Tret Fure
Tret Fure has been a performing singer/songwriter for 53 years. At 19, she moved to LA to find a record deal and within a year she was performing as guitarist and vocalist for Spencer Davis, touring with him and penning the single for his album "Mousetrap." In 1973, she recorded her own album “Tret Fure” on MCA/UNI Records, produced by Lowell George of Little Feat.
A prolific artist in the contemporary singer-songwriter arena, Tret Fure has released 18 albums and CDs. She also engineered and produced countless recordings by a variety of artists, including her own work.
Tret recently won the 2023 Phil Ochs Award in recognition of her music and activism for social and political justice. Add that to a long list of awards and recognition including winning the “A Still Small Voice 4U” songwriting competition with her song “Monuments”.
In addition to touring and recording, Tret teaches guitar and songwriting individually and in workshop settings. She paints pet portraits on commission and, an accomplished cook, Fure has also published a cookbook, "Tret's Kitchen", featuring her own recipes. Along with bridging the marketing, production, music, and art worlds, Tret served for 6 years as President of Local 1000, The Traveling Musicians Association—a union geared toward helping traveling musicians find security and longevity.
