An upcoming singer-songwriter, I first met Trent earlier this year in NYC at a Jimmy Gnecco show. A friend of mine heard him singing along behind her and introduced me to him, and he in turn introduced me to his music. Unable to catch some of his shows in New York over the course of the last 6 or so months, I was excited when I found out he was playing at Harper's Ferry in Allston, opening for Jason Reeves and Brandon James. I'd been listening to his CD that he had given me back in February and I'd also been listening to his solo EP that released over the summer - but I was absolutely impressed with him live.
He opened with
Me and You, a catchy track off the new EP, which is one of my favorites, and also played
Caroline (from the old EP and which was a bit of a surprise),
Sunflower (a song he wrote for his brother's wedding that is beautiful),
Strong Hands (a song that's about being in a bad relationship and when you actually listen to the words is really touching),
Forgiveness (a Patty Griffin cover), and one other song that is escaping me at the moment.
