About Me


Treva
How do you say it? Click here ("TREE-vah")
"These are melodies of depth, and her guitar work is exemplary." - Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine
Seattle born and now Nashville based, Treva has quickly risen to the top of an endless pool of talent that inundates Music City. Her ability to seamlessly weave a tapestry of folk and soul, dye it indigo blue, and adorn it with the occasional sparkling sequin of pop has earned her considerable recognition among artists and critics alike. Her songwriting is rock solid and mature, often earning favorable comparisons to Patty Griffin and Mindy Smith.
Treva spent the latter part of 2007 in the Compass Sound Studio and is now putting the finishing touches on the upcoming EP, As It Should Be. The follow up to her 2006 acoustic album Plain Vanilla Me finds Treva collaborating with her dapper band, The Suits. The album also features Dan Hochhalter (Gretchen Wilson) on fiddle, Ronda Armstrong ..o and backing vocals by Eric Paslay and Jeremy Lister. Look for it in the Spring of 2008!
*2006 Riverbluff Performing Songwriter Grand Prize Winner
*2006 USA Songwriting Competition Honorable Mention (Folk Category)
*2005 Kerrville Folk Festival Finalist
