According to author, journalist, and pop music historian Harvey Kubernik, former West Coast Director of A&R for MCA Records, "Travis Pike is an overlooked, but fascinating rock 'n' roll story, which is the reason that in the middle of working on my own books and television appearances, I spend time with him. 71-year-old, award-winning storyteller, singer, songwriter, publisher, and media professional, Travis Pike will fascinate your listeners with stories from his book, Odd Tales and Wonders: 1964-1974 A Decade of Performance, and happily discuss excerpts from his current recordings of original audience favorites from that turbulent decade. Ask Travis to tell: Why, at 69, author, singer, songwriter, and storyteller Pike went all the way back to his rock 'n' roll roots to launch his new venture, Otherworld Cottage Industries, as an independent, family-financed, production and publishing entity? Where and when he first became serious about pursuing a career in music? What inspired him, when most of the songs he recently recorded evolved from audience favorites from his live shows back in the sixties, to suddenly write a whole batch of new material for Outside the Box, his newest album release? How he expects to market his works without major industry backing? |
