JT Trawick 3rd generation Ozark musician and entertainer brings traditionals and originals.

Known for his smooth, clear voice and authentic phrasing, Jonathan “JT”
Trawick continues a rich tradition of singing from deep within the Ozark hills.
Whether singing a classic such as I Wonder Where You Are Tonight, his
Grandpa’s Yellow Leaves of Autumn or his very own Boston Town, JT is sure to
deliver.
Raised in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Conway, Arkansas, JT began
playing guitar at 19 years of age. His Dad and Grandpa, both Arkansas State
Fiddle Champions and reputed musicians passed on the music and soon, JT was
an in-demand rhythm guitarist at local and regional fiddle contests, square
dances and jams. It was during this time that JT recorded the album,
Crosmer/Trawick with Jeremy and Charlotte Crosmer. Upon moving to
Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2006, JT began finding a home for his mandolin playing
and singing. He joined forces with Derek Linn and Julie Russell to form The
Hobknobbers which quickly gained acclaim locally and regionally. JT worked with
several northwest Arkansas based groups during this time including Shannon
Wurst and Allison Williams and the Hot Ash Stringband. His first western swing
dance band, The Western Fling began performing regularly in the northwest
Arkansas area. In 2013, JT moved back to the Pacific Northwest where he was
born and teamed up with National Champion Fiddler, Aarun Carter. In January of
2014, they were selected to record Volume 1 of the Deep End Sessions, a project
produced by David Bunn. David says of the project, “..we're gathering a collection
of old-time music from some of the finest musicians today in the tradition.” The
project has been featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times as well as
The Huffington Post. 2014 also marked the beginning of his western swing dance
band, Well Swung. Their first release (October 2015), a cover of the Bob Wills
classic, Ida Red was voted Top 5 in the Western Swing Song category of the
Academy of Western Artists Willie Awards. Recently, JT & Rowdy Mountain, a
new bluegrass outfit was unveiled. Be on the lookout for local and regional
performances.
