The Trey Jewell Interview

Trey Jewell - Lead Singer / Rhythm Guitarist Rising country star Trey Jewell is a singer/songwriter born and raised in the prolific musical environment of Memphis, TN. Trey came by his musical interest honestly as he followed his father’s career as a solo artist and as the tenor/lead in the southern gospel quartet Call to Worship.

At the age of 13 Trey penned his first song “Blue Rider” which many of his fans still acknowledge as one of his greatest compositions. Writing beyond his years, Trey honed his skills to produce haunting melodies to showcase his lyrics which drive home the pain of a broken heart and the joy of love. At 14, Trey assembled his first band and self-produced his demo “The Acoustic Set” including 5 original songs. This demo was later expanded into a 10 song collection released in November of 2006. That was when Dad decided it was time to head 200 miles east to Nashville to help Trey pursue his dream. The very first day Trey hit Nashville, he was showcasing his talent everywhere he went with his dad on his left providing harmonies that only come from close family. They were quickly noticed and asked to record Trey’s Nashville debut CD “All Roads Lead to You”, released in June of 2007. It has been an eventful experience since the CD release party in Music City USA. Trey has performed at several venues opening for the Flat River Band, James Beau Edwards, Rio Grand, and Rick Monroe in addition to headlining at Hard Rock Café on Beale Street in Memphis and The Legendary Beach Wagon in Myrtle Beach, SC.
