Concert by Kurt Travis, singer-songwriter and former frontman of Dance Gavin Dance, at the El Corazon rock club in Seattle.
Kurt Travis plays El Corazon on Friday, October 30, 2026, at 7 PM. He's a singer-songwriter from Scottsdale, Arizona, and Sacramento, California, with a vocal range that pulls from post-hardcore, progressive rock, and indie pop. If you've followed the post-hardcore scene over the last couple of decades, you've likely run into his name before. He first gained recognition fronting Dance Gavin Dance and A Lot Like Birds, and later fronted Royal Coda, Push Over, and Gold Necklace before building a following as a solo artist.
These days he's working on his own material. His solo albums, Everything Is Beautiful and There's a Place I Want to Take You, lean on a melodic style that blends intricate hooks with raw emotional depth. He's often cited as an influential figure in the modern post-hardcore scene, so this is a chance to hear him stripped of the full-band arrangements he's known for. The set is his own, with him as the sole feature of the night.
