SM Fall Tour 2011 [98 images] If you have any questions, just email us here.
SM TLB & LMG Tour 2011 [111 images] TLB and LMG get jiggy up and down the West Coast - yes, jiggy, I say. Nearly two weeks of jiggy, with one quick stop at a Presidential Library. Because we CAN.
SM Better Late Than Never Tour 2011 [72 images] The next tour in support of the recently released Soundmind CD was unlovingly referred to as the "BLTN" tour, mostly by Jennifer, and features the tour mascot "Bacon". From New York to Minnesota, to Ohio and then California, TLB rocks, reflects and remains ever-appreciative of the fine folks who come out for the hang.
SM Northwest Tour 2011 [102 images] The first tour in support of the new TLB record, Soundmind. We kicked things off with our favorite tour manager Stormer, lots of grand record release parties and a Celebration of Bacon. We went to the moon, the Golden Gate Bridge and met up with a Deathclocker in just the first few days! The 18 show tour had us riffing with Grammy winner Larry Mitchell, romping with Rikk Beatty and relaxing with old time friends. Thanks to all the Westerners who came out to the shows, it was darn-tootin-mighty-kind-a-ya.
NAMM - January 2011 [28 images] This year's NAMM show was evidently too busy for picture taking. But we did manage to get a few... most notably Jen's mug on a big poster, and some guy named Dave who kept bogarting practically every shot. Sheesh.
ROC LIVE Tour 2010, Southwest [99 images] Affectionately dubbed "The Dam Tour" join the band as we romp around in the Southwest, a first for TLB. From Vegas to Austin, our visits take us through lavish casinos with monkeys, Sam Ash in-stores, the Hoover Dam, incredibly long car rides through Texas, the San Antonio RiverWalk, hotel lobbies (fish included) and The Alamo. The Texas RockFest was such a sight to behold that no silly photo gallery could ever do it justice, so we didn't even really try.
NAMM - January 2010 [47 images] Not entirely a NAMM only gallery, we included our mini-tour with guitarist Carl Roa. This magic elf stole the hearts of adoring fans up and down the West Coast while the rest of us ate cake. The NAMM show: Doug Johns, Mr. Stork, snobby chocolates, Jen with the Daves (which one's Jen, which one's Dave?), Mr. Sterling Ball in a space suit - ya just don't see that every day. Food, friends, more Daves and just one heckuva good time.
ROC LIVE Tour 2009, UFO / TLB [224 images] Another gargantuan gallery, bigger than the last, we've confiscated all cameras until further notice. Let's see... here we are travelling, playing, travelling, playing. Oh, cheese and chocolate in Ohio, UFO, Doug Johns and The Car, C.L. Pugh gang (happy birthday Julie!), kitties and Mr. Ceja. Hey, do you know why there aren't any dinosaurs? 'Cause they're dead. Umm, yes, travelling, playing, travelling, King's Park looney bin, the magic of the elves, and ahhh, B.B. King's on 42nd with UFO. Sigh. Continuing... three hours of touristing in Philadelphia, more playing with UFO, big theaters and such, autograph signings, leaves turning and Ginger, the sweetest of the sweets. Moving right along...travelling, Bass Player Live, travelling, playing, playing, eating, playing, repeat, next verse, same as the first. If you have any questions give us a jingle...Our most humble thanks to: Kate, Martin, Tonio, Eric, Andre and of course UFO, Vinnie, Phil, Andy, Rob, and that other guy, hee,hee!
ROC LIVE Tour 2009 East/West Coast, Part I [207 images] Presenting the ROC LIVE 2009 tour gallery, East meets the West, and this is just Part I. So many pictures, so many memories, let's get started before I nod off. Minnesotan hospitality at it's finest with comfy gigs and digs, baseball and one big-ass mall. The EV/SamAsh weekend kicked things off as we happily headed east singing the praises of the best pairing since chocolate and peanut butter. In-stores, race cars, Randy Allar, Doug Johns and Chris Ceja - the three reasons Cleveland rocks. Oh and the fourth, the C.L. Pugh gang. Road-stops, freeway signs, creepy creeps with NY signs, and then the Lady herself. From every possible angle. Manhattan, pizza, Nathan's, Magic Elves and whoa... California. Ahhhh. Hertlein, Digitech and Luke. Three great tastes that taste great together? And bringing it all home... Doug and Chris in Cali. Super, duper Ahhhhhh. Told ya we'd do better this time.
