Coming down from the mountains of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, Travis "Fatman" Barner has long entertained crowds throughout the Keystone State, performing at countless outdoor festivals, bluegrass jams and bars. After several years, this unique and iconic performer is taking his blend of old-timey music and acoustic rock and roll and releasing his debut record worldwide on Diesel Thunder Productions.
He's big; a jolly and lovable man with a raw look that belies a voice like an angel. When you see Fatman, it's hard to imagine what he sounds like--but when he opens his mouth to sing, all of that changes. Fatman is a simple musician, singing traditional folk songs from a simpler time--stories of war and love and broken hearts. He's a window to America's rich musical past--from folk to bluegrass, blues to rock.
His new album, a collection of old traditional tunes and several of his own, Pink Floyd inspired creations, "FRIENDS AND FAMILY" is the debut release for Fatman and on Philadelphia Label DIESEL THUNDER PRODUCTIONS. Produced by award-winning singer songwriter and national recording artist Dennis Magee Fallon (KATSU, LOWJACK), Fatman's new album is a tight, short and sweet collection that draws us into Fatman's simple, heartfelt world.
