Trevor Tchir (pronounced cheer) released his fourth album, Sky Locked Land in 2009. Many of Edmonton’s finest musicians are featured on the album, including his brother, Stephen Tchir, Lane Arndt, Jordan Faulds, and Shannon Johnson. It also features long-time friends and collaborators Pierre Chrétien, of Ottawa’s Soul Jazz Orchestra, on organ, and Peter Webb, helping with harmonies. Other contributors include Bramwell Park, Volya Baziuk, Allyson Rogers, Steve Badach, Mickey Vallee, Kristy McKay, and Al Bragg. Sky Locked Land was recorded by Terry Tran at Riverdale Recorders, Edmonton.
Tchir unites the sounds and images of Canada’s rural and urban spaces. Over the past twelve years, he has played his original songs to audiences across the country. His music tells stories of the people who work and love in its pulsing cities and austere hinterlands. In reviewer Mary Christa O’Keefe’s words, "Tchir's lyrics are populated with characters who are both universal and intimate…In Tchir's hands place, time and relationships become characters, too, with their own agendas and idiosyncrasies...His allegiance is to the time-honoured art of evoking emotion through storytelling."
UPCOMING SHOW - Trevor Tchir’s book launch @ the Artery. Saturday, January 7th at 8pm.
*We featured Trevor's song The Sweeter Air.
