Trevor Veitch (born May 19, 1946 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian musician/record producer who has worked behind the scenes on many pop trends from the 1960s to present. He is mostly known for his involvement in the popular 1960s folk rock group 3's a Crowd. He resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Evan, and their son.[1]
In the 1960s, Veitch gained fame as a part of popular folk and rock group, 3's a Crowd. Veitch, who was singer Donna Warner's guitarist and accompanist, joined with Brent Titcomb to become the Bill Schwartz Quartet (a promotional name for only three musicians).[2] Later, the Bill Schwartz Quartet recruited more members, including Ken Koblun, David Wiffen, and Richard Patterson, and changed its name to 3's a Crowd.[3] 3's a Crowd is credited for helping expand the role of jazz and eastern music in the folk rock genre. The band broke up in 1968; Veitch's reasons were to pursue other projects.
Veitch befriended Tom Rush in the 1970s and contributed his talent to several of Rush's albums.
In 1981, Veitch and fellow producer Greg Mathieson produced singer Toni Basil's giant hit, "Mickey" and her LP, Word of Mouth.[4] He also produced Patty Brard's "Red Light" in 1986.[5]
In 1987, Veitch took his talents overseas by working both production and music for the Japanese television series a·ki·re·ta–DEKA. He produced 4 songs for the soundtrack.