T4/-2L5 Tour 2009 [56 images] Our 2009 Northwest Tour, the T4 Tour. Kicking off this pithy gallery with one measly shot of our DVD release pizza party (and a blurry one at that), clinics, giveaways, car show, Tom Thumb, snakes, oh my. In-stores, more giveaways, random stuff, fairies... I mean ferries, T4 (of course), hugs, friends, more random, KPSU and finally Bigfoot. We'll do better next time.
NAMM - January 2009 [80 images] The NAMM Show....enough said.
Fall 2008 / Electro-Vegas Tour [54 images] Officially wrapping up the fall season, TLB hit good ol' Bakersfield and Las Vegas one more time, 'cause we just can't get enough of that 8 hour drive. Thank you to EV, Sam Ash, the awesome fans and the City That Never Sleeps for again providing us with one helluva good time. See ya next year...
Fall 2008 / Hoppin' Over To Vegas Digi-Tour [82 images] Wrapping up this year's fall season with some truly fine memories, please share them with us: Monterey cops, hometown, San Diego's sword-swallowing opening act, and the Hoppin Over To Vegas Digi-Tour. Tommy Smothers, Zakk Wylde, Loni Specter, Krispy Kreme, Krispy Kreme, and more Krispy Kreme. Parking lots, Benihana, Ibanez factory tour, silly/sucky shredders, aliens and Sin City. Yep, that about covers it.
East Coast 2008 [217 images] Presenting the East Coast Gallery... a wicked-pissah weighing in at two-hundred and seventeen freaking images. Take yer time and ease on through this one.... Featuring shots from hell and back we've covered the gamut: airports, road signs, store signs, other signs, Digi-Trucks, Digi-Folks, Digi-Food, farm land, chocolate land, Rock-land, Cleve-land, BBQ's, restaurants, cop shots, little rocks, bunk beds and sleepy heads. But most of all, good times, good times... Thank you PM, T, Rikkles, DJ and Chris, Randy, Stormer and the Gang...
Summerfest 2008 [79 images] Summerfest, Summerfest, sum-sum Summerfest. Oh what a time was had by all. Dubbed "The Jewel of Summerfest" the Digi-Truck was a huge hit. TLB met some wonderful folks, played some rockin' and rainin' shows, and just had one helluva good time. Our thanks to Paul, Tristan and Rikk our most excellent Digi-hosts. Without those guys, Summerfest would have Summer-sucked. A what?
Travis Larson Band ... 10 Years and Counting [48 images] A new gallery briefly chronicling the years of banded-bliss that TLB has shared. We dug around in those old archives and found some truly old shite. Don't hold anything against us...
Winter 2007 / NAMM 2008 [74 images] We're "consolidating" here, for the sake of simplicity. A few shots of Travis at the Faultline Music Winter Recital smackin' the kids around a bit with his jedi chops, then TLB at the best-ever Christmas show with SIKO, smackin' those kids around a bit as well. Ah, yes, the winter NAMM show. Good clean fun this year, with moments captured from the Digi-booth performances, after-show parties, Doug Johns and Chris Ceja at Bass Bash, the booths, the guitars, the friends, the fun and the backside of Bill Murray. Continuing on we have Dale Moon at R.E.T., more Digitech performances, our beloved friends at Electro-Voice, more guitars, more booths, Carol Kaye, some hotel room jams, sad goodbyes and the huge white EV cabs coming to a show near you. Done.
Digi-Truck / Sam Ash Tour - November 2007 [73 images] We'll start it off with just a couple from the Central Coast Guitar Competition, where once again Travis was a part of deciding the fate of young and old shredders. Shown here with Doug Doppler and local faves Siko. Next up, the Southwest Digi-Tour. We kicked off the tour in Sin City with the Silly Seven of us having way too much fun to be called anything but silly. TLB, Dave Martone, Rikk Beatty and Digi-crue Paul and Tristan show off for the camera - probably not interesting for our Dear Viewer, but we really, really, really, really, really are enjoying... Hooker. We gotta go....
EV/Sam Ash Tour - 2007 [147 images] Oh boy, a hefty gallery weighing in at one-hundred-forty-seven images. You can do it... Documenting TLB's travels all the way from San Jose, CA to the Big Apple we've got it all. Plane rides, hotels, Sam Ash in-stores, gear, The Stormer, the Fusion Show's very own Randy Allar, more SA stores, Chimp Zombie's Ass-Gaskets, the Christmas Story House, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Wilbert's with Doug Johns, business centers, breakfasts, Manhattan's finest sights including Rupert G and the Hello Deli, more Sam Ash stores, Coney Island hot dogs, giveaways, Elves, more plane rides and more Doug Johns. Phew, out of breath...Enjoy dammit.
