Travis Johnson

Imagine the standard lounge pianist, but with a guitar. My instrument gives me the opportunity to transition between the tunes of Country Road and All of Me. I accept requests from guests and love to engage with a group if the occasion calls for it.

I can show up as a solo guitarist, or come prepared as a duo or trio. I have all of my own professional gear to fill small and large spaces.

I began studying music at the age of seven with an ukulele as well as practicing simple piano tunes. After his eighth birthday, he studied the guitar and became an accomplished student in the Portland Guitar Society and regularly performed at their monthly open-mic.
Pretty soon, I was traveling up to Seattle, WA, twice a month to take lessons until I was accepted into the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and then later finished my musical studies at The University of Texas at Austin Butler School of Music.

I have enjoyed lessons from great guitarists such as Peter Zisa, Michael Partington, David Tanenbaum, and Adam Holzman. I have enjoyed master classes from Ana Vidovic, Jeremy Jouve, Marcin Dylla, Judicael Perroy, Gabriel Bianco, William Kanengeiser, Martha Masters, David Russel, Oscar Ghiglia, and Raphael Smits.

I am currently teaching, composing, and performing around the Pacific Northwest at open-mics, schools, recitals, and through my live-stream practice sessions.

Just show me where to sit for an acoustic set.
If you want to fill a larger space with amplification, show me where to plug in.
All I need is a power supply.
