The
Travis Colby Band is a high energy power trio that plays Funk, Blues, and
R&B covers and originals. The members of the TCB are all
multi-instrumental, which provides a big sound and versatility to the three
piece band. They can also change orchestration and cater to lower volume jazz
shows, private functions, and weddings.
Travis Colby has been playing piano and guitar professionally for many years,
touring and recording with Grammy award winning Luther ‘Guitar Junior’ Johnson
for a six year tenure and international recording artists Roomful of Blues from
2004-2012. Colby brings the energy and inspiration of these artists to his
band, playing and singing a mixture of Blues, Jazz, Funk, R&B and original
tunes fit to satisfy any crowd or venue. He was named ‘Best Keyboard Player’
three times in the long running “Blues Audience” magazine, and played on Luther
Johnson’s Grammy nominated “Gotta Find a Way” in 2002, as well as three Roomful
albums, “Standing Room Only”, “Raisin a Ruckus”, and “Hook, Line, and Sinker”.
Since he has formed the Travis Colby Band, he has released two albums of
original music, “Quick Fix” and “A Better Age”. Both have
been received well by fans and critics alike. The song “Strut” off
Quick Fix was featured in an episode of True Blood on HBO in 2013.

Chris Stovall Brown has been playing music since the age of six when his parents came home with a set of bongo drums, which he taught himself to play in a matter of days. At the age of eight, his elementary school offered him the opportunity to study drums and he grabbed it. Acquiring a drum a year for Christmas, Chris was soon playing with neighborhood bands and actually did his first gigging as a drummer at the tender age of 13. Playing in both jazz, rock and wedding bands helped him to gain a wealth of expertise in various styles of music. Picking up the harp at the age of 11, after a sax player left it at rehearsal, his attention was now diverted to two instruments and he started spending his allowance and gig money on blues records (an obsession that continues to this day). These days you can often find CSB playing international shows as the drummer for WATERMELON SLIM or playing regional shows with J.GEILS, JEFF PITCHELL, THE COLBY’S, JAMES MONTGOMERY, SWEET MELISSA, MADELEINE HALL and SHIRLEY LEWIS in addition to fronting his own STOVALL BROWN BAND!
