“The next guitar legend on the verge of greatness.”—GROUPEEZ MAGAZINE
“Extraordinary guitar work and voice that belies his age...on the cusp of something big.”—THE GRAND RAPIDS PRESS
It takes some people their whole lives to decide what they want to do. Trevor Menear figured it out by the time he was two.
That’s how old he was when his parents gave him a drum kit. He loved his little set, but found himself gravitating toward his father’s guitars. “I would pick them up and fool around, bend the strings,” Menear recalls.
Twenty-one years later, the Chicago-based guitar slinger hasn’t looked back. On his self-titled debut, he conjures up images of his musical heroes Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman, while creating his own accessible blues pop hybrid. His expressive voice is bolstered by his plangent, nuanced guitar work that belies his young age. France’s CROSSroads magazine declares, “his playing is on par with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jonny Lang.”
