The Travis Book Happy Hour: Trey Hensley

Trey Hensley is simply the wildest acoustic guitarist I have ever encountered. His touch and control on the guitar are unmatched and have impressed me. But he is also as kind and humble as a guy from East Tennessee can be. I had a great time making music with and learning more about this musical titan and I am so excited to provide this podcast.
