Pat Travers was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Soon after picking up the guitar at age 12, he saw Jimi Hendrix perform in Ottawa. Inspired by Hendrix, as well as other artists including Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, Travers began playing in bands early in his teens; his first bands were The Music Machine, Red Hot, and Merge, which played in Quebec-area clubs. The band’s next release was a live album entitled Live! Go for What You Know, which charted in the Top 40 in the United States and included “Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)”. This was followed by the 1980 release Crash and Burn, which climbed even higher on the charts, entering the Top 20. Snortin’ Whiskey was a major American radio hit from this album and Pat Travers began the 1980s as a hot item in the hard rock music scene. Touring tirelessly and building a loyal fan base since then, Travers enters the second decade of the 21st century as one of the few top blues-rock guitarists who perpetuates the classic sound while satisfying his fans with a steady stream of original material.
