BIOGRAPHY
It was a natural learning curve for the multi-talented musician, who’s
been playing guitar since he was nine, and first began performing in clubs
while he was still a teenager.
Born in Winnipeg, Canada, Trevor grew up listening to the work
of Muddy Waters, the Rolling Stones, Albert Collins, B.B.
King, Johnny Cash, Brian Setzer and Buddy Guy. He paid his
dues north of the border, and through steady touring, club gigs and annual
appearances at respected events like the Ottawa Blues Festival, the young
blues/rocker built a powerful fan following and enviable radio airplay.
Momentum was further fueled by Trevor’s numerous nominations and awards,
media attention and critical recognition from Billboard, Real Blues, and
the Toronto Blues Society, among others.
Sandwiched in between were four CDs that he recorded and released
independently: Morning Man (1998), Bumpy Roads (2001), the all-acoustic
Home Tonight (2003), and Show Me What U Got (2005).
In 2010, he started recording and releasing select live shows known as
the Bootleg series which also garnered acclaim from fans and critics
alike.
It was inevitable that Trevor would eventually find his way to Nashville.
His eclectic, stir-fried mix of guitar-driven blues, rock and
rockabilly created a natural fusion with Southern rock, gospel and
contemporary country influences introduced to him by working with such
collaborators as Sam Tate, Rich Fagan, Ray Barnette, and Jimbeau Hinson to
name just a few.
Touring in the U.S. and abroad remains a mainstay of Trevor’s musical
popularity. Over the course of his career, he’s shared the stage
with everyone from John Hiatt, James Brown and Booker T and the MG’s
to Kid Rock, Kanye West and Chris Isaac, as well as Johnny Winter
and Buddy Guy.
Trevor spent seven weeks on tour in Australia in 2007, earning an
endorsement for a VioLap, a unique lap steel guitar created and produced
by Cole Clark Guitars. Now, with his move to Nashville and an
influx of new dimensions to his songwriting, Trevor is looking forward to
recording his next CD in 2011.
