Travis Thompson Live @Showbox Market 9/20/19

Second time seeing young Travis do his thing and good for him on his second time headlining a show. Showbox Market is the Historical live music spot easy to get to in Downtown Seattle. I chose the VIP table option which if you buy tickets early usually you can get a spot with reserved seating and an excellent view. Travis had his family in the same area who were all very nice folks to sit next to. His new album Reckless Endangerment has a different bolder sound to it that his other albums which still rings true to who he is and what he represents. Which is a small town kid from Burien representing Ambaum BLVD. The album cover he used is a flipped over car with him pouring out a 40oz sitting on a lawn chair. Original as fuck if you ask me. This is a very humble guy you can spot him through the West Seattle and Burien area just hangin with his people or at the Skatepark. He makes a point between sets to thank the audience and remind them how happy he is to be there. His music is rap but not gangster rap or talking about exotic cars and random shit that isn’t him. Rather his lyrics are of his life experiences, having fun with his friends and dreams of making it to the top to share his empire with his friends and family. So when you hear his lyrics they are catchy with great beats in the background. Check out young Travis when you can because these $25 shows won’t last long with his talent.

Travis Thompson Live @Showbox Market 12/21/18

Young 21yr old kid coming straight out of Burien, WA and rep’n the street Ambaum harrrd. I can relate because I represent West Seattle to the fullest so be proud of where you came from no matter what it looked like then or now. This guy has great lyrics and isn’t faking to be someone he is not. Even makes jokes in his lyrics of stealing costco samples and riding the bus with his friends. Yet also dreams of taking care of his parents if he ever makes it big. I have ran into this dude several times around town and at shows, I have tried to get connected with him to help put him in shows along side others I know but he does the “talk to my manager thing” so hopefully they know something I don’t know because this was the first time he headlined a show since being around years prior. He’s great live and good for him for performing at an historical venue known as the Showbox Market. The showbox has great vantage points, 2 bars on each side and good sound quality inside. It was rumored that this venue is potentially set to be demolished so hopefully that doesn’t happen.
