwriter Competition in 2 out of 3 categories. 2004 also brought her recognition with the prestigious Jane Schliessman Award for Outstanding Contributions to Women’s Music. Tret has released 11 recordings to date.

Reviews~

“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.”...Dirty Linen
