History
“After his undergraduate studies, Trevor continued to graduate school at Appalachian State for a master’s degree in Appalachian Studies. Trevor’s interests in history and music continued combining as he wrote his thesis on Otto Wood, a famed bandit from Wilkes County whose story has been recorded in history through several songs and stories. “Herb Key was a big help when I was researching Otto Wood,” Trevor says. “We both have files full of information about Otto.” In addition to Herb Key and the Elkville String Band members, Trevor also developed a close relationship with Lonnie Ward, a Watauga County native and bearer of traditional music from the area. Trevor accompanied Lonnie on many musical outings and performances and considers him an important mentor. On fiddle, Trevor cites West Virginia’s celebrated traditional musician Jimmy Costa as a major influence. Trevor has a rich and diverse repertoire of traditional tunes and songs from American roots genres. He also released a recording of original songs in 2016. [...] Trevor works in the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection in Belk Library at Appalachian State University. He is available for performances with Elkville String Band, as a solo artist, and with other string band configurations.” https://www.blueridgeheritage.com/artist/trevor-mckenzie/
