SUMMARY:Pat Travers Band
DESCRIPTION:Pat Travers was born and raised in Toronto\, Ontario. Soon after picking up the guitar at age 12\,\nhe saw Jimi Hendrix perform in Ottawa. Travers began playing in bands early in his teens; his\nfirst bands were the Music Machine (not to be confused with the Californian\npsychedelic/garage band of the same name)\, Red Hot\, and Merge\, which played in clubs in the\nQuebec area.\nWhile performing with Merge\, he was noticed by rock artist Ronnie Hawkins\, who invited\nTravers to perform with him. In his early twenties Travers moved to London and signed a\nrecording contract with the Polydor label.[2] His self-titled debut album was released in 1976\,\nand featured bassist Peter “Mars” Cowling\, who would become a mainstay in Travers’ band for\nseveral years.[2] An appearance on the German TV show Rockpalast in November 1976 was\nlater released on DVD under the title Hooked on Music. This performance showcases an early\nversion of Travers’ band featuring Cowling and drummer \n\nDuring 1977\, Travers added a second guitarist to his band\, changed drummers twice including\nusing Clive Edwards\, and by the time Heat in the Street was released in 1978 had put together\nthe Pat Travers Band.[2] This grouping featured Travers on vocals and guitar\, Pat Thrall on\nguitar\, Cowling on bass\, and Tommy Aldridge on drums and percussion.[2] The band toured\nheavily\, also supporting Rush on their Drive til You Die tour in support of A Farewell to Kings.\nThe guitar Travers most often appeared with on stage and on album covers in the band’s early\nyears was a 1964/65 model double cutaway\, double [humbucker] pickup Gibson Melody Maker.\nThe band’s next release was a live album entitled Live! Go for What You Know\, which charted in\nthe Top 40 in the United States and included the tune “Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)”\n(originally recorded by Little Walter\, credited to Stan Lewis)\, which climbed even higher on the \ncharts\, entering the Top 20. “Snortin’ Whiskey” was a major American radio hit from 1980’s\nCrash and Burn.
