2025 is off to an exciting start for Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley - between a GRAMMY win, Trey's guitar debut, and many upcoming shows, there is much to celebrate for this duo.
As members of the Taj Mahal Sextet, Rob and Trey took home the GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Blues Album alongside 2025 GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Taj Mahal, Bobby Ingano, Bill Rich, and the late/great Kester Smith. This award recognizes the group's record Swingin' Live At The Church In Tulsa that was released last spring. Rob and Trey's first duo album was nominated for a GRAMMY and they have been part of many nominations and winning projects since then, but this is the first time they've been awarded a GRAMMY themselves. Congratulations to Rob, Trey, and the entire Taj Mahal Sextet on this well-deserved award!
Trey recently partnered with Huss & Dalton Guitar Company to craft the Trey Hensley TD-R Signature Model Guitar. His guitar debuted to the public at the 2025 NAMM Show, held in Los Angeles from January 21st through 25th, and was chosen as the NAMM 2025 Editor's Pick by Premier Guitar. As described by Premier Guitar, "The adventurous bluegrass burner Trey Hensley & acoustic stalwarts Huss & Dalton combined to release a delightful dread." Learn more about how this guitar came to be in the video below.
With their tour in full swing and a number of festival appearances to come, there is much to look forward to as the year continues. Visit their tour page to make sure you don't miss this GRAMMY-winning duo at a show near you. You might even get to hear Trey's Signature Guitar in action!
