With two decades of experience as a seasoned composer and songwriter, Trenton McKean showcases his musical prowess through performances on the acoustic guitar, marked by strong artistic vocals that carry a hint of musical theatre. 

McKean had the opportunity to work as the “performer” throughout Joel Petrie’s vision of Romeo & Juliet (2017) which transposes Shakespearean dialect into music. His street performer chorus is such an inspired masterstroke I am surprised it hadn’t been captured on film before.

McKean’s band Son of Ian was nominated to play at the 2013 Grammys titled “Gig of a Lifetime.” The band took third place out of 150 bands in the American Mountain Grammy competition.  Their new album “Overcome” won the Best Alternative Rock album at The Akademia Music Awards in 2016. 

McKean has shared the stage with Andy Grammer, Caroline Spine, Terence Hansen, Telluride Meltdown, Sturgeon General, and many more. In addition, they have performed at the Deer Valley Concert Series, the Depot, the Utah Arts Festival,  Children's Service Society, Utah’s Governor Convention performing for 34 of the nation’s governors at the 2010, Tedx 2.0 “Afterglow”, Utah’s Cancer Society Luminaria, FOX13, KUTV, ABC4, and many other great organizations.
