Trevor Finlay

Born in Winnipeg, Canada, Trevor Finlay 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. 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.
