Traveler

web site: www.scottjefferstraveler.comTRAVELER: an innovative, new fusion of World Music combined with all the power of a full blown rock band. Scott Jeffers is Traveler's composer, lead performer and band leader; his vision is to blend elements of ancient ethnic music with Rock. Captivating sound of violin, oud, Middle Eastern percussion along with ethnic instruments collected during Scott Jeffers’ journeys dominate the concerts. The compositions range from fiery through playful songs to heart-wrenching ballads inspired while traveling on treks across the harsh deserts of Jordan, Egypt and across the contrasting landscape of the Emerald Isle, on the sand dunes of Morocco, at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in birdsong-filled forests of Transylvania, in the rain forests of Malaysia, touring the ancient amphitheaters in Turkey. The real magic of a Traveler concert is in the connection the band makes with the audience. TRAVELER, the ROCK BAND has been a favorite headlining act at festivals in Canada, the US and Turkey. ACOUSTIC TRAVELER is a returning favorite of the spectacular Las Noches de las Luminarias festival in the US.
