Our first featured artist, TRAVIS OBERG grew up in the town of Dinuba, a farming community 30 miles south of Fresno. He now seems to operate out of Santa Cruz, CA with his backing band “Saltwater Merchants”, and his smooth vocals fall in the family tree lineage somewhere between James Taylor and Glen Phillips.
Travis’ songs from his debut “Bloodlines” present an honest viewpoint on the importance of remembering where you’ve been, looking ahead to where you are going and the decisions that we make on this journey.
His songs deal with life and loss, relationships, redemption, and offer hope in this sometimes uncertain and difficult day we live in. Music for Travis has always been about the ministry it allows; the strange and powerful way it can connect with people from every walk of life.
TRAVIS OBERG – SELECTED TRACKS
1) Travis Oberg – Hurricane

“Writing songs is a trip! I am thrownback each time a new song arrives, like a surprise package in the mail. Songwriting is a challenge that keeps me awake at night, longing for the expressions to take on form and melody” – Travis
