Travis Turpin's 45-year musical journey is a testament to his deep-rooted passion for music and family ties. Growing up surrounded by a musical backdrop, Travis, in the company of his four siblings and parents, became a versatile musician, proficient in multiple instruments. Together, they formed the Turpin Family Band, an ensemble that garnered attention from the U.S. government and secured a unique opportunity to perform in South Korea.
Following his graduation from the University of Nebraska, Travis went to New York City, collaborating with renowned figures such as Broadway legend Howard Keel, Country Music Hall of Famer Larry Gatlin, and choreographer Susan Stroman. His national Broadway tours showcased his talent in productions like "The Buddy Holly Story" (as the Big Bopper) and Frank Wildhorn's "The Civil War." Notably, he graced the stage in St. Louis' The Muny Theater, contributing memorable performances to classics like "My Fair Lady," "Evita," "Crazy For You," and "Oklahoma."
Travis's journey took a turn in the aftermath of the tragic events of 9/11. Adapting to the changing times, he crafted a headlining show tailored for cruise ship audiences. Drawing inspiration from his life and career, Travis has become a top-rated performer on the high seas, connecting with audiences around the globe for over two decades.
Beyond the limelight, Travis, affectionately known as "Travis of all trades," has successfully navigated the real estate landscape with Berkshire Hathaway in Iowa. A nod to his father's legacy, he also finds joy in a side career dedicated to woodworking projects. On weekends, you can catch Travis taking the stage around Iowa's Cedar Valley or collaborating with two of his sisters in The Turpin Trio, entertaining audiences in both Nebraska and Iowa.
Travis and his wife, Abby, have been married for 12 years and are blessed with a 7-year-old daughter named Reece.
