Spirited, deep, and thought provoking are just a few words to describe the artist known as Trevor Green. His music is a something fresh and distinctly new, yet is deeply woven in the spiritual fabric of our ancient ancestors. Surrounded by 5 guitars, 3 didgeridoos, percussion instruments and decorated of symbolic ancestral nature, Green's stage appears to be a musical playground not for the faint of heart. As a powerful advocate of Native American voice, he was adopted into a Navajo family and will often be graced by the power of Native American grass dancers, who occasionally will take to the stage creating a mystical and captivating experience. "I follow the music where it leads me. Through this process I find the music always comes from an honest place and that is most important in receiving the songs when they come through." What deepens the music is Trevor's ability to connect with his audience. Threading together sing-able and uplifting melodies, dynamic instrumentation, heart pounding rhythms, and the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo, with his spontaneous improvisational ability, Green's performance is a one man powerhouse with universal appeal that seems to come from the ground up. With his honest delivery and ability to extricate the music from a deep place of truth, he leads his audience through vast landscapes of sound, weaving together a magnetic and spellbinding performance. Through Green's devotion to bring forward the messages of our ancestors and connect deeply with culture, he recently launched a successful crowdfunding campaign that sent him, his wife, two young children and the son of his adopted Navajo brother on a two month journey into the heart of Australia to discover the roots of the aboriginal culture and the story behind the didgeridoo (yidaki), which has been such a fundamental part of the sound scape behind his music. Performing 25 shows across the region and meeting with various wisdom keepers from the indigenous aboriginal cultures, this would prove to be yet another life altering journey of deep magnitude. In seeking a deeper understanding and connection to didgeridoo, he was lead to a far deeper connection with the aboriginal community of Northeast Arnhem Land where he and family were adopted into the Galpu clan. Given the name “North Wind” by elder Djalu Gurruwwiwi, he brings the blessing back to North America where he offers his fifth studio album, the 'Voice of the Wind'.

Southern California punk rock established ~2003 with same members since that time. >250 shows together across 5 states, including support for artists such as Strung Out, Reel Big Fish, Propagandhi, Unwritten Law, Guttermouth, Authority Zero, Andrew WK and more. In it for the art; always looking for more chances to do what we love.

At the age of 14, recieving an electric guitar for Christmas, changed the lifestyle of a young Jon Goodhue forever. Jon first performed in a live setting at an open mic in his hometown of Gloucester, Massachusetts when he was 17 in 2001. Just him and his guitar, and performing only a few songs, his small crowd knew his potential. For the next few years, Jon would continue to strengthen on the guitar, but what became the weapon was his vocals. “I never expected to be a singer, I had always just wanted to the learn the guitar, and run around on stage like Angus Young.” In 2005, Jon formed the band Beyond The Grey. With BTG, Jon was able find his niche writing and performing new songs. The band was playing several venues across New England, filling up venues in Jon’s hometown. “We’d play for three hours a show, both our originals and a bunch of covers. It was good because we were writing material we wanted people to hear, and we also learned a crazy amount of cover songs that helped us out on our instruments, and some songs really worked my vocals.” When Beyond The Grey broke up in 2007, Jon pursued a solo project, and spent hours in his own built studio. He compiled songs he wrote over the past few years and released his debut solo album “Release Me” in 2008. Songs off the album quickly rose to liking, from the bass groove in ‘Sunlight Hits Your Eyes’, to the epicness of ‘Evergreen’. Songs appeared on independent films, and recieved much online praise. Only one month after releasing this disc, Jon moved to Southern California to continue pursuing music. He brought ‘Release Me’ with him and formed The Jon Goodhue Band in San Diego, performing songs off his debut album at venues such as The Whisky A Go-Go and The Roxy in Hollywood. In early 2011, Jon released a second album, “FLUX”. With more heavier guitar riffs, and ranging vocals, “FLUX” was a showcase of years of strengthening musically, and melodical maturity. In late 2011, with the help of manager and close family member, Marc Devoe, Jon’s music reached the ears of Gorilla Biscuits owner, and bassist of P.O.D., Traa Daniels. Daniels, seeing potential in Goodhue, recorded, produced, and performed on Jon’s EP, “All In” which was released in June 2012. “All In” can be purchased at live shows and be purchased online on all online retailers.

I am a singer and guitarist that loves to play for people and for them to have a great time. The music I play is nice background music for dinners or events where live music would be the icing on the cake for a great event! I've been playing for 15 years and I enjoy playing a variety of music from songs popular today to timeless classics.
