Profile
From a boy on his daddy’s farm to a Christian singer/songwriter, Trevor shares his love for God through his down-to earth “new country” sound and inspiring lyrics. Stressing that his ministry is non-denominational, and not limited to Christian venues only, he also plays at fairs, festivals, schools and prisons. Many who would never darken a church door identify with Trevor’s music and lyrics. His soft voice and gentle manner complement his message of hope and encouragement.
Trevor has done well over 1,400 concerts in his 11 years of full time ministry. Previously to that there were several years of part time ministry; which included singing on street corners. God; in His own unique way, has placed Trevor on many stages.
Feeling undeserving of such opportunities he has shared his message with many people of influence; including the Prime Minister of Canada.
Trevor has also sang in the United States at David Wilkerson's Times Square Church in New York City twice.
After picking up the guitar in 1990, Trevor went on to release 12 albums and 2 DVD’s; which have received airplay in Canada, and some in the United States and Europe. He has written and recorded over 125 songs to date.
With much of the present Church age running after every wind and wave of doctrine, most of the songs that God has given him are calling the Church back to repentance. Although he has won awards he finds that many times they only get in the way of the message “There are many things in life that are uncertain”, he states. “I grew up thinking that God was one of them.” Trevor admits openly that he was searching for some meaning in life. He didn’t like the angry young man that he was and felt that his life had no direction. During this time of crisis, Trevor says that he met a ‘genuine, simple kinda’ preacher” in a little church who introduced him to Jesus Christ; the only One that could give him peace and direction.
Presently living in Tuxford Saskatchewan with his wife Jennifer, Trevor takes time to reflect. “I now know that true happiness comes from knowing God and trusting in His plan for my life and family. I intend to sing songs for Him and Him alone; that I might bring the message of the Gospel to so many who are searching for Truth and stability in this old world.”
Music Review Trevor Baker - The Lonely Road
Reviewed Mar. 28th, 2009
Review By Becky Hunter – Dynamite Christian Country – Marshfield, WI
Trevor Baker delivers another signature sounding project with his self-written album “The Lonely Road.”
The hard - hitting lyrics of North American Christian really summarizes what Christianity has become in this day and age. This song is sure to make the listener evaluate his or her own walk with Christ. The song “The Prophets/Profits Are Up” warns against false Prophets, and “That’s Your wife” is a humorous look at the Song Of Solomon.
“Look What You’ve Done,” the last track on the CD has a heart felt autobiographic sound to the lyrics.
This project from Saskatchewan based artist Trevor Baker is worth checking out by Christian Country and Gospel Country fans alike, and is sure to be appreciated by those drawn to the work of singer /songwriters.
