TRAVELER is a captivating, powerful, impacting band who’s music demands not only to be heard, but to be experienced. Mixing British/Euro-Rock and Indie-Pop, Traveler has been compared to such bands as U2 and Coldplay, but has developed a sound of their own.

Since Traveler’s inception in October, 2004, the band has gained tremendous exposure throughout the South, Midwest, and New York with numerous awards and recognition. With the release of their debut EP in May 2005 and a full length live album released in June 2006, Traveler has created a dedicated and growing fan base who agree that this is only the beginning of an epic story.

One story that speaks of the band's passion and drive is told by Traveler lead singer, Scotty Isaacs: "We're driving our van on a major highway toward Dallas, TX to play a show at Curtain Club (a well known venue in Dallas hot spot, Deep Ellum), when all the sudden something explodes under the hood. The smoke is so thick you can't see any cars behind us. The engine cuts out and we pull over as fast as we can. We bail out and find a fire raging throughout the engine and underneath the van!
Standing in awe of the flames eating our van, we try to get a couple of valuables out and realize that we have to get our trailer, with over $20,000 worth of equipment, off the van before the gas tank explodes. Choking on the smoke, Garth (the drummer) and I, get the trailer unhitched just under a minute before the van, with its 3/4 full gas tank, explodes! We watched our van and every dime the band had burn to the ground. Thank God we still have our instruments!
To make a very long story shorter, a friend who was with us had enough money to rent us a Uhaul truck and we hooked up and continued our journey to Dallas to play the show. That night was one of the most beautiful performances we've played yet, because that night we were playing for more than just the people in that club. We were playing for the fact that we were standing on that stage, playing our hearts out despite what had happened a few hours earlier... and that we were alive.
Even though we lost our van, all of our money, and a few more things inside, we still have what's most important to us. You see, this band... this idea we call, Traveler, isn't just a hobby to us. It's who we are. It's about what we believe. It's our passion. And through that, we hope we can continue to touch more and more people with our music. I guess we actually believe that old saying: You can’t loose if you don’t give up."
