Augustana

Formed: 2003

Did You Know?: The band was discovered by Grammy-Winning Producer Stephen Short, who has worked with the likes of Phil Collins, Paul McCartney and Peter Gabriel.

After their discovery by Short, he became their manager and guided through the release of 2005’s All the Stars and Boulevards which became a huge success on the strength of platinum single “Boston”.

Non-stop touring followed as the band opened for The Fray, Counting Crows, and Snow Patrol among others, and eventually began headlining themselves.

Now 2008 brings the release of Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt which sees them back on the road.

They opened their recent tour in Portland at the Wonder Ballroom and made a visit to the KINK Live Performance Lounge, and will be back for a concert with Counting Crows and Maroon 5, in September 2008.
