Progressive instrumental rock fans, take note! Here’s a show for you or anyone who likes rock music that balks at the tried-and-true verse-chorus-verse structure. Travis Larson Band, a trio that features Larson on guitar, Dale Moon on drums and Jennifer Young on bass, is based out of San Luis Obispo, California and has been honing their impressive chops together for about 15 years. In 2013, they released their sixth studio album, Shift, and this summer they’ve hit the road in support of it. On Aug. 15, 2014, you can catch them for their first-ever show at Shine (1400 E Street, Sacramento). The show will get underway at 8 p.m. and carry a $10 cover charge. For those of you who may think an instrumental rock fusion act such as Travis Larson Band is probably over your head, think again. Larson and company craft ridiculously catchy, concise songs that shred. For examples of this, check out the title track off Shift or their wicked live performance of “No Fate” on the band’s official YouTube page. Also performing Aug. 15 at Shine will be Grammy Award-winning producer/guitar virtuoso Larry Mitchell, which is sort of an embarrassment of riches.
