Canadian musician Pat Travers is known for his hard-edged tone, rowdy vocals, and bluesy hard rock sound. His career began in the '70s, with a successful eight-album run on Polydor Records that included hits like "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)." Travers' versatile style encompasses funk, jazz, and prog rock, and he has continued to tour and release albums consistently over the years.
Born in Toronto in 1954, Travers honed his guitar skills after being inspired by legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. He quickly made a name for himself in the rock scene, recording his debut album in London and achieving commercial success with releases like Heat in the Street. Despite shifting musical trends, Travers remained dedicated to his hard rock roots, continuing to release music and collaborate with fellow rock icons like Carmine Appice. His latest album, The Art of Time Travel, showcases his return to hard blues-rock with tracks paying tribute to influential figures in his life.
