If "accomplishment and acclaim are the ingredients to fame," then Trevor Finlay is surely on the fast track to musical stardom. Finlay is a prodigious talent - singer, songwriter, guitarist, band leader - who fronts one of Canada''s most renowned electric blues ensembles, The Trevor Finlay Band.
Over a ten-year span Finlay has accomplished what it takes many recording artists several decades or more to complete, if they ever reach the heights this still-young musician has thus far realized. These include a four-CD body of work (1998 debut MORNING MAN; BUMPY ROADS (2001); the all-acoustic HOME TONIGHT (2003); and Finlay''s latest, SHOW ME WHAT U GOT (2005); a slew of individual awards, including "Best Canadian Blues/Rock Artist," "Best Canadian Blues Band/Central," "Best Unsigned Blues Act," and "Top Canadian Blues Guitarist (3rd)", all from REAL BLUES MAGAZINE''s 11th Annual Awards in 2004; nominations for "Male Vocalist Of The Year" (2002) and "New Artist Of The Year" (1999) by the Toronto Blues Society; and winner of the "First Annual Guitar Riff-Off" in Finlay''s hometown of Ottawa, Canada, in 1995.
Recent media acclaim has come from all corners of the globe and includes such respected publications as BLUESROCKERS/U.S. ("an excellent guitarist, both electric and acoustic, and a most adept and tasteful slide player"); and REAL BLUES/Canada ("This guy is going to be the next big thing for all the right reasons"). The singer/songwriter/guitarist has also received accolades from BLUES AND RHYTHM MAGAZINE/U.K.; BOBTJE BLUES/Belgium; and many more.
Radio-wise, SHOW ME WHAT U GOT was requested by more than 200 disc jockeys worldwide in a two-week period through Radio DirectX (RDX) Music Promotion. RDX reported in early September that SHOW ME WHAT U GOT was their second most requested CD ever and requests continue to be received. The stations represent over 25 countries and 20 states and feedback has been extremely positive: 96.3fm, CENTRAL COAST, AUSTRALIA ("The CD covers quite a few styles (Blues) very successfully in a modern way ... from the Delta to a Texas shuffle & a few surprises in between, great stuff!!"); RADIO MUNOT, SWITZERLAND ("Great music!"); TECKA''S TRACKS, HOTFM 106.7FM/AUSTRALIA ("This is a great cd, and one that I think will go a long way to getting Trevor noticed by everyone that listens to it... Some great "Loper" R/Blues tracks ... gutsy to the core. Top "Rock" beds and a nice little "acoustic track that does it for me"); KABLE 104.1-ETHER 105.1 - NETHERLANDS ("It fits very well in our program.....very refreshing blues.").
Performance-wise the Trevor Finlay Band has appeared at, among others, the Toronto Blues Festival; Ottawa, Canada''s Cisco Systems Bluesfest; Edmonton''s International Blues Festival; and the Victoriaville Blues Festival. The Trevor Finlay Band has graced the stages of (and left its signature kick-ass live show at) clubs across Canada. Kid Rock; James Brown; Booker T. and the MG''s; and guitar greats Johnny Winter and Buddy Guy are but a few of the big-name acts this rising star has shared stages with.
Accomplishment and acclaim -- Trevor Finlay is the name.
