Forming in 2012, Traveller was first born when drummer Simon Usher heard the talents of lead vocalist Gerry Sheridan. Since then, they’ve been working relentlessly in the studio in crafting their unique blend of Americana, Blues and Acoustic Rock. Lead singer Gerry, has a unique song writing style. His work is focused on putting stories of struggle, pain and joy to the bands vintage sound. Writing from the heart, his soul wrenching voice has become a blend of some of his biggest influences including Kelly Jones, Michael Stipe and Tom Yorke. Since their critically acclaimed debut release “All This Time” in 2016, the 3-piece have been picking up support from fans across the globe. Their appeal is due in no small part to their wealth of vintage and contemporary influences, ranging from REM and Bruce Springsteen, right through to Jack Savoretti and Keith Urban. The band released three singles throughout the summer and autumn of 2019 with the first of them being the infectious and upbeat “Old Stories” followed by “Running” and their self-titled track “Traveller”. You can hear the bands passion for country in the instrumentation, though they have a unique ability to take elements of a genre and make it their own. They are continuing to generate a swell of interest and support across all social media platforms and in the press including rave reviews from Americana UK, XS Noize, Fame Magazine, Impose Magazine to name but a few including recent appearances on Countryline T.V, The Americana Bar T.V Show, BBC Radio Essex with Tony Fisher, Talk FM with Bob Mills and much more still to come.
The band have recorded a full-length album which is due for release towards the end of 2019.
