Southern Reign

Originally from Mississippi County, Arkansas, Trevor has been playing guitar since age 7.  He was influenced by a wide range of artists from Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Son House to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Ed King and many others.  Growing up in the South, country music played an important part in forming Trevor's playing style.  These influences can be heard in his songwriting on Southern Reign's new CD of original songs, "The Show."

While living in Oklahoma, Mell learned bass at age 21 and pursued his passion for music by joining several local bands.  He moved to California in 1978 where he continued to write, play and produce solo projects.  His love of southern rock led him to Southern Reign and his collaboration with Trevor Edwards.  Mell enjoys writing and recording original music and carrying the torch for southern rock.

David O'Conner grew up in Alabama in the shadow of Muscle Shoals Sound recording studio.  He can’t remember a time when he wasn’t playing music.  After spending some time in Nashville, he has settled in Southern California, but he still has southern rock and blues running through his veins.  From Skynyrd to the Allman Brothers to Stevie Ray Vaughan, if there is a rocking beat and a screaming Hammond organ, you can’t wipe the smile off his face.
