I’ve toured with artists like Katharine McPhee & Andrew McMahon in The Wilderness (Jack's Mannequin, Something Corporate). You've heard my work on MTV Super Shore, The 2019 Warner Bros Film Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, and in commercials for brands like Pedigree & Remington. I was the houseband guitarist on the CW TV show "Oh Sit".
I am a producer and a session guitarist specializing in Country and Americana but familiar with almost any style from over a decade of working in LA. I've mixed for TV shows include Judd Appatow's Love on Netflix. I love meeting up and coming artists and making new music. I'd love to collaborate and help you make your project great. I am always trying to get better at what I do and always trying to be creative!

check_circleVerifiedGreat guy, easy to work with, Travis won't stop working until you have the sound you are looking for!
Awesome teacher! Skilled, creative and patient! Highly recommended!!!
Travis is a great producer to work with! He was full of ideas about how to make my acoustic melody + lyrics the best it could be. We ended up with a song that had escalation and differences between each of the verses/choruses/bridge to keep the listener engaged - all thanks to Travis's insightful vocal direction and vision for the instrumentation. I would highly recommend bringing your songs to him to get professional-level recordings!
Travis is an amazing producer and artist to work with. He helped bring to life my simple four chord song and turn it into a compelling track with so many textures. He made the whole process seamless and was game for any idea I had even if it at first seemed a bit out of reach. I was above and beyond impressed with the way it turned out and even more so with how effortless and professional an environment he provided. He really had the vision, insight and talent to bring forth your best work. If you need any assistance I definitely recommend working with Travis!
I am one half of production duo The PsyClones.Travis has been a great session guitarist and collaborater! We can always expect great recording quality.. guitars always sound amazing! Easy to work with and just overall talented musician and great person. Highly recommend!
I had a blast working with Travis! He produced an awesome four song EP for me. He has a real talent for hearing just how far you can take a song, and he squeezed every bit of potential out of mine. He nailed the feel I was going for and delivered under a tight deadline. The process was a pleasure, very highly recommended!
