Rolling Stone sums it up well: “Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley shred.”
As “two of the finest musicians playing today” (No Depression), Ickes and Hensley evoke excited analogies from the press, like “dual lightning strikes in a bottle” (Guitar Player), “an acoustic firestorm” (Vintage Guitar), and even “Afghan kite fighters” (Premier Guitar).
Put together a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11, and no doubt, they WILL electrify the scene!
Check out their bio to read about the famous collaborators and enthusiastic admirers of this GRAMMY nominated duo. (Y’know, like, Tommy Emmanuel, Willie Nelson, Earl Scruggs, Allison Krauss, Vince Gill, Little Feat, Jorma Kaukonen, Merle Haggard, Reba McEntire, Marty Stuart, STRAWBERRY MUSIC FESTIVAL – OK we’ll stop, you just have to read it).
We are tickled pink that these regulars at the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry are coming to Strawberry again this spring. Musical sparks are gonna fly, folks!
