   About Travis Vick




I began playing piano when I was 10-ish (I'm 18 now) in a worship band at the church I used to go to. All the songs were the same, but I really liked playing with a band, so I kept going. One time, one of the guys on the worship team told me that God told him that I was called to be a worship leader. That's when I freaked out, and left the team.

After the worship experience, I started a rock band called "The Fuzz." We covered Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and other stuff like that. This didn't last very long.

After "The Fuzz," I joined a band called "Project Fairway" that eventually dropped the "Project" and just became plain old "Fairway." We wrote our own songs, but shortly after I joined the two original members quit. I kept things going, adding three new members and ended up being the singer until we found a good one. We never did. I stayed on vocals. Fairway called things quits in the fall of 2007.

I've always been writing songs that I'd never use in Fairway.

These songs, the songs I now play under my own name, Travis Vick, are those songs.

*********

I like instruments. I use a lot of different ones. Piano, Guitar, Accordian, Banjo, Bass, Mandolin, Harmonica, Ukelele, Trombone, Clarinet and Drums. Every chance I get to use a new instrument, I do it. I listened to a lot of country with my dad when I was young. Country like... Guy Clark and Lyle Lovett. I think that has influenced my sound a little bit, but i wouldn't call my music country.

No.

It's more like "melodic folk rock."

*********

"Sufjan Stevens hasn't yet released a California installment in his States Project series, but Vick's debut EP, "Player Piano," tides us over nicely. The heartfelt set is part Stevens (wispy folk-pop), part Ferraby Lionheart (the LA baroque), and part Dirty Projectors (a reedy experimentalism)." —DOWNLOAD.COM

"(Player Piano) creates a soundtrack for stretching out in a field of wildflowers on a warm spring day and letting the world pass you by. Vick ties the tracks together with his airy, atmospheric vocals and lyrics that are introspective and expressive." —209VIBE.COM
