Travis James Humphrey Cowgirl Romance CD

Travis James Humphrey plays good-time music, and he began doing so at an early age in rural northern Maine. He honed his craft first with the American Boychoir, then as the frontman for his father's various bar bands, and eventually worked his way into the position of lead singer/guitarist for the US Air Force Band, Silver Wings. After eight years in the Air Force Band, Trav returned to his home state of Maine and joined up with bassist Tom Ambrose. Tom is a highly accomplished musician and instructor with roots in improvisational and standard jazz. He doesn't limit himself, though; Tom plays everything from BeBop to Blues, Country to Calypso, Rock'n'Roll to Reggae and he does it all with same level excellence and intensity that he brings to handling all business aspects of the band.Rob is a master percussionist and drummer who has worked all over the U.S. bringing happy rhythms and smooth vocals wherever he goes.The band is inspired by musical legends that include Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, The Police, Jimmy Buffett, The Beatles, Waylon Jennings, Paul Simon, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jerry Jeff Walker, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, John Prine, Israel Kamakawiwo ole' (Iz), and Henry Kapono. -------------------------------------------------------Endorsements and Highlights "I hear a lot of country tunes, and I can say with all honesty that Travis' songs are better than most anything on country radio today.
