IN OTHERS' WORDS:
"...a warm, intensely intimate kind of folk. Reichman writes songs of disarming simplicity. The directness of his lyrics and of his delivery can hit the listener with an unexpected force. The care, the humility and the quiet attention to building a home in the desert are also hallmarks of Reichman’s songs." - The Cenizo Journal
"A picture perfect snapshot of gothic country and Americana” - KAOS Radio - Austin, TX.
“A killer songwriter. A real one-of-a-kind, dark, funny, spot-on.” -Jonathan Byrd
"His songs are immediately hooky with a deceptive simplicity that sinks its claws into your brain, and then with fascinating layers of complexity that keep your brain engaged with the song over and over again. It reminds me of how I respond to M Ward's stuff." - Danny Schmidt
"With songs that capture the simplicity of the desert and the soft spoken observations of an old soul, Trevor has an ability to charm audiences of varied backgrounds" - Alexa Woodward
"Constantly beautiful and always honest. Having seen Trevor perform, I count myself among the lucky"-Sam Watts (Ghosts I've Met, Modest Mouse)
"With the social commentaries of Utah Phillips, the charm and wit of Mark Twain. and the resonating baritone voice of Johnny Cash, Trevor is a true blend of beautifully crafted melodies and thought provoking story telling." -J. Wagner
Trevor's music is a great landscape for the imagination. I first met him in Terlingua, he was unassuming,and very polite. This fellow has "it" whatever that is, you know, the thing you cannot quite put your finger on. Kinda like a sunrise, it's beautiful but you cannot describe it. Listening to his music, it's up-down, there's beauty and darkness and tongue in cheek humor. This guy is the real thing and I am glad to have him as a fellow artist and friend. Check him out, hire him for your festival, house concert, or venue, he will not disappoint. PROMISE, or my name is not Claude"Butch"Morgan.
CALENDAR:
In my own words...
I was born in South Africa, brought to America by my family when I was 5, did this and that, and now I am in the desert of Far West Texas, building an off grid studio with the help of an 83 year old geodesic dome builder. And playing lots of music.
This and that:
During my formative years as a musician and songwriter, I have been lucky to find myself planted in inspiring music communities such as South Africa, Austin Texas, Portland Oregon, and now Far West Texas. Each of these potent, but very different scenes have influenced my music in subtle and permanent ways, like a sonic tattoo.
After more than a dozen years of writing songs, as a passion more than a profession, I finally quit my dayjob a few years ago and set out on a musical path. A good one so far.
The past couple of years, I have been focusing on building an off-grid, solar powered music studio in the desert by Big Bend National Park in Far West Texas. There, I will begin committing a huge catalog of original works to tape and recording friends as well.
I have been fortunate to find venues with an audience who are interested in hearing new and original music and I am constantly seeking new avenues and new listeners. I plan to continue a lifetime of writing, recording, and performing the music I am passionate about, in a new era of opportunity for independent artists and listeners.
As of now, I do all my own production, booking, etc...but I could always use a hand and will offer the standard booking fee to anyone who books and promotes a show in their area.
Thanks for your interest. I hope to get the chance to share my music with you.
