What We're Listening To: Laurie




Travis is a rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. They write a lot of melancholy songs with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. The band is comprised of Fran Healy, who is responsible for rhythm guitar, harmonica, vocals and songwriting. Andy Dunlop rocks on lead guitar and keyboards. Dougie Payne holds down rhythm on bass and Neil Primrose rounds out the rhythm section on drums. I recently saw Fran and Andy play an acoustic set of their back catalogue at the Magic Bag Theater in Ferndale and the show was brilliant. If you like Brit pop and insightful lyrics give Travis a listen. They will not disappoint!
