SANTA MONICA (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Following a successful summer run of dates with Counting Crows and Maroon 5, Augustana is now set to hit the road this fall with OneRepublic in support of their sophomore record Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt (released April 29 via Epic Records). Prior to jumping on the OneRepublic dates, which begin October 26 in Toledo, Ohio, the San Diego, CA-based quintet–Dan Layus (vocals, guitar, piano), Jared Palomar (bass, vocals), Justin South (drums), Chris Sachtleben (lead guitar, mandolin, lap steel), John Vincent Fredericks (piano, hammond b3, vocals)–will perform a few headlining shows beginning October 18 in Macon, GA.
Produced by Mike Flynn of The Fray, Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt, with its crafted coming-of-age songs, illustrates the excitement of new love and ever-changing growth within a band. The album, which entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart at #21 and debuted in the Top 5 at iTunes, features 10 chosen cuts of modern, melodic, piano-driven rock including the single “Sweet and Low.” In addition, the song “Hey Now” was featured during the final scene on Monday, September 22’s episode of MTV’s “The Hills.”
Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt is the follow-up to the band’s 2005 debut record All the Stars and Boulevards, which reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and featured the RIAA-certified digital platinum hit single, “Boston.” Augustana is touring to promote the release of this newest album.
