Trevor Hanson – guitarist

Updated 10 April 2025

I’m performing and teaching at the La Conner Guitar Festival this May 16-18. This is a great event every year, with loads of incredible guitars and their builders, and many tremendous musicians. It’s really worth the trip. There’s a little more description on my Workshops page.

I finally added a few clips: see my media link.

My schedule is complicated again! That’s good news. I have regular events each week, plus a number of special appearances and private events.

Regular performances continue as follows (with occasional exceptions):

• Fridays: I’m solo at Rolling Bay Winery on Bainbridge Island, from 5-7
• 2nd/4th (sometimes 5th) Sundays): I’m solo at Hard Hat Winery north of Poulsbo, from 2-4
• 1st/3rd Sundays: Roger Ferguson and I appear as the More or Less Paulish Duo at Hard Hat Winery north of Poulsbo, from 2-4
• Alternate Saturdays from 5-7: Tony & Trevor, Two Guitars appear at the Bishop Hotel Bottle Shop, on Washington Street in Port Townsend

I also have occasional events scheduled at these venues:

• Vintage by Port Townsend Vineyards, on Water Street in Port Townsend
• Cellar Cat in Kingston, near the ferry dock
• Old Alcohol Plant in Port Hadlock

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 Duo (sometimes Trio, with bassist Mick Nicholson), including alternate Sundays at Hard Hat Winery

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. 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.
