Travis is celebrating the digital release of Rise – an album that brings together some of the rock/pop musician’s most conscious songs.
Rise: The Conscious Collection showcases 13 tracks from his four releases over the past 10 years – Trips Between Worlds, Signals, It’s Just You and Your Little Trick.
A number of older tracks on Rise have been digitally remastered and come together with newer material but all were handpicked for their focus on consciousness.

Well, I’m back in the studio doing up some demos with the hope of recording again very soon
After welcoming a new little girl to our family in February, I have plenty of songwriting inspiration!
I’ve also sent a song to a great Australian songwriter for him to consider for his next album and he likes it so we’ll wait to hear more on that soon 🙂

Thanks to ABC Radio in Perth, Western Australia for this review and David Weber in particular.

Travis Caudle’s tight six song EP Your Little Trick is easy to like, it’s full of driving rock with a country tinge; only to be expected from a recording with top notch Nashville musos.
With the collective that’s on board, quality is virtually guaranteed, and certainly delivered.
The WA boy’s playing with people who’ve played with some of the biggest names in the business; Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, and Stevie Nicks to name just four.
That’s range.
The production team has work with Quincy Jones, Fall Out Boy, Jewel and Yothu Yindi, among a range of others under its belt.
That’s a whole lotta range!
‘Outta My Head’ starts off like an REM outtake, before Caudle’s distinctive vocal pulls matters together through a Mellencamp growl and a strong sense of melody.
‘Something’s Gotta Happen’ courses on a keen, lyrical guitar line and a euphoric chorus; matters slow down for the reflective ‘Wide Open’ on which Caudle shows off his pipes.
‘Back To You’ has the kind of rootsy rock sound that Foo Fighters have tended towards in recent times, with exciting instrumental colours, and ‘Heart & Soul’ is as clear-eyed and direct as the title suggests.
The production on the latter track is notable for its sensitivity.
The closer ‘Never Quite Enough’ has some Cure-ish guitar and wonderful piano, and allows room for more excellent singing.
The overall vibe is something like The Replacements, if they were more together, or Ryan Adams, if he were still the kind of guy who wanted to churn out hits, or even songs which might get played on the radio.
This should be– album please, Mr Caudle!

The weather’s warming up here in my hometown of Perth, Western Australia and that means I’m busy playing lots of shows.
There are plenty of opportunities to come down and hear me play so hopefully, if you’re in town, I may see you soon.
Other than that, we’re planning the release of the first single off my new EP pretty soon.
The song will be ‘Outta My Head’ – a rock song about the mad pursuit of external success.

August 2013
Well, I had a few weeks off to recover from getting home (and a cold that saw me lose my singing voice) and I’m now well and truly back on home turf (in Perth, Western Australia) and ready to play!
I have some shows in and around Perth over late August/September and return to Western Australia’s famous Margaret River wine region too.
Later in September, I head to the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie in outback Western Australia for Race Round – a horse racing extravaganza that draws people from all over the country.
While there are still no firm dates for releasing my EP, plans are underway to get a taster track out in September.
The EP will definitely feature a rock version of the song Hear You Say which you can view in acoustic form on Youtube.

May 2013
Three months in Nashville have gone fast and I’m just about to head out of Music City to finish up my first US tour for 2013.
Mid May will see me return to Cleveland, Ohio then head back to New York for late May and June.
Massachussetts and Pennsylvania are also on the tour agenda, as is New Jersey.
My time in Nashville has revolved around getting out and recording a new EP with one of Australia’s most celebrated producers, Mark Moffatt, who has been based in Music City for more than a decade.
There’s no release date for the EP as yet, but plans are underway. Stay tuned.

I’m really excited to announce that I’ve just found our I’ve won a national grant that will allow me to spend three months living, networking and making music in Nashville from February next year.
The $15,000 Nashville Songwriter Residency grant was awarded by the Australia Council for the Arts – the Australian Government’s arts funding and advisory body – and helps cover my travel, accommodation and living costs.
The residency is being facilitated by renowned Australian musician and producer Mark Moffatt who has been based in Nashville for more than 15 years and has worked with the likes of Keith Urban, Neil & Tim Finn, the Divinyls, Slim Dusty, Ross Wilson, Yothu Yindi, and Mondo Rock.
I’m also hoping to head into the studio as part of the residency.
I was lucky enough to get chosen as one of two recipients out of 89 musicians who applied for the grant from across Australia. Thanks heaps to the Australia Council!

The latest news from my camp is that I’ve just released a double album that also features four newly-recorded songs.
I flew to Sydney to record three new original songs – Silent Guide, Ohio and I Must Be On My Way – as well as my version of Leonard Cohen’s much-covered Hallelujah.
The tracks form part of a double album that includes Trips Between Worlds – the record released by my former band The Woodenelves in 2006 – and Signals, my 2009 solo effort, both produced by ARIA-nominated producer Tim Powles, the drummer for The Church.
The new acoustic songs were recorded by David Skeet, formerly of The Venetians, at his Darlinghurst studio.
The new songs can be heard online at www.myspace.com/littledollstudios and bought from iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/acoustic-ep/id519922780
