Fran Healy And Andy Dunlop at Turner Hall Ballroom
This intimate show finds Travis singer Fran Healy (backed by guitarist Andy Dunlop) tracing his evolution from bedroom popsmith to dapper mope-rock icon, in what’s being billed as “A Chronological Acoustical Journey Through The Travis Back Catalogue: Laugh Out Loud Stories, Scottish Accents, Handsome Scottish Men, Naked Torsos.” For those whose familiarity with Travis begins and ends with “Why Does It Always Rain On Me”—or through Coldplay’s Chris Martin self-deprecatingly suggesting he’s a “poor man’s Fran Healy”—it’s an excellent chance to catch up with one of Britpop’s most influential songwriters, who promises to share the stories behind his songs, as well as pull out one or two of the left-field covers he’s become equally famous for. Plus, naked torsos.
