Hailing from Natchez, Mississippi, Travis McCready has the sound of traditional guitar-heavy rock n roll, and throwing it into a modern music scene with soulful flare. Like so many of the Southern musicians that came before him, Travis has an incredibly rich and soulful sound and is a direct product of the landscape that surrounds him. A land filled with iconic American landmarks in the Mississippi river and Highway 61, and remains heralded to this day as the birth place of the blues and of rock n roll, with gritty guitars and melodies flowing through the state and becoming intrenched in the way of life for so many people. In a place with such a rich musical history, there is no place for gimmicks or fakery, every band must work from the ground up for their success, and Travis McCready is a prime example of this.

With his original band, Bishop Gunn’s debut album, ‘Natchez’, it was a testament to their hometown, not only in name, but in ferocity and sound. The overwhelming response the band noted from their debut album across the United States is testament to the enduring nature of soulful rock n roll, and it’s place within youth culture.
