Meet Trent Strake

Hailing from Kalamazoo, Michigan—the historic birthplace of iconic American electric guitars—Trent Strake brings an unmistakable, high-voltage pedigree to the stage as the lead guitarist for American Headtrip.

Rooted in the grit and swagger of 1970s and 1980s hard rock, Trent's playing is a masterclass in tone, melody, and driving rhythm. Heavily inspired by the signature phrasing and dynamic attack of legends like Slash and Billy Duffy, he weaves massive, stadium-sized hooks with a razor-sharp, timeless edge.

Armed with his trusty Gibson Les Paul Standard—the ultimate weapon born from his Michigan roots—Trent delivers the rich, roaring sustain and bone-crushing crunch that defines the unmistakable wall-of-sound for American Headtrip. Whether he's laying down hypnotic rhythm tracks or soaring through a blistering lead, Trent keeps the authentic spirit of classic hard rock alive and burning at full volume.
