The achievements of rock ‘n’ roll heavyweights The Trews are many and mighty, highlighted by multiple
radio hits drawn from seven critically acclaimed studio albums plus several EPs, a pair of live records,
and a retrospective. Among the most prolific, electrifying, and innovative bands on the planet, The
Trews — singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek,
drummer Chris Gormley, and keyboardist Jeff Heisholt — have shared stages with everyone from the
Rolling Stones to Weezer, Bruce Springsteen to Rich Robinson, the latter collaboration culminating in
three blazing tracks on the band’s latest, The Wanderer, cut in Nashville with the onetime Black Crowes
guitarist. Amid the global pandemic, which halted both the Nashville sessions and tour plans for 2018’s
epic Civilianaires album, The Trews completed The Wanderer at home in Canada with producers Derek
Hoffman and Eric Ratz, emerging with their fiercest and most accomplished set of songs to date, and a
heck of backstory to boot.
