Travis "White Lightning" Koopman
(lead guitar, vocals)
At age 30, Travis Koopman plays and sings like someone 40 years his senior. While in his early 20's Koopman cut his teeth backing up Chicago Blues legends like the "Ice Cream Man" John Brim and Aaron Moore. Koopman's raw and intense, yet tasteful, guitar playing style is heavily influenced by the great blues guitarists of the 40's, 50's, 60's like Lightnin' Hopkins, Robert Nighthawk, Eddie Taylor, Jimmy Rogers, Louis Myers, and Robert Jr. Lockwood. Koopman is also adept at playing delta slide style blues in the tradition of Son House, Charley Patton and Elmore James. His accomplished guitar playing is equally matched by his gritty and powerful vocal delivery.
