September 26, 2017Trent was amazing and very accommodating. I had him play a song for my fiance and I while I proposed and he was unbelievable. Thank you so much Trent!

July 23, 2015We had Trent for my mom's 70th birthday celebration and it was a total consensus that he was amazing! On first impression he was easy-going, personable and very friendly. When he began playing he immediately set the tone with some of my mom's favorites and made it clear that he was totally open to requests. We had so much fun shouting out random songs and he happened to know every single one of them! It was pretty amazing. His voice is so so good and he has a very non-threatening demeanor that makes you want to sing and dance along. And you can't argue that his looks and style are pretty darn cute...the girls in your crowd will definitely be impressed! Thanks so much, Trent for making our night just that much more special and fun!

April 20, 2015Trent was a great addition to our party. We wanted live music on our patio for our guests who were touring our newly renovated property. Trent put on a great performance and made the ambiance exactly what we wanted. He is such a talented musician and I recommend him for all of your private party needs.

January 28, 2015Trent is so talented. He turned a graduation dinner into a graduation celebration. He knew what type of music we wanted and then totally delivered.

February 1, 2014The biggest question of the night was "where did you find this guy!". All of the guests loved Trent, commenting about his great voice and the range of music he plays. He even had the crowd singing along during several songs and capped off the night with Bohemian Rhapsody! His song list is great, he was on time (actually early) and he only took one break in 3.5 hours. One of the guests liked him so well he wanted to pay him to stay longer. Obviously we would hire Trent again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

It’s not uncommon for indie artists to cite The Beatles as primary musical influences--but singer/songwriter Trent Hancock, currently breaking nationally with his solo debut EP Ghostbird, weaves the Fab Four into his back story in several unique ways. Though hailing from thAe west coast, Hancock’s other inspiration for the Ghostbird EP comes from relocating to the raw streets of Brooklyn. The singer was so impressed and inspired from touring in New York City last year that he took the plunge and embarked on a cross-country drive. Hancock began immersing himself into the city’s open mic showcase scene, and on one particular night, he included the dark-themed Beatles’ tune “Happiness Is A Warm Gun” into his acoustic set – only to realize that, unlike in San Diego where everyone wants to hear cover bands, NYC crowds frown on the practice. The crowd’s desire to hear original material inspired Hancock to develop some new songs with a mainstream pop/rock sound, which he would eventually release on the new Ghostbird EP.
Hancock’s love for the Beatles, NYC, and his new material would served him well a few months later after moving to Brooklyn, when he impressed Los Angeles’ producers Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Five For Fighting and OneRepublic) and his partner Andrew Williams (Hope, Angel Taylor, Colbie Caillat and Five For Fighting) with his new music vision. The two producers immediately asked Hancock to fly L.A. to work the singer’s new project. He was excited for the opportunity to work with Williams and Blue, who helmed Colbie Caillait’s double platinum debut Coco.
Hancock has come a long way from his post college days in cover bands in San Diego and his once successful electronic rock duo (also called Ghostbird), along with drummer Mike Cooper. Though Hancock is now turned on to another musical genres and is taking on the solo career by storm, the duo’s name lives on as the title of his current EP. His new EP also secured Hancock to tour in July and August across the U.S. with renowned acoustic soul singer/songwriters Ernie Halter and Tony Lucca, and recently picked up endorsements by Gibson Guitars and Sennheiser USA.
For gigs within driving distance from Scottsdale, I will provide all necessary equipment (PA, mic stand, cables, etc). For gigs outside of the area I will need:
