Travis Tritt’s albums, seven of which are certified platinum or higher, have led him to amass more than 30 million in career album sales, 2 Grammy awards, 4 CMA Awards, including CMA Horizon Award (now known as the New Artist Award); a Billboard Music Award for Top New Artist, an invitation to become a member of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry and a devoted fan base that has filled venues from coast-to-coast.  He is also dubbed one of the “The Class Of ’89,” which includes Country music superstars Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson – all of whom dominated the charts in the ‘90s.

Among his 11 studio albums and numerous charted singles are 5 #1s and 20 Top 10 hits, including “Help Me Hold On,” “Anymore,” “Can I Trust You With My Heart,” “Foolish Pride,” “Best Of Intentions,” “I’m Gonna Be Somebody,” “Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde,” “Here’s A Quarter,” “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive,” and more.

Travis Tritt was born on February 9, 1963 in Marietta, Georgia. He first took interest in music after his church’s Sunday school choir performed “Everything Is Beautiful.” At age 8, Travis taught himself how to play the guitar and regularly performed at his school and church. He began writing his own music in high school. Danny Davenport from Warner Bros. Records helped Travis to record his first demo album called Proud of the Country, which ultimately led to his first label deal with Warner Bros.

In 1990, Travis released his debut album Country Club which went platinum and included his first #1 single “Help Me Hold On.” In 1991, he released his second album It’s All About to Change. The album was his best-selling, going triple platinum, with all four singles reaching the top five on the Country chart: “Here’s a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)”, “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin'” (Grammy Award winner), “Anymore”, and “Nothing Short of Dying.” Two songs from the album appeared in the iconic film My Cousin Vinny.

In 1992, after the release of his third album T-R-O-U-B-L-E, which had his third #1 hit and went double platinum, Travis joined the Grand Ole Opry. In 1993, Travis and several other artists, including Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson, appeared on George Jones’ hit “I Don’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair.” Also in 1993, Travis covered the song “Take It Easy” for the Eagles’ tribute album Common Thread. The video for Travis’ cover was the first time that all members of The Eagles were together following their 1980 breakup and it precipitated the group’s reunion a few months later.

In 1994, he released his fourth album Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof, which had his fourth #1 hit and went double Platinum. In 1996, Travis released his fifth album The Restless Kid, which went platinum, and in 1998 he released No More Looking over My Shoulder, his sixth and final Warner album. In 2000, Travis signed with Columbia Records and released Down the Road I Go, which went platinum and included his fifth and final #1 single, “Best of Intentions.”

After two more album releases in 2002 and 2004, Travis left Columbia and signed to an independent label called Category 5 Records, where he released his tenth album called The Storm. His time at Category 5 was short-lived after allegations of Medicaid fraud were levied against the label’s founder. After the label folded, Travis filed suit and ultimately received ownership rights to The Storm. Travis self-distributed his music after that through his own record label called Post Oak, releasing three different live/compilation albums in 2016, 2019.
