Trevor Finlay is a Nashville-based blues-rock artist delivering road-tested grit, classic rock swagger, and modern storytelling. With a career spanning over 30 years, he’s built a reputation as both a compelling solo artist and a highly sought-after sideman, touring internationally and, at his peak, logging more than 300 shows a year. Over the course of his career, he has shared the stage with legends including James Brown, Buddy Guy, and Johnny Winter, as well as Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Chris Isaak, and Charlie Daniels.
Rooted in blues and rock, Finlay’s sound draws from icons like The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers, and Muddy Waters, balanced with a sharp, personality-driven edge. As Drum Media once described, he lands somewhere between “Muddy Waters and David Lee Roth,” a reflection of both his musical depth and his unmistakable stage presence. His guitar work is melodic, dynamic, and always in service of the song, reinforcing his identity as a musician first and a performer always.
Finlay is currently building toward his seventh studio album, releasing music through a strategic singles rollout that reflects today’s streaming landscape. His upcoming single, “Shut the Hell Up” (June 5, 2026), delivers a high-energy, no-filter blues-rock punch, capturing the attitude, humor, and swagger that define his brand.
His previous release, “Get Into It,” extended his reach beyond the stage, with songs landing in network television placements including CBS’s All Rise (“Poor Lucille”) and ABC’s Stumptown (“Get Into It”). Across his catalog, Finlay continues to bridge live performance, songwriting, and sync-ready production.
Beyond his work as an artist, Finlay is an accomplished songwriter, producer, and session musician, contributing to a wide range of projects across genres from country and blues to rock and pop. His versatility, paired with an authentic, non-gimmick approach, has made him a trusted collaborator for both emerging artists and established names.
At his core, Trevor Finlay isn’t a nostalgia act, he’s a living extension of classic rock tradition, bringing humor, soul, and real-world experience into everything he creates.
