Travis, the Scottish rock band hailing from Glasgow, emerged onto the music scene in 1990 and quickly carved a distinctive niche for themselves with their melodic sound and heartfelt lyrics. The quartet comprises Fran Healy, the soulful lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist; Dougie Payne, the adept bassist and backing vocalist; Andy Dunlop, the versatile lead guitarist and banjo player; and Neil Primrose, the rhythmic heartbeat of the band on drums and percussion.

The band’s moniker, Travis, pays homage to the character Travis Henderson, portrayed by Harry Dean Stanton in the acclaimed film “Paris, Texas” (1984). In 2004, they compiled their musical journey into the first greatest hits album, “Singles,” a compilation that resonated with fans and spent an impressive nineteen weeks in the top 100 of the UK albums chart.

Travis has been a perennial favorite at award ceremonies, clinching the BRIT Award for Best Band twice and earning the prestigious NME Artist of the Year award in 2000. Their enduring impact on the Scottish music scene was recognized in 2016 when they were honored at the Scottish Music Awards for their outstanding contribution to music.

The year 2019 marked the celebration of Travis’ breakthrough year as Craft Recordings commemorated the 20th anniversary with the simultaneous release of “Live at Glastonbury ’99” and expanded editions of “The Man Who” on June 21. These releases captured the essence of a band that has not only endured but thrived, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of rock music.
