Travis grew up in southern Illinois amidst farms and small town life in the heartland.

He writes songs from the heart, relaying thoughts and emotions that are personal yet universal. First influenced by country greats such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, his musical style and tastes have evolved over the years, but the roots of Americana remain deep in his writing and performing. He performs as a solo and duo artist as well as the frontman for his band Milwaukee Mule. After getting his musical start in Milwaukee, Travis has recently taken his talents to Memphis, TN.
