The Infamous Stringdusters’ bassist Travis Book announced his Travis Book Happy Hour livestream series beginning at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Presented by the Americana Vibes label and streaming on Facebook Live from The Grey Eagle in Asheville, North Carolina the series will feature special guests including Greensky Bluegrass’ Anders Beck, Nicki Bluhm, Book’s Infamous Stringdusters band mate Andy Falco and more.

Book launched his Happy Hour concept in June 2020 with the help of longtime collaborator Sarah Siskind. Over the course of 10 episodes, Book welcomed guests like Steep Canyon Rangers’ Mike Guggino and Barrett Smith, Lindsay Lou and Fruition’s Mimi Naja among others.

Travis detailed the series in a statement. Read his words below:

I started The Travis Book Happy Hour in response to the changes that swept through the entertainment industry in the spring of 2020. I needed to make music, to do something different, to reinvent myself, in a sense. I was looking for the best way to serve the music community and grow creatively and realized the opportunity was there, at The Grey Eagle in Asheville, to do something different; a variety show with musical guests, interviews, and conversation about matters of being or what to do with ourselves this life. It’s been a revelation to make music and converse with my friends and dig deeper roots here in my community in Western North Carolina. Season 2, which starts January 6th, is packed with another round of phenomenal guests that I’m thrilled to share the stage with.
