BIOGRAPHY
Blues guitarist Travis Haddix was born on November 26, 1938. A native of
Walnut, MS, Haddix was inspired in his early years by B.B. King's
broadcasts on WDIA out of Memphis.
In Cleveland, OH, where he has lived since 1959, Haddix developed into a fine modern bluesman and songwriter with an original and soulful touch.
While he had been developing his chops in front of rowdy audiences at juke joints and blues festivals throughout the '70s, he didn't begin his recording career in earnest until he signed with the Ichiban label in 1988.

While he had been developing his chops in front of rowdy audiences at juke joints and blues festivals throughout the '70s, he didn't begin his recording career in earnest until he signed with the Ichiban label in 1988.
His stylish and poppy albums Wrong Side Out (1988), Winners Never Quit
(1991), and What I Know Right Now (1992), were, incredibly, released while
Haddix continued his job as a postal worker in Ohio.
As his popularity continued to grow, he began traveling to Europe several
times a year and won numerous blues awards in both Europe and the States.
Haddix resumed recording in 1994 with Big Ole Goodun' and also began to
develop his interest in other areas of the entertainment business
including the formation of his own publishing company and his own record
label Wann-Sonn Records.
In 2002, Haddix even became an author, releasing Caught in the Middle, a
book of his musical memoirs. A quote Travis Haddix uses to close out many
of his performances sums up his positive philosophical attitude: "I am the
best that I can be, and since no one else can be me, there's none
better."
