"Singer/songwriter/guitarist Trevor Leonard creates an insulated world on his latest release, Widening where lifes struggles and losses are spoken about and the answers are shared to set the world free of misery. Leonard is a visionary in this way, and the Triangle Shirt Factory is his music project, which has become his vehicle to reach this goal." -- Absolutepunk.net
Triangle Shirt Factory is the folk, rock, reggae music of Trevor Leonard. The twenty-five year old singer/songwriter was born and nurtured in Bucks County Pennsylvania, a fading farmland suburb of Philadelphia. Leonard draws inspiration from his hometown and writes about preserving nature, discovering hope, creating community and opening up to new ways of thinking about progress.
Triangle Shirt Factory’s first full length effort, Widening, self-released on October 23, 2007, demonstrates mature songwriting with melodies comparable to Jimmy Eat World, the passionate groove of Sublime, and intellectual lyrics similar to the poetry of Simon and Garfunkel.
The concept of the record is to be open – open to change, beauty and signals that would otherwise be overlooked; to question progress on personal, political, and global levels; to develop a community of passionate thinkers. In the last year, Triangle Shirt Factory has toured the Northeast and Midwest several times and has opened for artists ranging from Roger Waters to Valencia.
Leonard celebrates nature and family, offers hope to desperate characters, and cultivates memories, questioning and the mind in an accessible narrative style. In addition to playing an array of instruments on Widening, Leonard produced the songs on the album and developed arrangements for family members and friends to add instrumentation.
The moniker Triangle Shirt Factory alludes to the historical Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York City that burned in 1911 and changed labor rights forever. Claiming the lives of more than one-hundred women, children and men laborers due to unsafe conditions, the tragedy was a catalyst which halted unfair treatments of workers and women. The music of Triangle Shirt Factory carries with it a call to action and Leonard’s message is clear: positive change is possible; we must act to prevent tragedy, not wait until it is too late.
Widening encourages listeners to open their minds to history and possibilities. Triangle Shirt Factory has been on the road non-stop, delivering energetic and thought-provoking performances with no signs of relenting. “I love to tour and share stories about my life with people at shows,” Leonard remarks, “and I love hearing their stories as well. Our stories are significant and inspiring. I live to be inspired and inspire others and that is why I play music.”

Hey Trev, Awesome job at big heads last week, wish I could have stayed for the whole thing. Im really liking the new version of hometown reward, phenomenal song!

We would love to have you on the show. Were trying to get as many band from the newtown area as possible and hope to make it like a festival type thing. Were still in the early stages of setting this up, but get back to me and let me know if youd be interested in being a part of this.
