Lehigh Valley Arts Podcast

In this unique episode, Ben explores the world of The Fellowship of Love with William H. Travis. The main interview portion of this episode was recorded at Elmwood Park in Bethlehem, and the live-music recording as well as supplemental interviews with friends and collaborators were recorded on July 27, 2025, live at the Compact Disc Center for the very first "Ruby" vinyl release show.

William H. Travis (AKA Travis Hobbie) is a singer/songwriter from the Lehigh Valley. Travis is a local singer/songwriter who has performed  in and around the Lehigh Valley, in both solo shows and in groups. Most recently, he has been performing alongside Alex Luquet, Rebecca Nunes, John Morgan Kimock, and Justin Mazer. Currently, he is in the process of rolling out his newest album, "Ruby" on vinyl.

You can find William H. Travis on Instagram, Facebook, Bandcamp, his website, YouTube, and (begrudgingly) on Spotify & Apple Music.

There is a suggested donation of $10 for those attending the concert. Additionally, there will be a limited edition version of "Ruby" along with posters and art by Miki Tamura.
