About Me
Travis Tuck was born in Springfield, Mo and was raised in a military family. He was fortunate enough to be able to see many cultures of the U.S and other Countries wich has molded his style. From the Glam power of New Jersey's Skid Row to the Raw Grunge of Seattle even to Hawaii and their rythmic tunes. And all these sounds are represented in Travis's singing and song writing. Shane Abney was born in Springfield, Mo and has lived here his entire life. Coming from a background in Folk music and a heavy Native American Culture, he experienced more of the laid back and root influnenced music which makes them the dynamic "TWO HEADED MONSTER" they are! When they decided to come together in 2004 they were one of the Pioneers in the acoustic and hand drum duo on the Springfield music scene. Many have came and gone but they still survived. Without the accompaniment of a full band they have learned to take well known songs and make them sound complete and full. They also pride themselves on playing songs that you remember but have not heard most other musicians play, songs that range from the 60s to today!. They are seasoned vets and arguably the best Duo in their category. From coffee shops to 300 seat venues they can play on any and all levels they have played many local and reginal venues to name a few Local venues.. Brewing Co, Archies, Lindbergs,Tipsy Turtle,Fusion,Gravys,Mixology,Classic Sports,Trollys,Both Coyotes,Bumsteads,Abyss,Outland,Highlife,Dennis Place,Acoustic Cafe,Hooligans, Cartoons,Paradise Lounge,Nathan P's,Speakeasys,Valentines,Da Cubby Hole, Whiskey Hollar,Papa Bears,The Road House,Summers At The River,Milles Cafe,Stepchild, Sams Cellar and the Bearded Clam. As well as countless out of town gigs From AR. Like The Cathouse Lounge to the Squid and the whale they have done countless Art walks, Festivals and food tasting events and are recognized Springfield Artists. (We are old skool musicians influenced in many ways, moving passed conventional chording and genreless writing styles makes us a little more diverse and original We think.)....Tuck & Abney
