Pacific Curls: Put Your Finger on the Pulse of a Global Sound

Experiencing a Pacific Curls performance has been described as putting your finger on the pulse of a global sound.

This talented trio has an impressive repertoire featuring the ukulele, cajon (percussion instrument), various other percussive instruments, fiddle, Taonga pūoro (traditional instruments of the Māori people), guitar, stomp box, and kalimba.

With vocals in English, Te Reo Māori (Māori language), and Rotuman (indigenous language of a South Pacific island group), lifted up by backbeat Pacific rhythms, vivacious fiddle playing and evocative Māori instrumentation, Pacific Curls have pioneered a fusion sound that seamlessly blends their indigenous roots.

While their music defies classification, the joy it evokes is universally understood.

He collaborated on the redesign of an instrument called the kalimba so that it could be mounted on his guitar.

With this unique pairing of instruments, and compositions ranging in style from driving rhythms to soft melodic phrases, he has caught the attention of some pretty impressive people.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Graham Nash, says Trevor’s music is both soothing and challenging.

Two of his albums were produced by 9-time Grammy winning producer Joe Nicolo of James Taylor, Billy Joel, and Bob Dylan fame.

And, his music has been featured on various radio stations and television networks.
