Travis Frontman, Fran Healy Goes on US/Canada Tour

Fran Healy, Travis frontman, is doing something new. He’s touring with his guitar, and his companion Andy Dunlop, Travis’ guitar player, while leaving the full band behind. Their US/Canadian tour is being billed as “A Chronological Acoustical Journey Through The Travis Back Catalogue: Laugh Out Loud Stories, Scottish Stories, Scottish Accents, Handsome Scottish Men, Naked Torsos.” The tour is apparently inspired by Jack Kerouac. Healy is anticipated to draw on his extensive catalogue of over six Travis albums, and numerous EP’s and B-Sides. In a recent press release Healy says, “The show will start with the first song I wrote and end with the last song I wrote.” Healy continues, “Between these two bookends we’ll play a selection of songs running in chronological order.” Tour dates listed below:
