Trey has performed and/or recorded with Larry Carlton, Joe Cocker, Jose Feliciano, Steven Stills, Graham Nash,
Cher, Les Dudek, Mike Finnigan, Jim Krueger, James Newton-Howard, David Foster, Amy Holland, Michael McDonald, Jim Mandell, Linda
Thompson, as well as many others. He studied under Dick Grove, Herb Mickman, Carol Kaye and Joseph Valenti. Trey spent years
touring with some of those hard working bands (in the 70's and 80's), and worked in the Los Angeles area as a session player
and touring musician. He also worked with Mike Post, playing music for the television shows Hill Street Blues, Magnum PI,
Hunter and others.
Sara has always had a strong passion for music and for composing songs for herself and for others in many different styles.
She has aired a song called "Little Whisper" on the local Christian radio station, won an award at the Kauai Music Festival
for a song she co-wrote with Trey called "If Angels Weep", and is currently writing for an upcoming new artist on Kauai.
Sara wrote "Behind The Moon" during the recording of this album. In this song, she shares the intensity and love one feels
when empowered with a gift to help another in need, when it seems the odds are insurmountable.
Today, Trey, Sara, and their sons Taylor & Wyatt make their home on Kauai. Trey and Sara can often be found performing jazz at one
of the local evening venues with a trio or a quartet. |