ROC Tour - Summer 2007 [53 images] Another slice of memory-pie from the last few months of TLB on the road. Here we have the Dale Moon clinic at Faultline Music, the amazing Tim and his home-grown version of the Frankenstein Guitar, our Equipment Handler Gino with his very own Frankenstein thingy, sand-sculpting phenom, the Berry wedding, "The Milk-Man" and Jason Nielsen, who by the way is the most freakin' awesome photographer EVER, check out his work and enjoy his shots from TLB at Lestat's. Lastly, TLB with HWM.
ROC/DIGI-TRUCK 2007 Northwest Tour [96 images] The DIGI-Gallery, featuring DIGI-pics of the DIGI-truck, DIGI-gigs, the DIGI-gang and whatever else sounds good with "DIGI" in front of it. Thanks to our DIGI-hosts Paul, Mark and Tristan for the good times. From San Jose to Seattle, other pics include the Mandolin Cafe, all of our dog friends and human friends, Northwest Guitars (the finest music store in the NW), the I-5 Blowout Extravaganza, KPSU Guitar Shop with Victrola, Millennium Music, the Moon Family Gathering and the final few days in the Bay Area. DIGI-rrific!
Dale Moon Clinic - March 2007 [45 images] This gallery features our very own Dale Moon's recent drum clinic at the Drum Circuit, San Luis Obispo, CA. With the room maxed out and a line out the door, store owners kept watch for the Fire Marshall while attendees studied and cheered our Moon Monster's master moves. Mmmmm....
ROC Tour - Winter 2007 [72 images] While yes, it is Winter Still, we thought we'd get the ball rolling with some tour shots from the last few shows. Pics include San Diego (where there's never a winter's day, except for the freakin' night we played there), Road Fun, our amazing bunch of friends in good ol' Sac town, Pleasanton and SB. Thanks to Paul H., Ed C., John V., Kirsten I., Mark K. for the excellent shots and for spreading the TLB love. A special thanks to Jason Nielsen for some of the most amazing photography - it ain't easy making this bunch look that good!
NAMM - January 2007 [103 images] The NAMM show. You've seen and heard it all before, but THIS year was exceptional. Four days of pure Rock 'n Roll mayhem that included non-stop booth fun with TLB, an unforgettable (by most, not Jen) House Of Blues show and some good hang-time. Pics include booth shots, show shots, our friends at EB/MusicMan, EV, Randall, Digitech, crew (without whom, by the way, this year's show would have SUCKED), gear, and LUPI. The best NAMM show yet.
ROC 2006 Northwest Tour and Stuff [120 images] Ahhh...the new Travis Larson Band record Rate Of Change has been out for a measley five weeks and already so much to tell...with pictures, of course. Please, vicariously enjoy as the TLB travels through the West, the Norhthwest, back West again, then home for the holidays. Shots include friends and fans, performances, one too many highway signs, dogs, the JPF Awards Ceremony, the Central Coast Guitar Competition, the MusicLab Guitar Clinic and whatever else wouldn't fit in the fridge.
Rate of Change Release Weekend [113 images] It was one helluva weekend as we celebrated the release of Rate Of Change with vigor, enthusiasm and Milanos. First off, the early morning radio show on KCSB with Phil Colaprete. Next, the guitar clinic at Faultline Music, and Ahhh, the CD release concert. Much fun was had by all as TLB tore down the joint. But really, what kind of a celebratory weekend would be complete without the opportunity to meet your biggest hero of all time??
Rate of Change Production [55 images] The official batch of production pictures from the upcoming release Rate Of Change, TLB's fourth studio record. We scrounged up what we could as picture-taking was not high on the priority list. Once again the silliness ensues during the album photo shoot while Jen risks spraining a thumb. Other stuffis includes getting the live gear up and running, mixdown, lots of crossed arms, headphones, thoughtful faces, smiling faces. And donuts.
BS Tour/NAMM - Winter 2006 [41 images] Well kiddies, the final gallery for the BS tours. Here you will find the usual silliness and gear shots from NAMM, including the new ElectroVoice cabs and MusicMan guitar Travis will be sportin' soon... more on that later. A few shots from the great Sac fans, Travis performing at the Faultline guitar clinic, Jen's b-day party at Hoovers and a bunch of other stuffis. Enjoy...
BS Tour - Fall 2005 [56 images] The fall 2005 gallery features some extra groovy shots of TLB in lovely San Diego, CA - thanks Louie! Also our thanks to the good Samaritan who spotted the softball-sized bubble in our tire somewhere on highway 101. Travis judges the 2005 Central Coast Guitar Competition, our boy Keith Perry wins 1st place! Shots of the Katrina Benefit concert, and TLB at the ultra-hip Thousand Oaks Borders, photos courtesy of Mark K.
