"[Trevor] is definitely a new and fresh sound with strong determination"
- Bands In Town Boston
"Young, spirited singer/songwriter Trevor Jude Smith offers a refreshing approach to popular music with a unique fusion of sounds ranging from folk to rock to alternative. His playful, clever lyrics and soothing melodies could easily find themselves among the likes of Top 40 frequenters like Snow Patrol and Jason Mraz. Smith adds a light-hearted and intriguing dimension to his music with instruments like the ukulele."

"[Trevor's] music draws from the eclecticism of Paul Simon and the catchy pop-appeal of John Mayer."
- The Wesleyan Argus

Bio
Coming straight from West Hartford, Connecticut and now at Boston's Berklee College of Music, Trevor and his band have taken the Northeast music scene by storm. Using unique influences such as funk, pop, anti-folk, and comedy, Trevor has created a musical melting pot appealing to all.
Tom, the bassist comes from a funk punk background which keeps the beat with jazz influenced drummer Kenny Cabell. Trevor's voice and ukulele style are unusually interesting and Olive Juice Music founder Major Matt Mason USA once said:
'I've never seen someone tear it up on ukulele the way [Trevor] does'.
In April 2009, Trevor released his debut album, Call Me Cliche, through his own Buttered Toast Records. Within one day of release it reached #71 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts.
Trevor has played ukulele live and on recordings with dozens local, indie, and national acts including Weezer, Livingston Taylor, Rachel Trachtenburg, Amory Sivertson, Toby Goodshank of the Moldy Peaches, and Flowvaltine.
For the past few years Trevor and his right hand man/bassist, Tom have focused immensely on writing, playing, and promoting by touring consistently and playing shows at many great venues up and down the east coast.
