Travis Gore

Travis Gore is an orchestral musician and recording artist whose musical roots began in the Chicago and Atlanta areas, listening to his father’s band rehearse in the family basement. At the age of ten, he discovered a forgotten electric bass tucked away in a closet—an encounter that ignited a lifelong dedication to making music.

For nearly twenty years, Travis has held a position with the multiple Grammy Award–winning Seattle Symphony. He also maintains a private teaching studio in South Seattle and is an active educator whose past faculty appointments include San Diego State University and Seattle University. In addition, he is frequently invited to guest teach and present masterclasses at leading musical institutions both nationally and internationally.

Travis has performed with some of the country’s most respected orchestras, including the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Atlanta Symphony, and Minnesota Orchestra, and previously held a tenured position with the San Diego Symphony. As a studio musician, his work can be heard on major film and video game soundtracks such as The Men Who Stare at Goats, Valkyrie, Halo, Dragon Age, and more.

 An accomplished chamber and crossover artist, Travis has appeared alongside highly sought-after ensembles including the Grammy Award–winning Parker Quartet and the St. Petersburg Quartet. He is also active in the indie and alternative music scenes, performing on upright and electric bass with artists such as Bryan John Appleby, Hey Marseilles, and Wall of Ears, where he has contributed as both a writer and collaborator.  He writes for his own progressive alternative project, Feeds On Majesty as a vocalist and guitarist. A new album under the Feeds On Majesty moniker is currently available, with an ambient jazz recording slated for release soon in collaboration with other regional artists.

 Outside of music, Travis is an avid Pacific Northwest cold-water surfer and lives in the greater Seattle area with his wife and children.
