Live Music: Travis Elliot & Tucker Rogers

By his mid-thirties singer/songwriter/guitarist Travis Elliott has been around — touring the United States and Caribbean, opening for regional and national acts, and of course, spoiling the local Charlottesville, Virginia audience with his music and witty humor. His music has been described as pop, alternative, a little folky, rock, Americana, and most of all, catchy.

His first EP in 2005 was hailed by Charlottesville’s The Hook as a “modern rock epic,” and in 2008 he earned Best Solo Artist of the Year by C’Ville Weekly. In 2010 Travis released his first full length album, Swan Dive, which spent a week in iTunes’ New & Noteworthy section.

His melodies follow the natural rhythm of life, and his lyrics speak to the soul with passion. Don’t expect to get it out of your head, either.
