["Tree-va Bloom-kwist"]
"...a folk soprano... her CD is titled Plain Vanilla Me, but she sells herself short. These are melodies of depth, and her guitar work is exemplary." - Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine
Once a Seattle resident, Treva Blomquist is now a Nashville local and has quickly risen to the top of an endless pool of talent that inundates the music city. Treva's ability to seamlessly weave a tapestry of folk and soul, dye it indigo blue, and adorn it with the occasional sparkling sequin of pop has earned her considerable recognition among artists and critics alike. Her songwriting is rock solid and mature, often earning favorable comparisons to Patty Griffin and Mindy Smith, with the exception that Treva is more versatile than either of the aforementioned tunesmiths. Treva is comfortable and compelling performing as a solo act, in front of a small string section, or shaking the walls of any rock venue in town with her band, The Suits.
Although Treva's brilliant songwriting and impressive guitar chops distinguish her from other artists in her genre, it is her voice that places her in a league of her own. Treva's range is wide and her timbre is as focused and as pure as a trumpet, and just as powerful. But it is the integrity and authenticity embedded within her lyrics, and the passion and soul conveyed through her voice that are truly the most inspiring. Treva posses a rare talent that is often sought after but rarely obtained.
Treva will be on tour throughout 2007 in support of her latest album, which is currently being recorded in Nashville, TN.

I Could Get Used To This
Treva Blomquist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
every time you made me feel like this
No need to save them all away
Iʻm not expecting rain
Everyday would be a sunny day
I could get used to this
Get used to the way you smile
spin me, hold me closer while
I could get used to this
You know the inʻs and outʻs of me
The upʻs and downʻs and in between
I donʻt need cars or fancy things
as long as youʻre in me
I got everything that I ever need
I could get used to this
Get used to the way you smile
spin me, hold me closer while
weʻre dancing on the rooftop in the mist
I could get used to this
get used to the way, you always say
you love me more with every passing day
I get used to your laugh
youʻre my better half
get used to you, get used to
get used to you
get used to the way you smile
spin me, hold me closer while
weʻre dancing on the rooftop in the mist
I could get used to this
