songwriter in Nashville before he released his debut album, Another

Ozark Mountain bank robbers – worked as a ranch hand for Loretta Lynn.

leader at Beth Moore’s Living Proof Live conferences and has recorded
several solo projects, including Found, Ring the Bells, the Dove awardwinning Jesus Saves Live (his second Dove award, and one of his sixteen
nominations) and When the Stars Burn Down, which debuted at number
1 on the Billboard Praise and Worship charts. He released his first book,
Surprised By worship: Discovering the Presence of God Where You Least
Expect It, in 2010. Travis’ most recent honor came from Belmont University, who awarded him the 2013 Encore Award – given to a School of
Music alum for achieving excellence in the field of classical music.
Masters of Soul
Mike’s ever-growing popularity has garnered him many prestigious
awards and honors, including being the only magician in history to win

the Year, Best performing Artist of the Year, Best Novelty Performer of
the Year AND he was voted America’s Favorite Mystifier on NBC’s hit TV
