Traveler—September 2024: Colder Weather—Zac Brown Band

Heya all!

I was excited to have my wife with me last night, which enabled me to get a pretty cool clip from “backstage” at my gig.

This was a nice conclusion to a pretty busy summer gig season. I hope that you like this tune! Any feedback is appreciated.

Ah Travis, great work mate :+1: I know I’ve said this before but just love your overall sound and that crackly, deep, grungy vocal, hats off man :clap: :clap: :clap:

The only only thing was I broke out in a sweat when my ocd locked on to that spaghetti like cabling all over the floor :rofl: :rofl:

Thank you very much @CD02 !!

And it’s kinda crazy, but my wife and I were just talking about that a little bit ago—how I have cables just strung everywhere! Ha.

I would like to clean up presentation there a little. I’ve gotten better with the big/outside the ring cables for my mains. When I added the powered monitor I put a power source out in front of me too. I don’t know if it’s better or worse yet. Finally, when I added a full pedal board that I was confident enough to use and play out live with, it complicated matters again.

I’ll attach a pic from the front, and you can see that what I did to this point is send as many cables as I can to one side of me. I need a better solution but I just enter/exit on my right side. I’ve really gotta figure out the pedal board cord organization more!

I aspire to go more wireless in the future as well, probably first with guitar, then with mic, and that would clean up a little more even :+1:

That’s a big setup Trav, some decent looking guitar cases, even got your own stubby holder, great stuff :+1:

The cables don’t look quite so bad from that angle, I’m just a cable freak, it comes from years in a wiring industry, as soon as I see loose wiring or cabling I break out in a sweat :sweat_smile: :rofl:.

You have a good looking setup. And that burger looks awesome too :face_with_peeking_eye: pretty sure I could smash one on those :rofl: :+1:

This was really nice. A subdued, country-ish tune but with a voice that sounds like you sing rock songs. (It’s a bit similar to the main singer in Creed timbre-wise.) Really enjoyable, thanks for sharing. :slight_smile:

The burger was great @CD02 !! I’ll clean it up more as I go.

I even thought of just bringing a small rug with me to throw over the cord mess from my monitor/pedal board to mixer.

Thank you for the feedback @ConstanceClaire !!

I consider my style to be grungy country! I don’t know who said that but somebody called me that at a show a while back and I adopted it!

Thanks for sharing Travis,
I’ve seen several of your videos before so I know you had a nice strong voice, and good rhythm.

But I think this is the first I’ve seen/heard in a ‘live’ setting.
Just want to say these are fun to watch, sounds great, and your voice is just captivating in a live performance. I could sit and listen to this all night.

Wow, thanks a lot for those kind words @Charlie_James !! I’m blessed to have the voice that I have, but I didn’t know how to shape or use it really until I picked up a guitar.

I consider myself an intermediate, intermediate guitarist at this point. I can do quite a bit but I got a ways to go. That’s exciting to me!
