The everpresent melancholy is a one-man act based out of Santa Clara, California, all comprising of vocals and guitar work performed by Travis, a twenty-something whose melodies and lyrics attempt to strike a chord with the emotions that reside in all of us, namely those of loss, but more importantly, hope. The name "the everpresent melancholy" refers to the underlying sadness that can linger from broken hopes, dreams, and relationships, even in the midst of the wide array of emotions we all feel. Out of this is borne acoustic guitar and vocal stylings often compared to Secondhand Serenade, Copeland, Jars of Clay, and Dashboard Confessional. Travis performs all the work on his recordings in his acoustically untreated bedroom, from writing, to recording, to mixing, to mastering, and maintains all the pages and processes devoted to putting his music out there. Currently Travis remains unsigned but is looking to eventually take his music to become a full time job and begin touring around the country. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Everpresent+Melancholy">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
