Trevor Hall Gordon - Let Your Heart Be Light

Trevor is an acoustic instrumentalist, from Philadelphia, whose compositions range in style from driving rhythms to soft melodic phrases. Trevor caught the eye of 9 time Grammy winning producer Joe Nicolo (James Taylor, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, etc.), who produced two of Trevor's releases entitled "Finding My Way" and "Let Your Heart Be Light". His music has garnered high reviews and has given Trevor such opportunities as recording with bass virtuoso Michael Manring and sharing the stage with artists such as Pat Martino, Phil Keaggy, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Alex Skolnick, Billy Cobham, etc. His most recent project has led him to collaborate with various builders to redesign an instrument called the kalimba, which mounts on the surface of the guitar. Compositions inspired by the pairing of the two instruments can be heard in Trevor's Candyrat Records debut "Entelechy". Upon it's release, this album climbed the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts, as well as YouTube Top Commented/Top Favorited/Most Discussed categories with the release of Videos. His music has been featured on various radio stations including NPR and television programs including NBC and has enabled him to tour throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe. '...Creative imagination resides, as well as flourishes within certain artists, and it certainly does so in Trevor Gordon Hall. Ingenuity is something that always causes surprise, and this gentleman's abilities are totally exceptional...' Pat Martino - Legendary Jazz Guitarist '...In the genre of intriguing guitar players Trevor really stands out. His music is both soothing and challenging...' Graham Nash - Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, well known member of the group Crosby, Stills, and Nash. 'Trevor is very skilled...his compositions are beautiful, atmospheric, open and heartfelt...I admire him very much...I know he will have so many audiences falling over themselves to see him again and again and I wish him lots of joy in his musical journeys...' Tommy Emmanuel - Award Winning Guitar Virtuoso '...Trevor has something very unique, and very special...' Billy Cobham - Legendary Jazz Drummer (Miles Davis, John McLaughlin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc) 'Fascinating technique and approach.' Steve Kimock - Jam Band Guitar Legend (Steve Kimock Band, played with Grateful Dead) "Trevor is one of the few post-Michael Hedges guitarists who has managed to incorporate that vast repository of innovation while having an artistic voice strong enough to steadfastly avoid imitation. However technically proficient Trevor is, he is not one of the swarm of guitarists who revel in guitar gymnastics for their sake alone. His technique follows artistic expression as it should. Trevor is capable of a range of styles while having every note seem to express something sincere and meaningful to him. This is a fine debut from a guitarist we will need to pay attention to." Will Ackerman - Grammy winning guitarist/composer and producer, founded the influential new age label Windham Hill Records.
