ONSTAGE
The Silver Travis Band Harley Davidson of Greenville, SC Wednesday, September 28, 2016
The Silver Travis Band began in Spartan-
burg, SC back in 1981, enjoying a three or four- year career before the boys each moved into marriages, regular jobs and the like. In the mid- 2000’s, the band decided to reunite, recording their first ever album, One Monkey Don’t Spoil the Showand a follow up called The High Road. They have been working on a follow up for a cou- ple of years now that promised to be their best yet.
On Wednesday night, September 28th the
band brought their Southern Rock show to the stage of Harley Davidson on Chrome Drive in Greenville, SC. The weather was perfect. It was a great night to rock.

The band does a great job of paying tribute
to former lead guitarist Steve “Bucky” Harvey, who passed away a couple of years ago. They have been performing some of the songs he wrote, even including a couple of them on their new album.
The show kicked off with one of those very
songs, “Long Gone,” a song Silver Travis was per- forming as far back as 1982 that has been given a whole new life in the 21st century. Following on the heels of that one, the band hit it hard with yeat another Steve Harvey song, this one co-writ- ten by Michael Buffalo Smith, called “Everyday Grind,” one of the first songs Smith and Harvey co-wrote during a 2-day period that netted ten songs.
