Reach Provo - Reviews Braille"I have been impressed with Paul Travis for some time, and Braille only perpetuates this feeling. A brilliant album from a brilliant mind, I recommend the entire dozen tracks end up in everyone’s “rainy day” or “reflective” playlists."

Reach Provo"It’s funny to hear Provo singer/songwriter Paul Travis so self conscious. We fell in love with his music after hearing his stellar live set during the preliminary and final rounds of the Muse Music Songwriter Showdown last March. His Songs For Ruth is a great album in its own right, featuring intricate acoustic guitar parts, insight-fully introspective lyrics, arrangements involving string quartets and timpani, and Travis’ signature falsetto-heavy tenor vocals. The album is made all the more impressive when you factor in the age he was when he made it."

Ouch That Hertz - Review"Their voices mesh well together and wrap you in a warm blanket of harmony. I really hope these two continue to make music together and this isn’t just a one-off project, because they truly have something special here." -- Johnny Athey

Reach Provo - Songwriter Showdown 2016"Signed to Esque Records, Paul Travis knows who he is and what he does, and he does it dang well. In our Thursday night recap, we pointed out that Paul had a humble stage persona, with a style that hinted at a much more fearless personality. He began the last set of the night with a sincere, “Hi. Thanks for staying up late with me.” I thought this set would be more of the same from Thursday night, but boy, was I wrong. The first song was upbeat, energetic, and weird – a hypothetical story about a trip to hell and receiving a heart-breaking (but hilarious and relatable) message from his future love. It was absolutely amazing, and one of my favorites from him as a songwriter."
