A Little About Our Staff

Travis Foster, a native Californian, is known as one of the most prolific and successful classical and studio musicians in the US.   Travis has performed clarinet on nearly 300 major motions pictures and television shows including the last three installments of the famed Star Wars saga with John Williams, Toy Story 3 & 4, Frozen, The Mandalorian, The Simpsons, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and The Incredibles series. A respected educator, Travis is a full Professor in the Riverside Community College District of Southern California.  Mr. Foster has traveled the world for both business and pleasure. In every region he visits, he always makes sure to check out the “local” establishments, especially those places encompassing his love for sports, leisure, and great food. Since 2005, he has been “steeped” in the bar and restaurant world, getting to know the inner workings of some of the most well-known establishments in Palm Springs, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Travis has many old friends (and getting new ones by the minute!) in Red Wing and has traveled here several times over the last decade and is excited to have this project be his new adventure in life, sharing his love of sports and friendly competition and his thirst for great, casual food in an awesome environment.
