Next summer, Trinity College’s Summer Series will feature a headlining performance by the Scottish alternative rock band Texas.
The band was founded in Glasgow, Scotland in 1987 by singer Sharleen Spiteri and bassist Johnny McElhone, who were both inspired by the Wim Wenders film classic “Paris, Texas.” In 1989, they had a worldwide hit with their debut single, “I Don’t Want A Lover,” which was taken from the critically acclaimed album, “Southside.”
Over 40 million albums have been sold worldwide by the group to date. Their most recent album, Hi, is their tenth studio effort and was released in May 2021. It features the singles “Hi” and “Mr. Haze.”
