Travis McKeveny

Travis McKeveny grew up in an decidedly musical household in Blue Point, Long Island with a father who was a professional guitarist/singer-songwriter. The sounds of artists such as Van Morrison, Jackson Browne, and John Gorka were omnipresent. He had always toyed with the idea of tunesmithing, and began to do so in earnest roughly two and a half years ago.

His literate and carefully wrought songs balance storytelling with poetry, in the words of vaunted upstate New York folksinger Fred Gillen, Jr., placing him in the tradition of the great ballad singers. He has opened for such nationally touring acts as Bobby Bare, Jr.;  Todd Sheaffer, of Railroad Earth Fame; and Chuck Prophet, formerly of Green on Red.
