About Travis Denning:
A native of Warner Robins, Georgia, singer/songwriter and Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning first made waves with the release of his Top 40 debut single "David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs," which has also been certified Gold by the RIAA. He celebrated his first No.1 and Platinum certified single with the "shadowy" (Rolling Stone) "After A Few," from Denning's debut EP Beer's Better Cold, which debuted in the Top 20 of Billboard's Country Albums chart. Last summer Denning released the EP, Might As Well Be Me. Crafted for the stage with all of Denning's hard-charging energy and mischief-making signatures intact, the collection also captures an artist maturing. His most recent track released, "Buy A Girl A Drink," is a candlelit confession that features Denning's tender lyricism and marks the most first-week streams of Denning's songs to date. Denning's songwriting extends to other artists - he has co-written for Michael Ray, Chase Rice, Jason Aldean, Justin Moore, and he has a cut on the soon to be released Morgan Wallen album, "Devil Don't Know." Denning has previously headlined his own "Heartbeat Of A Small Town Tour," toured with Brother's Osborne, Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Alan Jackson, Riley Green, Dierks Bentley and Jake Owen and he is currently out on the road headlining and playing festivals throughout the summer.

With almost 720 million streams worldwide, Denning has been spotlighted for his head-turning sound and is making his mark within the industry, being previously selected as one of CRS New Faces, an Opry NextStage recipient and a CMA KixStart Artist. Denning is in the studio recording his next project. For more information, visit travisdenning.com.
