Cape Cod’s Chandler Travis began his music career 40 years ago.  In the years since, he’s pretty much done it all. With his first band, the comedy-leaning Travis Shook & The Club Wow, he toured the nation and performed on The Tonight Show, The Midnight Special, and the Dick Cavett Show.  In 1980, he co-founded the still-intact pop/rock Incredible Casuals, releasing four albums along the way.  He’s released dozens of other albums since, both as a solo artist, and with various bands including the nine-piece Chandler Travis Philharmonic and the smaller Chandler Travis Three-O.  His albums have featured special guest appearances by George Carlin and members of NRBQ. For fans of NRBQ, genre hopping, absurdist humor, musical mayhem.  Avoid the bars on St. Patty's Day.  BYOB and have some real fun! 
 

 

  
“Dixieland romps, twisted Mardi Gras marches, sweaty 60’s rock, smoky torch songs, and occasional novelties that sound somewhere between Randy Newman and They Might Be Giants, all with hilariously offbeat lyrics. The world would be a better place if Travis would only visit more often.” —San Francisco Express

“Dixieland, pop, avant-jazz, rock…and fully over the top.” —Boston Globe

“This man should either be locked up or made king of the planet. Despite the apparent anarchy, the band (playing their “psycho-jungle-dixieland”) is incredibly tight.” —The Noise
