About the artist: Travis Ledoyt is a celebrated singer, songwriter, pianist, and performer, most renowned for his tribute to Elvis Presley. Dubbed as the closest experience to seeing Elvis in his prime, even by Elvis’ own drummer, D.J. Fontana, Travis has captivated global audiences with his authentic performances. He grew up in Greenfield, MA, where he was known for his lively wit and was dubbed the “Class Clown” in school. It was his discovery of Elvis Presley that ignited his deep passion for music, quickly propelling him from high school talent shows to prestigious national venues, where he has opened for legends like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, B.B. King, and Chuck Berry. The pandemic closures prompted Travis to revisit his passion for songwriting. In 2022 he released “Lonely Blue Train,” an album of original music inspired by icons like Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis. This project led to the creation of “Sun and the Stars,” a show celebrating the legends of Sun Records, and “The Elvis in Me,” a larger production featuring live horns and a blend of Elvis’s music and Travis’s own songs. His first album, “Lonely Blue Train,” channels the pop sound of the 1960s, while his follow-up, “Sun and the Stars,” explores the country sound of the same era, reflecting a vocal style reminiscent of various Sun Record artists. His latest album, “Fever Dream,” marks a shift towards his natural singing style, blending early rock and roll influences with sounds from the 70s and 80s. Currently, Travis tours with his backing band, “The Nashville Boys,” continuing to share his music around the country.
