Trevor Hanson – guitarist

Big news! I’ve just started playing every Wednesday at Silverwater Cafe in Port Townsend. I’ve missed having a regular solo spot in the P.T. area after Covid. Silverwater is a great restaurant, with a long P.T. tradition. We have been enjoying dining here since 2003, before we even moved west. It’s right next to the Rose Theater on Taylor Street downtown, near the fountain.

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 thinned out this winter, as I dealt with some new life issues that poked their heads up. 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
• 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.

Trevor

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.
