Travis Book & Friends Fat Tuesday Edition ft. John Trufant, Jeff Sipe, & Derrick Gardner

Tuesday casual collaborations at 185 King Street are the result of what has now been over a year-long series that Travis Book started to fulfill a need for live music during the pandemic period. When music venues around the country were closed we pivoted to find a way to provide live music to our community. Open air and spaced out, we prevailed. Every Tuesday since August of 2020, Travis has assembled 3-4 musicians for a unique night of music. After more than a year, the series has become the cornerstone of the Brevard music community; bringing musicians and music fans together for one-time-only collaborations. Travis has hosted a wide range of musicians, including: Mike Ashworth, Anders Beck, Nicki Bluhm, Josh Daniel, Andy Dunnigan, Benny “Burle” Galloway, Mike Guggino, Lindsay Lou, Tommy Maher, Mimi Naja, Lyndsay Pruett, Rev. Matthew Reiger, Jon Stickley, Barrett Smith, Kyle Tuttle, and Jon Weisberger and is now occasionally handing the mic over to let some of his friends take the lead. Every week is different, but it’s not just a jam; the musicians bring intention to every setlist and every show and as a result, these carefully cultivated shows are becoming a cornerstone of the WNC music scene.

This week's featured guests will be John Trufant, Jeff Sipe and Derrick Gardner.  It's Fat Tuesday so John is the perfect man for the job.  His feet are sunk deep in the Bayous of South Louisiana and his head is lost in the Mountains of Appalachia. Singer and writer John Trufant plays tribute to his roots and all that shapes him. Touches of soul, blues, country but roots through and through. From funky-feel good to folky reflections this is, simply: Good. Honest. Music.

We plan to have the garage door closed for this show.  Tables are on sale for the space right in front of the stage and the back area will be standing room (where table #1 and #2, & #3 are on this diagram).
