Travis Bolt made his television debut today on Live With Kelly and Mark, delivering a soulful performance of “Blues At My Funeral” from his debut album ‘Burning Bridges’, out now via Gravel Road. The hosts summed it up simply: “Turn the volume up because this song is a banger.” Tonight, Bolt performs at Sagebrush in Austin as part of A Night of Good Country, a free entry event hosted by Bluegrass Situation alongside Shakey Graves, Tyler Halverson, Aubrie Sellers, and Tenille Townes.
‘Burning Bridges’ is produced by Jason Burt (Leon Bridges, John Mayer, Paul Cauthen) and blends raw country songwriting with urgent rock guitars and pounding drums, all anchored by Bolt’s deep, unflinching voice. At the center of the album is a story of perseverance rooted in lived experience. Diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome as a child, Bolt discovered that playing guitar quieted his symptoms and became his lifeline. “It’s the best medicine I’ve found,” he says. “And I’ve taken all of them.” He has since taken that story to Washington, D.C., speaking with lawmakers on behalf of the Tourette Association of America.
Bolt first broke through with independently released “Never Tried Cocaine,” which went viral on TikTok and amassed over 45 million streams, landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, and opened doors to opening slots for Paul Cauthen at the Ryman Auditorium and a European run at Country to Country Festival. With ‘Burning Bridges’ now out and a television debut behind him, the East Texas singer-songwriter is moving fast. Listen here.
