Travis Stever (born November 25, 1978) is the lead/rhythm guitarist for Coheed and Cambria, a progressive rock band from New York.

Following his parent's divorce, Stever grew up in both Park Ridge, New Jersey and Nyack, New York.[1]

Coheed and Cambria

Travis Stever is a founding member of the band Coheed and Cambria which is named after the title characters in lead singer/guitarist Claudio Sanchez's story which is central to most of the band's albums.[2] Travis acts as a lead and rhythm guitarist in the band. Travis along with Claudio both share leads and solos in the band's music and will often switch back and forth in the "dueling guitar" style made popular in the 1970s.

Side projects

Stever is the lead guitarist and vocalist of a side project called Fire Deuce; an 80s style metal band who released "Children of the Deuce" in 2005. Stever has also embarked on a second non-Coheed project named Davenport Cabinet which released "Nostalgia In Stereo" in 2008, "Our Machine" in 2013 and "Damned Renegades" in 2014.[3]

Besides guitar, Travis plays other strings instruments such as lap steel, banjo, mandolin, and dobro. He is credited with these instruments on various tracks of Coheed albums and experiments with many of them on the Davenport Cabinet albums.
