Pat Travers began playing in bands early in his teens; his first bands were the Music Machine (not to be confused with the Californian psychedelic/garage band of the same name), Red Hot, and Merge, which played in clubs in the Quebec area.
While performing with Merge, he was noticed by rock artist Ronnie Hawkins, who invited Travers to perform with him. In his early twenties Travers moved to London and signed a recording contract with the Polydor label. His self-titled debut album was released in 1976. By 1978, he had put together the Pat Travers Bnad. The band toured heavily, also supporting Rush on their Drive til You Die tour.
The band then released a live album entitled Live! Go for What You Know, which featured the hit “Boom Bom (Out Go The Lights).” By 1980 they again hit the charts wth “Snortin’ Whiskey.” A co-headlining tour with Rainbow followed, and the two bands performed in major arenas across North America.
1982’s Black Pearl album include the hit single “I La La La Love You. In 1984 he released the album Hot Shot,which was followed by a Greatest Hits album, his last release on Polydor.
Travers has continued to tour and record through the years, much to the delight of his loyal fan base who call themselves “Hammer Heads.”
