TRAVIS MUZNEY | PERCUSSION
With 47 years behind the drums, this powerhouse brings the energy of legends like John Bonham, Chad Smith, and Mike Portnoy to every performance. He’s shared the stage with acts ranging from David Allan Coe to Scotty McCreery, and can always be counted on to jump in last-minute - like the time he got the call at 11am to sub for Little Texas that night (and absolutely crushed it!).
Raised in a musical family - his parents played the Grand Ole Opry, and his dad toured with Gene Vincent in the ‘60s - music is in his DNA. When you watch him behind the kit, it’s like witnessing the music come to life. He doesn’t just play; he feels and anticipates - and you can see it in every beat.
"Music is like breathing," he says, "I don’t get tired of breathing, I don’t get tired of music." Whether it’s a sold-out show or a small local gig, he plays each performance like it’s his last, bringing the crowd along for a ride they won’t forget.
