Travis Hatcher
Travis Hatcher - Bass, Vocals, Harmonica
Travis has a long and storied history on stage in a variety of roles on an array of instruments. He has performed throughout the Maritimes in both solo and supporting roles, and after working on a number of acclaimed projects in Moncton, New Brunswick, his recent move back to HRM has opened new and exciting musical opportunities. He is the band's Swiss Army knife both musically and practically as he is the one to go to if someone needs a piece of tape or a cable and he owns and operates the bands's well equipped jam space. Travis' influences are eclectic, from hip-hop to heavy metal, and he respects and learns from all of what music has to offer as he plays and creates. His passion lies in being the bassist and is adept in many different styles.
