Details:
Born in Ontario, Oregon, and reared and educated in various towns around the state of Idaho, Travis graduated from Weiser High School in Weiser, Idaho, in 1965. He majored in drama at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. In 1967, he dropped out of college and left Idaho to experience "the summer of love" in San Francisco. Soon after his high school guitar-playing hobby became a full-time passion and source of income. He played street corners and in coffee houses and bars all over San Francisco.
In the late 1960s, he hitchhiked around the state of California playing and singing in any establishment that would have him. Later he started hitchhiking back and forth from the West Coast to the East Coast performing wherever he could. Woody Guthrie and "Ramblin'' " Jack Elliot have always been his heroes and he has tried to emulate their examples in his own life. In 1972, a bartender at a ski lodge in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California hung the handle of "Travelin'' Travis" on him and the name has become his moniker.
His musical years have taken him from Idaho to California, Hawaii, Texas, Florida, Colorado, New York, Canada and many places in between. He performed for four years on the deck of the schooner "Appledore" in Key West, Florida, as a "boat singer" for the nightly "Sunset Sails". He returned to California and for the next four years was a cable-car musician and entertainer for the tourists wating to board the "Fisherman''s Wharf" cable cars. Since then, he has been performing at bars, coffee houses and restuarants in Oregon, Northern California, Los Angeles, Key West - and, now, in Boise, Idaho.
