Miki P & The Swallowtails W/ Trevor Turla

Kansas City-based musician Trevor Turla believes that creativity is a catalyst for change.

Resemblant of his multi-cultural heritage as a Filipino-American, Trevor is inspired by an amalgamation of American music, from jazz to rock and beyond. Weaving the textured sounds of his trombone and soulful voice with sincere storytelling, Trevor is quickly becoming a force on the American music scene with a dazzling yet authentic stage presence. His latest EP, And We Continue, was hailed in The Pitch for evoking an “array of sentiments, from poignant and introspective moments to growling, thundering, and funky.”

The Swallowtails are an acoustic band inspired by the evolution of the butterfly: always reinventing itself and ever-growing. Coming from a wide array of musical backgrounds, they incorporate influences of rock, pop, folk, classical, and jazz in their songs. Listeners have described their sound as “a warm hug” and an “experience where worlds collide.” Formed in Kansas City, MO in 2018, the trio is made up of Miki P on guitar/vocals, Adee Dancy on cello/vocals, and Rachel Lovelace on bassoon/vocals. In search of beautiful melodies, the Swallowtails are artists committed to creating music that combines a range of emotions through grounded songwriting, sealed together with their unique instrumentation.
