Travis Ballenger is a professional benefit auctioneer who has helped raise millions for nonprofits. To pay tribute to the craft, Travis created “Rhythm of the Auctioneer”—a track set entirely to the rhythmic cadence of a live auction chant.

Engineered down to the exact second, the song’s duration matches the average time it takes to sell a single lot at live auction. Lyric lines like “a wink of an eye” capture authentic insider nuances—nodding to experienced bidders who lock eyes with the auctioneer and signal their next bid with just a sly wink.