BS Tour - Summer 2005 [45 images] Whoa, summer! So far, so good. These shots are NOT in chronological order, so too bad. Highlights: The carrot and satan trucks, July 4th houseparty, our Oregon/Washington tour, including some tourist shots of the Emerald City and Gig Harbor, Northwest Guitars - the COOLEST guitar shop- our buddy Greg and his babies Jesse and Bailey, our buds in Roseville, the Monterey Rock Festival, Jack London Square, The Ukiah Music Center, miscellaneous shots of Dale and... Jen on a Hog.
BS Tour - Spring 2005 [67 images] Yeeeesssss. This spring marks TLB's first-ever tattoo. Bill, YOU ROCK! And we have the pics to prove it... also the groovy Starship show, crew shots, lots of hair blowin' and the after-show meet & greet. Lestat's in SD -- an excellent venue, a couple studio shots from KCSB and a few from The Mercury Lounge -- yet another excellent venue.
BS Tour - Winter 2005 [66 images] This gallery has a ton of cool performance shots from the Tsunami Benefit Concert, TLB's first trip to the snow in Tahoe, including documentation of chain installation. Some random out-the-window stuff and a show at Pleasanton Brewery. Not necessarily in that order.
NAMM - January 2005 [40 images] Okay, this year's NAMM show was exceptional. First, some shots of the TLB/SMB/Dregs show at Ventura Theatre. TLB performs at the EV booth all four days, Timmons- our best buddy, the spacious hotel room (had a freaking dish-washer). More booth pics, LUPI, the Ernie Ball crew, and finally the Guitar World 25th anniversary show with BLS and TLB gettin' their silly on. Oh, and one hot tub pic. Tee-hee.
JPF Awards - November 2004 [13 images] The JPF Music Awards has grown to become the largest Music Awards program in the world and is becoming touted as the 'Independent Grammys'. For the 2004 Awards JPF received 140,000 songs and over 10,000 albums in 58 genres from 85 Countries. The sole criteria for judges is "Does it move you?" Well, the proof is in the pics, that TLB MOVED 'em with sweep of the Instrumental Rock category.
BS Tour - Fall 2004 [48 images] Some cool shots of the Burn Season CD release concert in September of 2004, along with our raffle winners and the aftershow meet and greet. Thank you to Bill for the shots of a few Borders shows... Our camera seemed to have gotten left at home for most of the fall tours...
Burn Season Production [45 images] Welcome again to Avalon Recording Studio. Some silliness ensues as we work tirelessly on the new ProTools rig. We included some unused, but-in-the-running shots for the album art, shots of Trav and Luke at the Steakhouse Studio in Hollywood, Kip Stork our knucklehead engineer who ALWAYS seems to close his eyes in pics, and miscellaneous drum mic configurations.
Shows [106 images] The SHOWS gallery is a collection of different shows throughout the years, that frankly we just didn't want to organize because we'd be better off spending that time writing music for our lovely, wonderful, most understanding fans. However, some highlights include CD releases, Jeff Berlin, Elvin Bishop, Drum Expo, Ted Nugent, Trey Gunn, Musician's Institute, Gary Hoey, Bill Bruford, Adrian Legg
1998 Recording Travis Larson Band S/T [14 image] Ahhh, the first record. Those were the days... when we didn't have such a thing as COLOR film. And what the hickey is FILM? Only a few pictures from these sessions at Avalon Recording Studio.
Travis Larson Band - Promo Shots [5 images] Promo pics from the different albums and such...
Backstage [25 images] The BACKSTAGE gallery is self-explanatory, don't you think? But here's the rundown anyhow: Geddy Lee, Danny Gottlieb, Vinnie Moore, Blues Saraceno, Phil Chen, Sterling Ball, Steve Lukather, Albert Lee, Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Jeff Campitelli, Joan Jett, Victor Wooten, Simon Phillips, Ted Nugent, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Rod Morgenstein, Steve Morse. We've seen some very cool shows.
Stuff [55 images] This gallery is sort of a placeholder for stuff we couldn't seem to fit anywhere else. Where do you put the Fabio and Carradine shots? Also some old NAMM stuff, fans, dogs, friends, relatives, roadies, The Boy and other stuffis. Highlights include the kick drum head we used for a window when the van was vandalized in OAKLAND and Dale posing in the legendary Sabian Cymbal Vault.
