"Hypnotizing psych folk...kinda like John Prine from outer space"
|
Travis Cyr is a creative force uniquely his own. His music is a rootsy mix of spacey folk and Americana balladry. Warmly gentle, vastly strong and intensely vivid. Flowing between delicately precise and aggressively percussive acoustic guitar work, washed in splashes of cosmic space and ancient delay and laced with honest and poetic lyrics. The resulting mix is highly original and can effortlessly take the listener on a sonic and emotional journey. He has played over 2,000 shows and released 15 albums of all original songs. He is the founder of the Arootsakoostik music festival, a visual artist and is currently editing a book of short stories.

PRESS
"An earnest storyteller with a gentle, nasal tenor, Cyr works in the mold of mid-career Dylan or Jackson Browne."
- Down East Magazine, Jan. 2022
"Travis Cyr has a gravity all his own, built on relentless playing across the state, a genuine and quiet charisma and kindness, and a string of nine heart-felt and elegantly executed albums. Cyr is muscular and crisp with his fingerpicking and delivery. You can always make out every note, every word, and they’re worth listening to for their wit and connectivity."
- Sam Pfeifle, Portland Phoenix, Dec. 2019
"An intense acoustic firestorm."
- Emily Burnham, Bangor Daily News, Nov. 2015
"Music was everywhere."
