Mother
Hubbard has been rockin' throughout Central Ohio since 1998. Formed by
lead guitarist and vocalist Travis Brown, Mother Hubbard is known for
their unique styles and large following. Mother Hubbard is a well
seasoned band, playing major festivals such as the Easy Riders Biker
Rodeo and has opened up for acts like Jackyl, Georgia Satellites,
Charlie Daniels, and traveled as far as New York to perform.
Travis,
the founder/guitar/vocal, is a home grown, self taught guitar player.
Influenced by such greats as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy
Paige, Angus Young, Eric Clapton, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash to
name a few. Born and raised in Pickaway county Travis is all about the
music. A fondness for Fender Stratocaster's, Tele's, Les Paul's and SG's
are the things that makes his world go round. Some of Travis' favorite
songs are Layla, Ten Years Gone, Ride On, Watchin the Wheels, Bell
Bottom Blues, Life by the Drop and so many more we couldn't count. He
has an appreciation for a time past when guitar players were guitar
players and music was music. Vocally influenced by the likes of Jim
Morrison, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash.
With an arsenal of vintage guitars and a heart pounding 100 watt
Marshall stack brings the tone of a bygone area. Travis grew up with a
broad appreciation for music. Especially fond of the blues, classic
heavy rock of the late 60's early 70's and appreciation for outlaw
country.
Jeff, a long time friend of Travis' and a mutual music fanatic, is
Mother Hubbard's bassist. Jeff has an almost identical taste in music as
Travis and has been around the music scene for many years. He is a
seasoned vet with an ear for rhythm and good harmony vocals. Jeff hails
from the same area as Travis (Pickaway county) and has similar goals
leaning towards original music. Jeff's unique style of the "one finger
is enough" approach is something to behold. Jeff can play more with one
finger than most can with five. Jeff's old work horse 90's Fender Jazz
Bass (with authentic bar room discoloration) is his main axe. He is
heavily influenced by such bands as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Led
Zeppelin, SRV, Creedence and many more. With a powerful 500 watt Hartke
stack and his trusty Jazz, Jeff can rumble the house.
James, also a friend of Travis', is Mother Hubbard's drummer. James
cut his teeth on Mother Hubbard. He has been with the group since 2006.
James has the rare ability to hold down a solid groove and provide
excellent backup harmonies. James is a connoisseur of The Beatles and
The Animals and is a true fan of many genres of music. James is
originally from Nebraska and luckily for Mother Hubbard, relocated to
Columbus. An easy going, general good guy to be around, James has
"goodfellas" written all over him. He is an aggressive drummer with a
talent for off beat funk and blues. James prefers Paiste cymbals and
heavy sticks. James' musical taste is diverse and eclectic. James puts
the big boom in Mother Hubbard.
Mother Hubbard is an experience to behold live. The band will be
embarking on an album of all original material. If you would like to see
a band that can get your heart pounding, take you back to an era of
great music and get your feet moving, there is only one choice.........
