Trevor Knight was elected to Aosdána, Ireland’s state-sponsored academy of creative artists, in 2007.

Jan 30th 2024 saw Knight launch a highly anticipated double album "Golden Arrows of the Moon" with his fascinating ongoing project, ‘The Devil’s Spine Band.” It leans heavily into the genre of ‘Dark Cabaret’ (previously explored with “The Whistling Girl” with Honor Heffernan).

Travel on a unique, uplifting, musical journey with some of Ireland’s finest musicians. Much of the music was co-written with Ireland’s finest living blues guitarist Ed Deane (Skid Row. Frankie Miller Band, Dana Gillespie) who has featured in all incarnations of the Devil’s Spine Band.

The Devil’s Spine Band takes its’ lead from Oscar Wilde’s 1882 trip to Leadville Colorado,  exploring all things ‘Cowboy’ and ‘Wilde-West’ in an Americana explosion heavily tinged with Knight’s unique innovative flair. The Music features settings of a number of Wilde’s poems together with original lyrics - It’s edgy stuff; improvisational, ambient Americana rock.

The band:

Honor Heffernan (Vocals), Ed Deane (Guitar), Garvan Gallagher (Bass), Dominic Mullan (Drums) and Trevor Knight (Keyboards & vocals).
