Trevor Finlay is a Nashville-based blues-rock artist known for road-tested musicianship, classic rock influence, and a strong sense of story in his songwriting. With a career spanning more than 30 years, he’s built a reputation both as a solo artist and as a respected sideman, touring internationally and—at his busiest—playing upwards of 300 shows a year. Along the way, he’s shared stages with major names including James Brown, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, Chris Isaak, and Charlie Daniels.
Rooted in blues and rock, Finlay’s sound draws from artists like The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers, and Muddy Waters, while keeping a distinct edge of personality and presence. Drum Media once placed him somewhere between “Muddy Waters and David Lee Roth,” a line that captures the balance in his work: grounded musicianship with an unmistakable performance style. His guitar playing is melodic and dynamic, always focused on serving the song rather than overpowering it.
Finlay is currently working toward his seventh studio album, releasing new music through a steady singles rollout that fits today’s streaming landscape. His latest single, “A Little Too Much,” takes a sharp, hook-driven look at information overload, pairing humour with an easy groove and clear storytelling. It follows “Shut the Hell Up” (June 5, 2026), a high-energy blues-rock track that leans into the directness and confidence that have become central to his sound.
