Texas star Sharleen Spiteri is a force to be reckoned with, her love for music burning bright even after nearly four decades in the industry. The Glasgow band, known for iconic hits like Say What You Want and Black Eyed Boy, continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their electrifying performances.
Passion for Live Performances
Despite the passage of time, Spiteri’s passion for performing live remains unyielding. As she takes the stage night after night, her focus isn’t just on delivering a show but on winning over new fans.

From chart-topping hits like Summer Son to mesmerizing crowds at Glastonbury music festival, Texas has carved a legendary status in the music industry. Their upcoming performance at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival reaffirms their enduring appeal and musical prowess.
A Balancing Act: Touring vs. Family Life
For Spiteri, juggling life on tour with family commitments is a delicate balance. Reflecting on her journey from carefree touring days to embracing motherhood while still rocking out on stage, she muses, “When you’re free and single you’re going on the road for years at a time… It’s perfect.”
In moments of reflection, Spiteri acknowledges feeling fortunate and humbled by the surreal experiences that come with being a rockstar. Whether it’s punching the air at Glastonbury or being overwhelmed by fan fervor at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, these instances serve as poignant reminders of her musical legacy.
The Challenge of Sustaining Success
As Texas prepares to headline Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival once again, Spiteri emphasizes the arduous nature of sustaining success in an ever-evolving music landscape. With venues shuttering and studios closing doors, each opportunity to grace the stage becomes all the more significant.
Spiteri’s admiration for Scotland’s Highlands shines through as she extols its unmatched beauty and rejuvenating air that fuels her performances. For her and Texas, playing amidst such natural splendor is not just a gig but a soul-stirring experience that transcends mere entertainment.
In essence, Sharleen Spiteri embodies resilience, artistry, and an unwavering commitment to her craft. With every note sung and every stage shared with adoring fans around the globe, she continues to live out her dream – a dream deeply intertwined with Texas’ timeless music legacy.
