About
Brevity
Explosive style and technique influenced by years of intense multi-genre grinding are what make Travers’ playing memorable. Raised in North Carolina, he grew up performing in regional orchestras as a violinist and also in local bands as a guitarist. He went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in performance from Appalachian State University in 2014 with a focus in violin studies. During this time as an undergrad his passion for baroque music and pedagogy came into focus and still play a large part in his artistic growth.
After spending several years in Nashville TN away from his fiddle and to study the business side of the music industry, he moved to Asheville in 2017 to reinvent his approach both as an instrumentalist and artist. Having played professionally with such groups as the Asheville Symphony, Brevard Philharmonic and Asheville Jazz orchestra, his career has now turned towards extensive collaboration with many local artists as a soloist, composer, music-supervisor, and multi-instrumentalist. These days when he isn’t gigging, teaching at the Asheville Music Academy, or recording at the studio, he’s probably busking with Bach and drinking coffee somewhere around Wall St.
