The Travis Transcripts


© June Moore

On June 15, 1999, Travis DeVall sat down at his computer. At the same time, a group of women from the The Elvis Presley Chat Club sat poised and ready to begin their questions.

Here are the transcripts of that night.

Connie: Travis, how long have you been performing Elvis ?

Travis: Four years now.

June: where did you first appear as an Elvis Tribute artist ?

Travis: In 1994 at a business convention on a whim I had never done it before..rented a suit as a gag. I thought it would liven up our company party. Everyone thought they hired a pro and it went on from there.

Connie: What did you do before performing as Elvis ?

Travis: I was in the Army, stationed at FT. Knox, Kentucky.

Ginger: Did you ever get to see Elvis live in concert?

Travis: No. I didn't get to see Elvis in concert..wish I could have. I remember watching the Elvis:Aloha from Hawaii, and his Elvis in Concert in 1977.

Laurie: Where are you originally from, Travis?

Travis: I'm originally from Iowa.

Cheryl: Do you still live there now ?

Travis: Yes I live in Iowa, its nice to be centrally located in the US for shows. I would love to move to Florida, but it's too far away for shows.

Connie: How old are you Travis ?

Travis: I'm 31.

Janey: Do you do all three eras ?

Travis: Yes all three.

Deb: Which era is your favorite one to do ?

Travis: I really enjoy the Vegas era..it has allot of power and I enjoy emulating Elvis' power on stage.

Janey: Do you wear the black leather outfit, Travis ?

Travis: Yes I wear the black leather on stage and on my Travis Web site. .

Deb: The Harley entrance. Is that just for the 68 Comeback that you do ?

Travis: Yes the Harley is for the 68 Comeback.

Cheryl: What's your favorite song, Travis ?

Travis: Well, I would say out of 750 plus songs, I love the ballads best. I like Hurt, but for fast ones I love Polk Salad Annie.

Ginger: Do you watch films of Elvis concerts to move like him ?

Travis: Yes, I watch all of the Elvis movies and concert footage.

Sherry: Are you married ?

Travis: Yes I'm married happily for 12 years now. I have two boys, ages 11 & 8 years.

Sherry: I was wondering how a significant other would deal with
