From Covington, Kentucky. The Pentecostal Travelers comprised guitarist Pete Nantz, better known for his rockabilly platter on the Clix label (see Rockin' Country Style) and possibly James Walter Penny. Other members are unknown
Pete Nantz first (?) recorded in 1955 with Luke Thompson and Jesse Kidd on Excellent Records (he is the credited vocalist on the "You Promised My Heart" side). After his Clix recordings in 1956, he became a Pentecostal preacher. Backed by The Travelers Quartet, he released at least two sacred EPs on the Jewel Records imprint in 1967, just before his untimely death.
Orville (Pete) Nantz died in December 1967 at General Hospital, Cincinnati. He was 37 yr. old.
