Travis Tritt is a country music singer originally from Marietta, Georgia who rose to prominence in 1990 with his debut album 'Country Club'. Tritt did not find his entry into the music industry to be particularly easy, neither of his parents expected him to make a success of himself as a musician. However thanks to the continued support of Warner Bros executive Danny Davenport in 1996 the young songwriter began recording demos that were passed on to other important names within the record label. Thanks to Davenport's encouragement Tritt signed a contract in 1997 to record six songs with the label.
He proved Warner Bros was right to take a chance on the young musician as his first three singles were all huge Country chart hits. 'Help Me Hold On', his second release scored Tritt his first number one, he has scored four more number ones over his career and a huge selection of top five hits. He has also topped the Canadian Country charts six times and his releases were equally successful there.
After the success of his first album, the single 'The Whiskey Ain't Working' from his second album won the musician his first Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. In 1999 he won again in the same category for the single 'Same Old Train' which featured Marty Stuart and a variety of other musicians. The majority of his albums now hold a platinum selling certificate and he has sold millions worldwide and has won four Country Music Association awards.
"Travis and his band were outstanding. The fact that he’s been playing some of these songs for over 40 years and still sings them and plays to the audience like it’s the first time is so awesome. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to."Travis Tritt was the main act at the Whitewater Amphitheater with guests Pryor & Lee. They continue across the United States, Canada, and Europe with the last stop at the Country Festival Seljord 2022 in Fylke, Norway on July 12, 2022.
