Mother Hubbard

Band Members:
Travis, the founder/guitar/vocal, is a home grown, self taught guitar player. Influenced by such greats as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Paige, Angus Young, Eric Clapton, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash to name a few. Born and raised in Pickaway county Travis is all about the music. A fondness for Fender Stratocaster's, Tele's, Les Paul's and SG's are the things that makes his world go round. Some of Travis' favorite songs are Layla, Ten Years Gone, Ride On, Watchin the Wheels, Bell Bottom Blues, Life by the Drop and so many more we couldn't count. He has an appreciation for a time past when guitar players were guitar players and music was music. Vocally influenced by the likes of Jim Morrison, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. With an arsenal of vintage guitars and a heart pounding 100 watt Marshall stack brings the tone of a bygone area. Travis grew up with a broad appreciation for music. Especially fond of the blues, classic heavy rock of the late 60's early 70's and appreciation for outlaw country. Jeff, a long time friend of Travis' and a mutual music fanatic, is Mother Hubbard's bassist. Jeff has an almost identical taste in music as Travis and has been around the music scene for many years. He is a seasoned vet with an ear for rhythm and good harmony vocals. Jeff hails from the same area as Travis (Pickaway county) and has similar goals leaning towards original music. Jeff's unique style of the "one finger is enough" approach is something to behold. Jeff can play more with one finger than most can with five. Jeff's old work horse 90's Fender Jazz Bass (with authentic bar room discoloration) is his main axe. He is heavily influenced by such bands as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, SRV, Creedence and many more. With a powerful 500 watt Hartke stack and his trusty Jazz, Jeff can rumble the house. James, also a friend of Travis', is Mother Hubbard's drummer. James cut his teeth on Mother Hubbard. He has been with the group since 2006. James has the rare ability to hold down a solid groove and provide excellent backup harmonies. James is a connoisseur of The Beatles and The Animals and is a true fan of many genres of music. James is originally from Nebraska and luckily for Mother Hubbard, relocated to Columbus. An easy going, general good guy to be around, James has "goodfellas" written all over him. He is an aggressive drummer with a talent for off beat funk and blues. James prefers Paiste cymbals and heavy sticks. James' musical taste is diverse and eclectic. James puts the big boom in Mother Hubbard. Mother Hubbard is an experience to behold live. The band will be embarking on an album of all original material. If you would like to see a band that can get your heart pounding, take you back to an era of great music and get your feet moving, there is only one choice......... ~Mother Hubbard~
