Biography | ||
"The soulful fury of this talented three-piece, the Travis Larson Band, washes the stink of the recording industry’s lame offerings out into the gutters while unleashing it’s unique brand of instrumental rock fusion (think of a musical stew mixing a thick brown Rush gravy with big hearty chunks of Steve Morse and a dash of Jeff Beck).” With four records and a full-length performance DVD, the award winning Travis Larson Band is firmly rooted as one of instrumental music’s premiere acts, having worked on record with Steve Lukather (Toto), Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), Vinx (Sting, Herbie Hancock), Hugh Syme (Rush, Aerosmith) and having shared live billing with Ted Nugent, Los Lobos, Elvin Bishop, Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Kansas), and Bill Bruford (King Crimson), to name a few. Comprised of Travis Larson (guitar), Jennifer Young (bass), and Dale Moon (drums), TLB’s complicated phrasing, impossible timing, and seamless flow cause some to suspect that the band must surely operate from only one, albeit enormous, brain. Aided by endorsement relationships with Ernie Ball/MusicMan, Electro-Voice, Digitech, Randall, Ampeg, Gretsch, and Sabian this tiny band with the big sound has found its way into the festivals, theaters, clubs and music stores across the nation, not to mention the traveling 53-foot tractor-trailer truck tours and music industry events. Well known for their live performances the Travis Larson Band delivers full throttle rock fusion that soars with originality and mercilessly hooks an audience like a freshly sharpened gaff through the unsuspecting brain of an Arctic Cod. What ever the Travis Larson Band may lack in predictable synthetic beats and squeaky prepubescent voices, they more than make up for in ass-whoopin’, soul-boosting, brain-bursting guitar music and good ol’ fashioned talent.
