Trey tells his story, drug use, band breakup and the way back

I think it's fair to say that if it weren't for Trey's drug use, the festival known as Coventry would never have happened. That means the band would have never broken up for more than five years. Page might not have headlined the 2007 High Sierra Festival; and Mike may have never released The Green Sparrow.

Trey himself would tell you that if not for a 3:00am traffic stop and the drug court system he might not even be alive today. That is just one thing that Trey revealed while on Capital Hill, lobbing congress on behalf of the Washington Drug Program. Trey opened up and revealed the seldom told story of his addition and recovery.
