With a mix of rockabilly and Hawaiian beats, venturing out to see Travis James Humphrey play makes an excellent choice for any evening. The last time I saw him perform was over dinner Friday Night at the Dogfish Bar & Grille. His repertoire includes a wide variety of covers (At one point he went from Ray Charles to Sublime and then to the Beatles) and several righteous originals. When performing as a one-man band, Travis James Humphrey matches his deep passionate voice with a slow and impetuous rhythm that makes for perfect dinner music. It is something your special someone would want to slow ‘dance the night away.’ By the way, the acoustics are excellent at the Dogfish Bar and Grille; you can still have a conversation at the table, while enjoying excellent background music. If you look closely at the Old Port Music home page you will notice that the music description of Travis James Humphrey reads aloha-billy deluxe. So where does the deluxe come from? Travis admitted after the show that everything is better with a little deluxe. Trust me, he is right.
