Dear Friends,

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I often forget about this page with facebook being the main source of info and communications these days! But I want to wish you all a wonderful 2012! I'm very excited about this new year as it will bring great changes to my life. I am leaving the midwest and moving to Newport News, VA to start a new life with my new love and my new family. One never knows where life will lead us and I am very delighted about where it is taking me now. I continue to tour, have wonderful shows coming up that you can find out about on my concert page and my dog portrait business is really thriving. If you are interested in having your dog's portrait done, just contact me at tretfure@gmail.com

2012 also finds me assuming the presidency of Local 1000, the North American Traveling Musicians' Union that I have been a part of for 13 years. It is a local that makes a huge difference in the life of the folk artist. Folk musicians can now look forward to a pension because of the work we do. You can learn more about local 1000 atwww.local1000.org

And while teaching guitar has been a great blessing and gift to me, I will only be continuing lessons by skype and hopefully creating some online lessons. The day to day teaching ties me down too much right now with my touring schedule. But I will continue to do songwriting workshops and hope to present a few to you this year.

I want to thank you all for making my song and CD "The Horizon" high on the outvoice charts. You can continue to make that difference and show your support by going to

Have a wonderful New Year and I will try to be in touch more!
Peace and Blessings, Tret
