about
The singer/guitarist known simply as Tre carried on the traditions of his father's music, recapturing the sound and feeling of '50s-era Chicago blues with accuracy and real affection. Born in Grenada, Mississippi, he was raised on Chicago's South Side, initially playing rock and R&B; his musical allegiance moved to the blues while backing Banks between 1981 and 1987, during which time he honed a fluid, shimmering guitar style. Tre's solo debut, Delivered for Glory -- Reclaiming the Blues, appeared in 1996; the follow-up, Blues Knock'n Baby -- recorded with backing band the Blueknights -- was released a year later. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide Who is this new young Blues man... With the 21st Century rapidly approaching, many of the current crop of blues acts are polyester suited, retro acts content with reliving the classic sounds of the 1950's. However, a new breed of young and upcoming Blues artists are emerging from the Chicagoland area. One such artist, Tre' has stepped out as the best of the lot. He possesses spectacular vocal performances and an outstanding guitar ability flaming on the heels of such greats as Albert King, Little Milton, Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix. Tre' learned to play the guitar at the tender age of five from watching his father, L.V. Banks. He worked his first professional Blues gig in 1974. Since then, he has paid his dues learning from some of the best in the business, such as Little Milton, Albert King, Albert Collins, Otis Clay,
