Travis Stever (born November 25, 1978) is the lead guitarist for Coheed and Cambria, a progressive rock band from New York City.
Following his parents' divorce, Stever grew up in both Park Ridge, New Jersey, and Nyack, New York.
Travis Stever is a founding member of the band Coheed and Cambria, which is named after the title characters in lead singer-guitarist Claudio Sanchez's story which is central to most of the band's albums. Stever acts as a lead and rhythm guitarist in the band. He and Sanchez share leads and solos in the band's music and will often switch back and forth in the "dueling guitar" style made popular in the 1970s.
Stever is the lead guitarist and vocalist of a side project called Fire Deuce, a 1980s-style metal band who released "Children of the Deuce" in 2005. Stever has also embarked on a second non-Coheed project named Davenport Cabinet which released "Nostalgia In Stereo" in 2008, "Our Machine" in 2013 and "Damned Renegades" in 2014.
Besides guitar, Stever plays other stringed instruments such as lap steel, banjo, mandolin, and dobro. He is credited with these instruments on various tracks of Coheed albums and experiments with many of them on the Davenport Cabinet albums.
He uses a guitar talk box, as seen in Neverender Box Set.
He contributed to The Prize Fighter Inferno's My Brother's Blood Machine by playing lap steel on "Wayne Andrews, The Old Beekeeper".
