The Travis Allison Band is a wide variety party band that performs a uniquely diverse song selection and features a lineup including Piano, Saxophone, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, B-3 organ, Bass, Drums and multiple Vocalists. The broad musical variety allows the band to ensure something for everyone.

The TAB has released five original albums available on Itunes and www.travisallison.com. The Washington Post writes, "…the songs benefit from the sheer quality of writing, whether the tale is impassioned, introspective or inspiring." The latest album, “Migrant Heart” features Edwin McCain.

TESTIMONIALS from Wedding Receptions:
Travis and the band are just plain AWESOME!! i can't say enough to describe how great they are.
They are easy to communicate with and get a great feel ahead of time for what the specific client prefers.
As the bride, i told them a general idea of what kind of music we liked and didn't like and then totally entrusted the rest to them.
The music through our entire reception was AWESOME!
They pretty much run the show and don't need micro-managing, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy for everyone.
They are the band for a PARTY!! As a vendor in the wedding industry, they are awesome!
As a guest at many of the weddings they have played, each show they play is different and unique and just as awesome as the last!
I would recommend to anyone!! Biz Ford, 2-11-12 Pepper Plantation

I can do that when I get them if you would like.
Thanks again! We will stay in touch. Have a good evening!

We were really happy with your band. Everyone REALLY enjoyed themselves ! It can be difficult to choose a band not being local and only hearing snippets on line. We were so happy with our decision going with you all.
Thank you again, Kimberly, Bride Palmetto Bluff 5/28/11

Hi, Travis! I have been intending to email you to thank you and your band for the wonderful performance at Elizabeth's and Jacob's reception. We had so many great comments about the wide variety of songs you played; y'all have a wonderful repertoire. You did a masterful job as the emcee, too, Travis. Jacob thinks your band is going to make it really big nationally in the near future.
Thank you for handling everything in such a professional manner, Travis, and for giving our guests such a great time. I wish you the best.

Travis and the Band-
We want to thank you sooo much for being a part of one of the best days
of our lives. You guys were truly amazing!! We had such a blast and
really feel that you guys played a big part in making our reception as
fun as it was. We are still getting complimented on you guys! (I will
spread your name to any of my friends who are getting married around
here!)... We appreciate you taking the time to learn our first day song-
it still brings tears to our eyes when we watch the video. You were a
great group to work with and we hope to have you at another event in the
future. Again, thank you, it meant a lot and we could not have asked
for a better band!
Thanks,

Hi Travis,
I wish I had gotten the opportunity to speak with you on the 18th, but I wanted to thank you and the rest of the band for doing such an awesome job at our wedding reception. The most common compliment we've heard from our guests is how great y'all were! I really appreciate the fact that the dance floor was busy throughout the night (even though we didn't have alcohol--I was so worried!). We loved all the songs that y'all played, and y'all really did sound awesome. I know that Melissa was impressed and will recommend you to her clients, too. I hope that she or Sara at the Mills House took care of you on breaks with food and drinks. I asked them several times to make sure of it! Devin and I seriously don't think you charge enough, by the way! We're definitely passing along the word to our friends who may be looking for a band. We can't wait to see our video from the videographer to hear y'all again!
Y'all really did make our reception so unique and special. I can't say enough how glad I am that we went with you guys. Thank you so much!

Thank YOU and the band soooooooooo much!!! It was awesome and everyone keeps talking about how amazing TAB was/is!!! My mom didn't get to officially meet you, but wants you to know how great everything was -- she and my dad LOVED their song!!
Y'all made our reception perfect! I know you don't need any recommendations, but if you ever do we're MORE than happy to provide!
Thanks again!!!!
Kristen + Andrew --- off to Spain today! :)

Hey Travis!
Thanks for the email...and we have been meaning to send you a quick email ourselves to thank you for the awesome reception music!
We had such a blast dancing to every single song you played...and we had so many people come up to ask us about you guys, and would you be willing to travel, etc. So hopefully we can help spread the word of how great you guys are!
I mean we had people dancing that I've never even seen dance before...including my 91 year old grandmother! My Uncle, who does sound production for concerts, was equally amazed and also dancing like crazy. You guys were just awesome and we enjoyed every minute of it...it just went by way too fast!
Thanks again!

Hey Travis! We can not thank you enough for Saturday night! EVERYONE had nothing but wonderful things to say and it was so great to see everyone out dancing right away (that never happens!) You guys set the perfect mood at every moment, words can't express how perfect an evening it was. Please let us know if we can help with references at any point. Thanks again :)

"This band was awesome; our guests loved their sound and their extensive playlist. We are still getting comments about how they made the evening. And they were on time, set up and ready to go and played their hearts out all night long. Young and old loved this band! Even our 76 year old grandpa was out there dancing."

Comment:
On behalf of our family we want to thank you again for the awesome entertainment
your band provided at Kelsey and David's wedding on September 5th. We are still
getting comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the music and what
a great playlist you had. And you never took a break during the entire time you
played! Even folks who preferred to hang around outside to chat and not dance
commented on how much they loved the band. And thanks for giving us a copy of
your new DVD. We've been playing it regularly and really enjoy it. Best Wishes
for Your Continued Success!! Greg & Jodie

Travis,
We cannot thank you enough for the AMAZING job you guys did at our wedding on June 19th. I know we are biased, but we have never been to a wedding where so many people were out on the dance floor. Everyone was having a blast, and you and the band had a lot to do with that. Travis, you were so accommodating to our special needs (including the bride's obsession with "Don't Stop Believing") and you were an absolute breeze to work with. But, best of all, ya'll sounded great. In the week that we have been back from our honeymoon, we have had so many people come up to us and say that ya'll were the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. Thanks so much for everything, you made the night a complete success!

Travis Allison was fantastic!! He played the best music, and was so nice to work with. Everyone at the wedding was saying how they were the best band they had heard. We would love to have him play again (we have four daughters). Thanks again Jill Norman (Mother of Bride, 6-19-10)
The band was awesome and Travis personally made the event a success. ~ Kristen Ploehn, Event Coordinator, Daufuskie Island Resort, SC
Hey Travis,
Thanks so much. We had a blast! We got many "Best Wedding Band EVER!!!!!!!" comments so basically you tore the roof off the house. I was just bummed we had to stop. I could have gone on for another hour or two for sure! We couldn't have asked for a better band. You guys really were amazing and exactly what we wanted. Please let the guys know that Kate and I are so thankful and happy that you were part of the best weekend in our lives!
~ Pete and Kate, 3/27/10 Dunes West Clubhouse, Mt. Pleasant, SC

Travis,
You guys were 100% awesome. The place was rocking all night from the time your guys started to play to the very last note. To this day people are still talking about the band and how great your guys were. You guys were outstanding to work with and very professional. Believe me when I say that Anne and I will be name dropping you guys to people that are asking for band advice. If you need a written statement or a website comment of you guys, just let Anne and I know, we will be happy to post our satisfaction.
I hope Anne and I get to see y'all perform again some day,
