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
five records and two full-length performance DVDs, 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, Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Kansas), Ronnie Montrose and
Bill Bruford (King Crimson), to name a few. 2009 saw the band on
tour with UFO and industry events such as Guitar Player Live and
Bass Player Live.
