Haddix, Travis "moonchild"
Daylight At Midnight
Since cutting six well-received cds from 1988 -1994 on the Ichiban label, Travis "Moonchild" Haddix has released 11 cds on his Wann-Sonn Records label. He has performed in 17 countries, and is popular in Scandinavia and Western Europe. Travis is a prolific songwriter adept at a hook and a groove. As a teenager in Mississippi, he drew early inspiration from listening to B.B. King on WDIA radio in Memphis. In a 2005 feature story, Living Blues Magazine said: "Haddix delivers his fables of mischief, mayhem and mercy in a smooth but sinewy baritone, backed by arrangements that meld aggression with horn-leavened soul. His leads, influenced by the string-bending Kings yet back-alley raw, are both incendiary and insinuating, a blend of uptown and down home raucousness, shot through with sensual fervor, calculated to please listeners and dancers from the burbs as well as the hood?".
