What the folks have to say about Honey Creek Pass:
“Travis Wackerly and Honey Creek Pass’ recent performance at the Greater Oklahoma Bluegrass Music Society (GOBMS) was not only entertaining, but a showcase of bluegrass talent. Great vocals and instrumentation were complimented by the precise and versatile fiddle work of the young, up and coming Travis Wackerly. A joy to listen to!” - Melba Arnold. Program Chairman and Public Relations Coordinator of the Greater Oklahoma Bluegrass Music Society www.gobms.org

Kevin played rhythm guitar and electric bass in his church orchestra and sang tenor with “One Accord” for 4 years. He began playing the upright bass in August 1999 with the gospel group “Solid Rock Band.” No stranger to the stage, Kevin developed a comedy act and appeared/performed at the Oklahoma City Civic Center. He also provided comedy relief with his“Verdel” country comedy character, along with The Indian River Boys, during the 1988 Great State Fair of Oklahoma. Kevin played upright bass on Travis Wackerly’s latest recording project, “Where Dad Left Off.”

It wasn't too long after turning 14 Travis began playing guitar in Christian Rock bands, but the fiddle was the passion and instrument of choice. The original music of Travis is best represented through his band, Travis Wackerly and Honey Creek Pass, which consist of bluegrass instrumentation and tight vocals that is sure to tickle your ears.
