“From the moment Travis Feaster confidently launched into ‘Born Under A Bad Sign’ until the finale, ‘Hey Joe’, the local nuclear power station was made redundant.  The raw energy generated seemed to suck over 1000 spectators into the marquee within minutes as Feaster pushed his guitar to unprecedented heights with an amazing dexterity reminiscent of Hendrix and SRV.” Maryport Festival review.

So what are Indianapolis guitarist WT (Travis) Feaster and his band all about??? (NOTE: This is a PROPER Stateside 3 piece band, not an American with a ‘pick up’ UK rhythm section). Intense guitar playing, impassioned vocals – a rock blues hurricane!

WT Feaster performs outstanding, mind bending, diamond hard riffs as he mercilessly attacks his Fender Stratocaster which screams with an edgy intensity, creating a sound as heavy and raucous as Alvin Lee and as distinctive as Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix. The new Bonamassa? You decide!

A fiery blues rock guitarist and southern soul blues belter with original material and Texas/Chicago inspired blues, WT Feaster Band is in the vanguard of the Mid west Rock/Blues scene. The boundless energy, telepathic musicianship and a flourish of six string ferocity is reminiscent of early Eric Clapton and Cream.
WT (Travis) Feaster made his name on the mid west “Young Guns of Blues Guitar” tour as well as being a leading light on the Chicago Blues Tour & this year toured Coast to Coast with Walter Trout.

His album ‘Wish You Well’ is the perfect context for his impassioned fiery playing, and fast growing reputation.

"To start us off in the sweltering heat, was a solo artist Steve Fletcher, who opened to a small gathering..but to my surprise actually got them excited about his show. He began by practically herding them to the front of the stage and then goading them to join in with the chant "I am..." to which they gleefully responded "STEVE!" All this before he'd even played a note...as soon as he did though, it was blatantly obvious he knew his way round a blues chord or several, put this together with an excellent voice and definite stage  presence it was turning into quite an interesting set. One thing we did pick up on was that through it all, a drumming could be heard and looking down we realised he was sat astride a small drum unit. It was almost as if it was hidden in a cardboard box...with a foot pedal attached to keep rhythm". The Sheffield Scenester.

Located in the deep south (of Sheffield!). Steve plays 'one-man-band' solo electric blues with the help of a guitar, stomp box and Cajon drum.
