TRAFFIC FICTION OUT OCTOBER 6 VIA OH BOY RECORDS 

“A master storyteller”  NPR 

"Tre Burt uses his storytelling prowess to tell the stories of the moment"  Grammy.com

“Burt’s lyrics take on the personal and political. He brings them to life with evocative imagery and little details that suck you in and offer a clear portrait of each song’s subject matter and tone”  No Depression

“piercing new folk polemic” - Rolling Stone on “Under the Devil's Knee"

“Sacramento based Tré Burt's has a voice that envelopes you, embraces you like a weathered rustic novel told to you as an impressionable youngster by a loved one who is older and more wise.” - American Pancake 

Singer-songwriter Tré Burt has shared the title-track off his forthcoming new album, Traffic Fiction, which is being released on October 6 via Oh Boy Records. The album marks a musical reinvention and is deeply influenced by the soul music he listened to with his grandfather as a child. His Grandfather, Tommy Burt passed away as he was writing this album, but their relationship is preserved via the 14 tracks found on Traffic Fiction.  Of today’s single Tré shares, "’Traffic Fiction’ was originally a poem I wrote in a bar in Calgary called ‘A Poem Written in a Calgary Bar.’ I probably read some headline about impending war that day and thought ‘why is that my problem?’ and got to writing this poem over a beer and spliff in the early hours of morning. The words ‘Traffic Fiction’ seemed a good way to describe the way media, world leaders and governments exploit our fear of death in order to corroborate us in their own self interests, holding us all hostage on their sinking ship (and in a microcosmic sense how we everyday neighbors do the same to each other) and figured it make for a good song.”  The video for the song was directed by Josh Shoemaker.  Listen/share “Traffic Fiction” here 

Tré has previously teased the album with the jubilant “Santiago” which saw support from No Depression and MXDWN, among others and more recently “Kids In Tha Yard” which Brooklyn Vegan called  a bluesy, psychedelic soul song"  Pre-order Traffic Fiction here.
