Travis Larson and the 25th Anniversary Sneak Peak Video!

[Nutboy]

Any time Keith! I do find it funny how we create images and expectations based on names and ids. I was totally thrown off when I saw your first pics - I had you pictured completely differently based on your id alone.

So Travis, do you mind if I inquire about your influences (if any)? Like a few others have mentioned, I can hear a little Steve Morse in some of your tunes. Was he one?

BTW, I really like the 25th demo tune. Is it, or will it be on an album or the DVD?

Thanks for joining the fun here!
Mike

Thanks guys for all the nice comments! I really appreciate it The tune on the demo IS on the DVD coming out as well as an album called "Burn Season" that Luke actually plays on with me. The tune is called "Heads or Tales" (yes Tales is spelled that way on purpose). I've used MusicMan guitars on everything for almost a decade. Even an acoustic tune on the last record using Piezo.
Steve (Morse) is an influence and has always been great to us. I grew up as a piano player, so there's a lot of folks and music... Everything from ELP to Hendrix, haha.
You can check out the album/DVDs here if you're interested. Sorry for the shamless plug, haha. Travis Larson Band -- Merchandise

Are we going to see more 25th on the upcoming DVD?

We shot it in September 2008. You will see my early red JP, JPBFR, 20TH Silo (quilt Maple) Oh yes and 4 of Jen's basses. Check out the gallery of stuff Gotta love 'em!
I believe I have the only Luke Blue Axis Sport here also. Still need to get the 25th Anniversary in this gallery. Been playing it a ton though. Need to do it justice with a nice portrait. Snap shots just won't do, haha.

Nice! Sorry for the barrage of questions you get while you're here

Let us know if its too much, haha.

The precursor to sneak one more in, are you guys going to be doing some shows in LA in the fall?

(Also, are you using 9's or 10's on your JP's?)

No problem. If I've got time, it's a pleasure to talk (or type) shop, haha. I'm using 9's. I've never had a problem getting enough great tone with lighter strings on these guitars. I think we'll be in LA sometime in Aug? Keep an eye on the website as things always come up.

Hey Guys,
I was hoping to get these up a while ago, but...
Here's a few shots of the 25th used in the video. They were taken for my next web update. Not a bad looking top in my opinion Can't wait to get it out on the road.

[Headstock]

Nice work!

[DJ.]

Very nice.

[ScoobySteve]

Very nice.

I know what you're thinking DJ.

Great looking top on there Travis!

Hey hey hey!! It's Travis himself! Didn't see this until now... how neat.

Hey Travis... thanks for all the great music you've given us. I've been listening to you since about 1999 or so, when my uncle introduced me to Nut Boy on your eponymous record. I think my favorite record so far is Burn Season. Great stuff!!

On a personal note (You can be honest here ) Which one of your axes gets the most amount of love? (Rotation wise) Or are they set up in a way where each has their own specific uses when different tones are needed.

[Nutboy]

I kind of have a spot for all the guitars with specific tunes if I can take 'em. If it's a fly date and I have limited gear it's the JP BFR. It's the most flexable with the Piezo and 24 frets. That's if I can take just one. The 25th is working great for some tunes I used several guitars on record, because I can get different tones with the Series/Parallel. The low gain and high gain options are awesome!

Anyone got any pics of his rig ?

Lovely thick, warm tone.

Well I ordered the Burn Season cd last week because I am liking some of the vids from the dvd. But I did not stumble on the band through this thread, but strangely enough, through the thread that was about chicks with music man where someone posted a video referring to Jennifer hahaha

Strange how things can go
