About W.T Feaster Band

The natural habitat of WT Feaster is a barroom somewhere in Indianapolis. They do tear-'em-up blues songs that imperceptibly shift into the soul vernacular. It's a timeless sound, which is to say, very old, so it comes as a surprise to find that guitarist/singer Travis Feaster is a mere 27 years young. Evidently this is time enough to absorb the finer aspects of the great guitar tradition, from T-Bone Walker to Jimi Hendrix, and to deliver songs of bruised love and romantic loss with conviction and charisma. The rhythm section of drummer Chris Taylor and bassist Austin Shearer share Feaster's precocity. The latter started playing bass at 16 and is a solid, versatile anchormen.. So what’s Indianapolis guitarist WT (Travis) Feaster all about??? Intense guitar playing, impassioned vocals – a rock blues hurricane! WT Feaster performs outstanding, mind bending, diamond hard riffs as he mercilessly attacks his Fender Stratocaster which screams with an edgy intensity, creating a sound as heavy and raucous as Alvin Lee and as distinctive as Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix. The new Bonamassa? You decide! A fiery blues rock guitarist and southern soul blues belter with original material and Texas/Chicago inspired blues, WT Feaster Band is in the vanguard of the Mid west Rock/Blues scene. The boundless energy, telepathic musicianship and a flourish of six string ferocity is reminiscent of early Eric Clapton and Cream. WT (Travis) Feaster made his name on the mid west “Young Guns of Blues Guitar” tour as well as being a leading light on the Chicago Blues Tour & this year toured Coast to Coast with Walter Trout. His new album ‘Wish You Well’ is the perfect context for his impassioned fiery playing, and fast growing reputation. Influenced by blues greats like Albert King, Bill Perry, Junior Wells, Alvin Lee, and rockers Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson and Jimi Hendrix, WT combines strong song writing with impossible licks and a fiery sense of purpose that puts him near the top of the new generation Rock and Blues scene. Price £6.50 On the door on the evening. http://www.youtube.com/​watch?v=WI3lRTsVg3o
