What People are saying

"Travis is the most genuinely nicest person you could ever meet, and as for his talent -- the sky is the limit for him...he hasn't even scratched the surface yet of what he will be able to accomplish in the music business!" Joe Wayne Reynolds, Higher Trails Band

"The first time I played with Travis, it knocked me out that he was after playing harmony with me, on anything. Then later, during a late night jam session at one of our Swing Weeks camps in Taos, he sat down at the piano and CARRIED THE BALL! He'll be an asset to any band, multiple instruments and multiple parts." Johnny Gimble, world renown fiddler

"I've thoroughly enjoyed teaching Travis Terrill. He's not only a fine player but a terrific person. I'm looking forward to hearing great things from him." Paul Anastasio, jazz violin master and teacher

"Inpeccable Tone" Kyle Cook, Matchbox Twenty

"Travis Terrell is a musical mastermind. His heart and soul is so easily seen through every instrument his hands dance on. Eccentric, yet quietly insightful, he is the perfect piece to a great time on the road." -- Julia Ross, Everlife

"Travis was an outstanding musician in our Mt. Pleasant High School Band. He was very dependable and very talented. He was able and willing to learn whatever instrument I needed in the band at any time. He was featured on French Horn and Alto Saxophone in the concert band and played Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Fiddle in our Jazz Bands. He is so versatile that when we had an emergency on the day of a concert contest, when a percussionist couldn't make it for some reason, Travis played the percussion parts and saved the day. He is always willing to help others and has shown a keen interest in learning about music and improving as a musician. On a recent visit to Mt. Pleasant he and I visited awhile and then had a jam session. It was great to see him." Richard Eckstein, Director of bands, Mt. Pleasant High School

"Travis Terrell is one of the finest young musicians I have ever seen. He played piano in our jazz band at UAM and won awards everywhere we went. He not only is a great musician but a young man with topnotch character. HE WILL BE FAMOUS VERY SOON." -- Gary Meggs, Director of Bands, University of Arkansas at Monticello.
