Trevor Hanson – guitarist

I’m now playing every Wednesday at Silverwater Cafe in Port Townsend. It’s great to have a regular solo spot in the P.T. area again. Silverwater is a great restaurant, with a long P.T. tradition. (We’ve enjoyed dining here since 2003, before we even moved west!) It’s right next to the Rose Theater, on Taylor Street downtown, near the fountain. My other regular performance is every Friday at Rolling Bay Winery on Bainbridge Island. It’s not the busy calendar I had before Covid; but now I have more time for ensemble work, special events, and other musical projects.

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.

At present my regular appearances are:

• Wednesdays: I’m (usually) solo at Silverwater Cafe in Port Townsend, from 5:30-8:30
• Fridays: I’m solo at Rolling Bay Winery on Bainbridge Island, from 5-7

Our regular appearances at Hard Hat Winery may resume in April.

I 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
• Julian Catford, guitarist; we usually play two nylon-string guitars, with a focus on latin material
• Mick Nicholson, ex-Navy Band bassist, a lyrical melodic bass soloist with whom I enjoy playing duos
• Roger Ferguson, national flatpick guitar champion and multi-instrumentalist; we perform as the More or Less Paulish Trio (with bassist Mick Nicholson)

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. I sometimes play an eight-string guitar as well.

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, the Old Alcohol Plant, and at many other area venues. That era ended in February 2022, when my wife got sick. She’s doing pretty well now. In summer 2023, I resumed performances on the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas, and I now again have a busy schedule, though not as frenetic as it was before Covid.
