Travis Edmonson (born in Long Beach, California, USA on 23 September 1932 – 9 May 2009) was an American folk singer, who performed both as a soloist and in the group Bud & Travis.
Edmonson did not graduate from the University of Arizona, but he "became locally famous for serenading college girls" and met first his wife while studying there. In the early 1950s, Edmonson served in the United States Army, before beginning his musical career in San Francisco. After singing solo, he joined a quartet, the Gateway Singers with Louis Gottlieb. In 1958, he left the Gateway Singers to form Bud and Travis along with Bud Dashiell, a friend of his brother.
Edmonson suffered a stroke in 1982, after which he experienced health problems and performed little until his death.
