GRAMMY® & IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Award Winners Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley perform LIVE at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday, May 29, 2025! Rob Ickes is the most decorated musician in IBMA history as a 15-time IBMA Resophonic Guitar Player of the Year and co-founder of the bluegrass supergroup Blue Highway. Trey Hensley is the 2023 IBMA Guitar Player of the Year—a guitar prodigy called “Nashville’s hottest young player” by Acoustic Guitar.  Together, Rob & Trey are a powerhouse acoustic duo who have received praise from legends like Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart, and Tommy Emmanuel, CGP and been referred to as "two of the finest musicians playing today" by No Depression, “bluegrass aces” by Rolling Stone, ”dual lightning strikes in a bottle" by Guitar Player, and "the Swiss Army Knife of roots music" by WMOT's Craig Havighurst.

Noted for their guitar prowess (Ickes & Hensley were invited to perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023 in Los Angeles alongside some of the world's greatest guitarists), white-hot picking (as Acoustic Guitar puts it:  "hot-shot guitar picking...steel-string bluegrass with all the intensity of rock 'n' roll"), world class musicianship, soulful stone country vocals and top-shelf songwriting, Ickes & Hensley cleverly meld bluegrass, country, blues, rock, jam grass, and more to create a signature musical blend that defies restrictions of genre.  

Influenced by repertoires as diverse as The Allman Brothers Band, Buck Owens, Ray Charles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Del McCoury and The Band, Rob & Trey have collaborated with Vince Gill, Taj Mahal, Tommy Emmanuel, Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Little Feat, Marty Stuart, Steve Wariner, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Leftover Salmon, Steve Vai, Rodney Crowell, Molly Tuttle, David Grisman, Jorma Kaukonen, and Hot Tuna, among many others.  Rob & Trey's latest critically acclaimed, song-centric album, Living In A Song—produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer/engineer/songwriter Brent Maher (The Judds, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Tina Turner)—is available now. Having received multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations, Rob & Trey became GRAMMY® Award winners for the first time on Feb. 2, 2025 at The 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards in Los Angeles as members of The Taj Mahal Sextet, whose 2024 recording, Swingin’ Live At The Church In Tulsa, won the GRAMMY® Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.
