Trey Tosh

 

Like many blues stories do, Trey Tosh's starts with a girl.

 

It was last August, weeks before school started up again, and his girlfriend left him.

 

"She broke up with me and walked away with my best friend," Tosh says, a hint of heartache still in his voice.

 

His reaction was what you would expect from a 12-year-old.

 

So he exiled himself to his room. He was listening to Jonny Lang's "Breakin' Me," and that struck him.

 

Then he heard his stepdad listening to Vaughan and that struck him harder.

 

"I ran upstairs and grabbed my stepdad's guitar, and I started rocking out," Tosh says.

 

He learned the song "Texas Flood" note for note, and soon he was in his room even more. Only now it wasn't dwelling on a girl; it was practicing guitar until 2 in the morning.

 

"I think my stepdad was really happy because I didn't listen to, like, Slipknot anymore," Tosh says.

 

Since then, Tosh has been obsessed with the blues, soaking in everything he can. He's secured a biweekly gig at Porky's, where he covers tunes from Vaughan, Hendrix, Chuck Berry and Eric Clapton.

 

Of course, he looks a bit conspicuous in bars. One night he was playing at Sheri's Roadhouse in Clovis. It was 11:30 p.m., and a man stopped Tosh and asked, "What are you doing here?"

 

Tosh explained he was there to play the blues.

 

"Are you serious?" was the man's response.

 

"It's kinda weird seeing someone my age inspired by this kind of music," Tosh says. "Nowadays, everybody my age is listening to emo and metal and that kind of stuff."
