Traveler - Out of the Dust (2019)

Biography
TRAVELER: 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 the treks across the harsh deserts of Jordan and 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. A 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 throughout Canada, the US and Turkey. ACOUSTIC TRAVELER has been a returning favorite of the spectacular Las Noches de las Luminarias festival throughout December

SCOTT JEFFERS SOLO concert: original compositions in the frame of a one-man world music show case performance using exotic instruments as well as a stompbox invention with Moroccan Karkaba castanets on a hinge system to provide a heavy downbeat Groove.
