Travis Hyll is an accomplished solo artist whose original compositions demonstrate an authentic, emotive, and timeless spirit inspired by his real-life values and experiences. His musical style often incorporates old time and folk elements pulled from his mother's deep Western North Carolina roots, country/western flair from his father's Texan roots, the soulful power of Southern rock and blues, and the evocative old world feel of Celtic traditions.
Travis Hyll was born in North Carolina to a disabled veteran father and was raised with the influence of his grandparents who were themselves veterans in Korea and WWII. They endured difficult lives as poor sharecroppers during the Great Depression, typifying the southern experience of their era, and later worked in textile mills. From them, Travis learned the values of faith, patriotism, hard work, enduring pain, refusing to give up, and fulfilling one's duty. These lessons propelled him to push through hardships in order to make a name for himself and advance in life no matter the obstacles.
In February of 2023, Travis Hyll relocated to New England, quickly gaining a reputation as a premier artist on equal ground with longstanding regional acts. He has been regularly performing at festivals and venues across the region ever since, with his organic following growing exponentially.
In October of 2023, Travis Hyll independently released his single “This Gold Ring,” written about the enduring value and sanctity of marriage, and in March 2024 he released his single “The Lineman Song,” based on his personal experiences as a former line worker and steward.
