Oklahoma's Travis Linville recently released Up Ahead now has a silky new video for album standout "Wishes". The video, which premiered yesterday at The Boot, shows Travis and his band performing performing surounded by Edison bulbs and pefectly juxtaposes the minimalist beauty of the song.

NPR Music calls the track "a highlight" of the album continuing, "The relatable tune, paced by steady percussion and accented by a crying pedal steel, focuses on those ever-escaping moments as folks weave in and out of our lives."

"There is something special about a love song that transcends a romantic relationship," adds Travis. "When a love song could just as easily speak to a friend, grandparent or child just as much as it speaks to a romantic partner, I think that is the most powerful."

Travis is an inexplicably authentic instrumentalist known for his work as a sideman with Hayes Carll and moves to center stage on his new full length, a gorgeously melodic roots album that gives priority to the song. Wide Open Country calls the album, "A masterclass in authentic songwriting and tasteful production" and Glide Magazineagrees, "Up Ahead is poised to become one of the 2017′s top Americana releases with its potent musicianship, resounding vocals and just mighty fine all around quality songs."

Travis returns home from Folk Alliance this week to continue his weekly residency at the Mercury Lounge in Tulsa before heading to SXSW, Hayes Carll's DPS Gathering and more. A full list of tour dates can be found below with more to be added.
