Announcing "The Brian Travis Kindness of Strangers Tour 2013"!

Brian Travis embarked on an open ended tour across the bay area in the fall/winter of 2013 to promote the new BTB CD, "The Coyote & The Crow" with the help of fans and supporters. The tour concept was simply this: One Man. One acoustic guitar. A backpack filled with CD's, minimal resources and booking the shows from a laptop while on the road. Brian achieved his goal of playing venues all over the USA on his way to Nashville living only on what people gave him in exchange for his performances and the support of fans like you. What supporters got in return was a weekly Kindness of Strangers Tour video episode which was uploaded to bt.com every week during the entirety of the tour. Fans kept up with the tour and followed along with Brian as he promoted his new CD at shows and radio station appearances all across the nation.

The first episode is here for you to enjoy and includes a brief explanation of the tour concept from Brian Travis:

What people are saying about The Coyote & The Crow:

"So far I love this album as a whole, as a body of work, listening from start to finish it hangs so well together, rising and falling in all the right places. Today I am feeling 'Evaporate'" - Richard Evans

"Love the new cd Brian.... I just got to listen to it with my headphones..... boy.... I gotta great feeling for you this coming year.... Piping hot man..... Take me with you!!!!!" - Heather Epper

"Started 2013 off by listening to The Coyote and the Crow by the Brian Travis Band. I am awestruck. I’m speechless. It sounds as if The BTB have stepped into every truly broken heart, took measurements and turned it into sound. The guitar work is phenomenal and Brian’s voice has really matured into a pretty powerful instrument. The Coyote & The Crow is a very strong lineup of songs from a band that has been releasing great music consistently for over 10 years. The music and lyrics of the BTB feed my soul and The Brian Travis Band are now my all time favorite band." - Kender Macgowan

"I love the album!" - Barbara Wilder

"Listened to The new BTB album and loved it! You guys are truly amazing. You sound great! I bet watching you guys live performing your new songs would be epic." - Lauren Ashley

"I've listened to the album twice and overall it's really really good stuff. I love the writing. Really creative. "Howl" and "All These Lovely Things" really stood out to me. Super catchy…delicious pop music. I love the whole album. Thematically it has a cohesion to it, its got themes that run through it and the production is impeccable. Everything sounded great and really tasty guitar work and just great writing...really great writing. I think The Brian Travis Band has that REM vibe and I think they are every bit as good as those guys. I'm planning to listen to the album some more and dig into it further, but I really really like it and I think it's great stuff and I think you guys are going to have a lot of success with it. That is my initial take from a few listenings and I definitely want to listen some more because I like it. You guys should feel great about the project, you should feel very good about it" - Bill Burnett

"Talent oozes out of the beautiful struggles of Brian Travis' soul, and is matched, note for note, by extraordinary musicianship. This is not just soundtrack worthy thought provoking ear candy - The music perfectly emphasizes, dances, and twirls around the heartfelt universal themes and stories of the poet. If you like words that paint pictures in your mind, and music that frames and vibrantly colors the narrative, this album will be one of your favorites forever." - Danny Quisenbury

"I see Brian Travis growing as an artist, finding his voice and singing his truth. It is in truth that art reveals itself. Brian follows his heart, even if it hurts, and he has a gift. I hate to put new artists in a box when describing them, because the Brian Travis Band clearly sound like their own thing, but as I have never seen them perform live I am limited to making comparisons from the recorded material I've heard. It would appear that their 'sound' has grown from something Neil Young-ish to more Michael Stipe meets the Eagles. It is a sound that fits well for this group! Carry on Brian Travis Band!" - David Domanski

"I've always believed that this band is bound for the Grammys, and after hearing The Coyote & The Crow I am certain that it won't be much longer before I am tuning in to see them accepting 'best new artist'. The new album is awesome and it really rocks!" - Janice Miller
