Trevor Hanson – guitarist

Well summer seems to have arrived and we’re having a great season of outdoor music and other events.

You can find a few clips of me playing solo and with ensembles at my media link. Sorry that there isn’t much, yet. I never seem to have time for recording.

Regular performances continue as follows (with occasional exceptions):

• Fridays: I’m solo at Rolling Bay Winery on Bainbridge Island, from 5-7
• 2nd/4th (and usually 5th) Sundays): I’m solo at Hard Hat Winery north of Poulsbo, from 2-4+
• 1st/3rd Sundays: Roger Ferguson, Mick Nicholson, and I usually appear twice monthly as the More or Less Paulish Trio at Hard Hat Winery north of Poulsbo, from 2-4+

I also have occasional events scheduled at these and other venues:

• Vintage by Port Townsend Vineyards, on Water Street in Port Townsend
• Cellar Cat in Kingston, near the ferry dock
• Port Townsend Farmer’s Market

I play occasional duos/trios with wonderful musicians:

• Tony Petrillo, vocalist and guitarist; we play many gigs as Tony & Trevor, Two Guitars, with several on the schedule presently including alternate Saturdays at The Bishop in Port Townsend
• Julian Catford, guitarist; we usually play two nylon-string guitars with a focus on latin material
• Roger Ferguson, national flatpick guitar champion and multi-instrumentalist; we perform as the More or Less Paulish Trio (with bassist Mick Nicholson), including alternate Sundays at Hard Hat Winery
• John Stowell, extraordinary Portland guitarist with endless recording, teaching, and composition credits. I played with John on 18 June 2025 at Vintage. See his website (www.JohnStowell.com) for his background. We’re talking about additional events but schedules are complicated.

I still hope to resume finding periodic Irish pub gigs moving forward, bringing back my Trevor the Shantyman persona. Nothing on the calendar yet, however.

I’ll post updates to my email list, and on Facebook; and I will gradually add material to this new website. However, this website is still getting scant attention. Please be patient.

I play a diverse mix of music styles, drawing from jazz, classical, folk, and other traditions.  My work is often as a soloist, but I sometimes join other area musicians. I mostly play seven-string guitars, both nylon- and steel-string.

From 2011 until 2022, I appeared solo every week at Alchemy Bistro & Wine Bar, in Port Townsend: over a decade. (There’s a chance I may resume appearing at Alchemy; stay tuned.) I also performed regularly at Ajax Cafe, The Resort at Port Ludlow, Ichikawa, and at many other area venues. That era ended in February 2022, when my wife got sick. She’s doing well now. In summer 2023, I resumed performances on the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas, and now again have a busy schedule.
