Travis Denning has always loved music and knew at a young age that he wanted to play music for a living. His grandparents and parents indulged him when it came to attending concerts, including shows a pre-teen wouldn’t typically choose.
“I think the earliest memory I have of a concert that I looooved was actually Atlanta Rhythm Section and Little Richard played Macon, Georgia, and my grandfather was the biggest Little Richard fan in the world. He loved Rock ’N Roll. I’ll never forget that show and just being like, ‘Man! That guy up there’s old, but he’s killing it. He’s still got it,” Travis recalls. “The first concert that I begged my parents to take me to was Motley Crue, and they took me. My dad took me, and at 12-years-old I realized that was probably not the best place for a 12-year-old to be, but man, it just fueled the fire as hard as it could’ve.”
Travis just released the official video for his debut song, “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” which you can view below.
