“Five Minutes With” Country & Country-Pop Singer-Songwriter Travis Dolter

“You’d have to travel far to find a more accomplished, driven young guy than Travis Dolter. Travis can read a room like a pro and is a natural born entertainer.” Greg Shannon – 840 CFCW

Singer/songwriter Travis Dolter has seen an increase in demand as his energy, talent, and enthusiasm while performing have been showcased at several events this past year. Recently providing direct support as the opener for Gord Bamford at the Vegreville Fair, local journalist Michelle Pinon, described the performance as “electrifying” referring to Travis as an “up-and-coming country music sensation.”

Raised on the family farm near Edmonton AB, Travis takes on life with a positive and lively attitude and reflects that spirit in the creative storytelling of his songs. With upcoming performances, Travis’s confidence and charisma add excitement to every performance he is a part of.

I don’t really have one! I just say good luck to the boys in the band and we go put on a show!

EP or LP?

LP! I have lots of them. I would say 45’s are my actual favourites!

Early bird or night owl?

Both! I tend to stay up too late and wake up too early!
