Blues Musician. Brother of Richard Trice, earning a reputation by his own right playing his modern country blues and recording several albums over a span of three decades with Rich, including, 'Carolina Blues' featuring, 'Come On In Here Mama.' He played what was known locally as Piedmont Blues and was rather well known in the area during the 1930s and 1940s. He played and recorded with more nationally famous locals such as his friend, Blind Boy Fuller, and was rediscovered in the late 1960s by local musicians and folklorists. He was born William Augusta Trice.
