THE TRUE TREVOR McSHANE STORY

Trevor McShane has become somewhat of a legend in Southern California. Finally, this is the true story of Trevor who was created in 2000 as the nom de plume of Neville Johnson upon the release of his debut album, First Love, Last Love. Neville had then and does now have a very successful law practice and did not “want my lawyer status affected by my musical endeavors, plus I wanted the music to be taken on its own.” Meet Trevor McShane. T4Re: the name, Trevor’s forefathers came from Ireland and their name was McShane, which they changed to Johnson when they were in Boston because of prejudice against the Irish. (Mc” is “son” and “Shane” is “John in Gaelic.)

This is how Neville became a professional musician and ultimately Trevor McShane …

“I have loved music since I first heard it glued to the radio as a boy. I loved rock and roll and still do. I wanted to take piano lessons as a kid, but Mom and Dad said no, being a musician was something to which I should not aspire as it was too difficult a profession economically. So I collected records and remained a big fan of popular music. But when I was 18, a friend taught me a few chords and a couple of years later I finally bought a guitar .
