Trevor Hall’s musical career began at the age of 11 when the budding artist began to learn to play the harmonica. Inspired by the power of the small instrument, the artist quickly began to write his own songs and compositions while still in the early years of his schooling. Excited to perform from a young age, Trevor Hall was known locally for his many concerts and performances.
At the age of 16, Trevor Hall recorded his first album and soon after the young musician dropped out of traditional schooling to attend Idyllwild Arts Academy where he studied classical guitar. Trevor Hall’s time at the Los Angeles boarding school proved fruitful and the artist signed a record deal with Geffen Records before graduating.
Trevor Hall’s star began to rise during a series of concert tours with huge artists such as The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff and Colbie Caillat. The singer transferred to Vanguard Records in 2009 and his debut album with the label, “Trevor Hall”, debuted at the number seven spot on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. The album received extensive critical acclaim and Trevor Hall was named one of the artists to watch in 2010.
With a strong fan base earned through extensive touring, Trevor Hall utilised the power of his fans by announcing his sixth studio album, “Chapter of the Forrest”, the day before its release. The singer’s fans proved themselves loyal and the album debuted at the number two position on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts the day of its release.
Multi-instrumentalists are always mesmerising, but Trevor Hall’s talent on the accordion as well as the guitar is on another level. His skilful playing demonstrate the years he’s given to the instrument, and although he doesn’t play it often any more, watching his fingers dance over the complex keys and buttons in an alternative version of All I Ever Know was something wonderful to witness.
He opened the show with his track Unity which he played acoustically on his guitar. He bugan playing the introduction, then started laughing a little and stopped to answer questions from fans, which was a really nice personal touch, before continuing with the song. His powerful rocky voice rang out through the venue, and every single person in the crowd seemed to be singing along, so he occasionally stopped singing and let the audience fill in the song for him, which was pretty cool.
He played a few of his singles from over the years, but mainly focused on his self titled album, playing it in its entirety. The set was reasonably long, and it was nicely broken up with a few covers, and some banter with the audience. Hall is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter, and I can’t wait for his new album Chapter of the Forest to hopefully tour!
