TREVOR BYSTROM | EPK
Trevor Bystrom is a Florida-based singer-songwriter, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist whose music blends soulful songwriting with roots, blues, reggae, latin, and global influences.
Raised on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Trevor began writing songs and performing live at 16. Over the past decade, he has built a life around music, performing thousands of shows and hundreds of festivals while developing a sound shaped by Florida’s coastal culture and a lifelong fascination with music from around the world.
At the heart of Trevor’s music are honest songs, rhythmic guitar, soulful vocals, and a willingness to let each performance become its own experience. His work moves comfortably between intimate singer-songwriter moments and expansive, groove-driven performances.
Trevor’s musical world includes his solo project, the Trevor Bystrom Trio, the father-daughter duo Bystrom & Bear, and his full live world-groove ensemble Rooster Xing. He has also collaborated internationally, including Mawanga & Bystrom, a project connecting American and Malawian musicians through rhythm, songwriting, and shared musical traditions.
His latest solo album, Slideshow, marks a return to the intimacy of the singer-songwriter, centered around the warm, resonant sound of the Hawaiian Weissenborn. The album reflects Trevor’s continued evolution as a songwriter while carrying forward the adventurous spirit of his live music.
