Travis Vick is an 18 year old singer/songwriter currently living in No. CA. He has been studying piano since he was ten, playing guitar and writing songs since the age of thirteen and singing for as long as he can remember. Travis developed his imagination early, and was greatly influenced by many artists such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Sufjan Stevens, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett and Elliott Smith to name a few.

Travis sang and played keyboard and guitar featuring much of his original material in the Central Valley-based band, Fairway. Fairway was nominated for a MAMA (Modesto Area Music Association) award in 2006 & 2007 in the Indie Band category. In October 2008, Travis won the MAMA Award for his solo music project.

Travis' solo EP debut "Player Piano" is a heavy dose of wandering poetics. His warm voice and heartfelt delivery lend to his often dark and personal songs a sense of essence and peculiarity, gained in some measure from his early influences.

Recorded in Sacramento by Craig Long of Paradise Studios, Travis plays all instruments on "I'll be Dead" and "Ripon Song". On "The Hedges" Travis' sister Taylor lends her stirring vocals to complete the impressive harmonies.

Travis recently returned from a two week solo acoustic tour through Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah and is now heading back into the studio to record a new CD to be released January 2009.
