About Me

What's up everybody.I'm a bass player. I grew up in Lebanon TN and am now in Los Angeles. I moved in 2001 and have been playing bass as a full time musician ever since. No kids No wife just music. I teach at the school I attended (Musicians Institute) in Hollywood two days a week, and also play at the Shield of Faith church in Pomona on Sunday's. I also keep busy doing some studio work and playing club gigs with many different artists. I mostly tour with my dads band (Larry Carlton), we do between about 80 to 100 gigs a year all over the world. I also have been playing some with jazz and blues guitar player Robben Ford. There will also be a Larry Carlton/Robben Ford live record I played on that will be released in Jan. 07 (Japan) and probably July 07 (US). I also have a acid jazz/funk/fusion group of friends i went to school with called New Soul Underground. It's a fun group. It keeps us all sane so that we can go work and do gigs we might not have as much fun playing because we have so much fun when we get to play. Anyways I LOVE MY LIFE and am happy in LA. Sorry if it takes me a little while to respond to everybody. I don't have a computer of my own so I will just check my account every few weeks. PEACE & LOVE Travis
