Consisting of songs written over a 10 year period, but forming a strong cohesive statement of hope and renewal, Back To Nowhere marks the fourth solo studio album from singer/songwriter Travis Dow. It was the final album released before a cross-country move (with fiance Katie Radebaugh) from Chicago to Portland. The album's title is both telling and ironic, since the move represented a return to nature and a simpler, slower way of life, and yet the new location is certainly a powerful and important "somwhere" in the lives of two people. A few of the tracks also refer to another 2006 change, Dow's exit from The Katie Todd Band, in which he spent five years as lead guitarist and accompanying vocalist. Several tracks also detail the somewhat strange and circuitous 3-year courtship between Dow and Radebaugh, culminating in the engagement and move to the West Coast. Ultimately, the album leaves the listener with a sense of a bright future glimpsed through still turbulent waters. Features Nathan Swanson (Cameron McGill) on Violin and Viola.
