Travis Denning is getting ready to release his new EP, Dirt Road Down, on Friday (August 6th). The collection of songs, which includes his latest single “ABBY,” make up what he feels is another piece of his career.
“I just loved the encompassing feeling of Dirt Road Down. It sounds like, the same way the song approaches it so many different ways, to me it’s like another dirt road down,” says Travis. “I like to think of every EP and every song as just another piece, another page, another chapter of just the stories I want to tell and little bits and pieces of my career, and ultimately when it’s strung together, it’s just the path of my career. And the more I thought about that and just thinking of Dirt Road Down, and that path probably, without sounding too cheesy, it has to be a dirt road. I mean, just the songs I love and where I come from. And so, it just feels like another piece of the puzzle down the dirt road. Once I thought of it that way, it felt like the perfect title of the EP.”
Travis is on the road with Brothers Osborne, and they’re set to make stops in Toledo, Ohio on Wednesday (August 4th) and Thursday (August 5th) in Maryland Heights, Missouri.

“I think the reason we picked Dirt Road Down as the title of the EP was it looked great standing on its own – that could be the easy answer – but I just loved the encompassing feeling of Dirt Road Down. It sounds like, the same way the song approaches it so many different ways, to me it’s like another dirt road down. I like to think of every EP and every song as just another piece, another page, another chapter of just the stories I want to tell and little bits and pieces of my career, and ultimately when it’s strung together, it’s just the path of my career. And the more I thought about that and just thinking of Dirt Road Down, and that path probably, without sounding too cheesy, it has to be a dirt road.
