travis-tritt — RoadyGoat Artist Profile

Did You Know

• Got his first guitar at age 8 and taught himself to play — he never learned to read music.
• In 4th grade he performed "King of the Road" for his class and got invited to play every classroom in the school.
• His first wife discouraged music, so he took a job distributing heating and air conditioning equipment in Marietta.
• Was the only country star of his era to skip the cowboy hat, leaning into a gutsy Southern rock outlaw image instead.
• His music video for "Take It Easy" reunited the feuding Eagles after 13 years apart — launching their Hell Freezes Over tour.
• Glenn Frey and Don Felder hadn't spoken in years until Tritt personally convinced them to appear in his video together.
• The Tritt family formerly owned much of northeastern Cobb County, GA — roads, neighborhoods, and a school bear their name.
• Roy Acuff put his arm around Tritt backstage at the Opry and said "Son, we want to see you back here more often."
• His first song "Spend a Little Time" was written about a girlfriend who had just broken up with him in high school.
• Worked as a furniture store clerk and supermarket bagger before a bandmate convinced him to quit his day job for music.
