I’ve toured with Katharine McPhee & Andrew McMahon in The Wilderness. I was the guitarist in the houseband of the CW show 'Oh Sit!' which had about a million viewers per episode. We performed with artists like Sean Kingston. You've heard me on national commercials including Pedigree. I've collaborated w artists like Roscoe Dash, and Sammy Adams.
I am a producer and a session guitarist specializing in Indy and Country.
I've been in the road and studio the past decade in every genre you can imagine.
I love working with up and coming artists and helping their visions come to life!

Endorse Travis Raab
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!
