SWITCHFOOT has sold over 10 million copies worldwide of their thirteen studio albums (including their 2003 triple platinum breakthrough The Beautiful Letdown and 2009's Grammy Award-winning Hello Hurricane), racked up a string of Alternative radio hit singles, and performed sold-out tours with over 5 million concert tickets sold in over 40 countries around the world.Through their unique blend of emotionally intelligent and uplifting brand of alternative rock, SWITCHFOOT has earned a devoted and loyal global fanbase.
SWITCHFOOT has raised over $2 million dollars to aid kids in their community through their BRO-AM Foundation.
SWITCHFOOT consists of Jon Foreman (vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass), Jerome Fontamillas (keys, guitar) and Chad Butler.
The platinum-certified alternative quartet from Houston, TX—Justin Furstenfeld [vocals, guitar, songwriter], Jeremy Furstenfeld [drums], Ryan Delahoussaye [violin, mandolin, piano], Matt Noveskey [bass], and Steve Schiltz [guitar]—consistently evolves with every release. For their thirteenth studio album, tentatively titled Everything We Lost In The Fire, Blue October unlocks another creative masterpiece.
“The heaviest times of our lives is when we have to make difficult decisions. Change can be a beautiful part of life if you celebrate it. This is me celebrating change in the loudest way possible,“ states frontman Justin Furstenfeld.
After two years of nonstop recording and touring supporting Spinning The Truth Around Part I and Part II, you would think Justin and the band would want to take some time to themselves to rest and recharge. However, Furstenfeld immediately returned to his happy place in the studio where the creativity continued to flow and in a short period of time, a new album was born. Magic courses through the first single “Everything We Lost In The Fire,” a revealing story about having the courage to embrace change, spoken with big guitars and drums. This will be one of the heaviest sounding albums the band has ever released.
For the listener, there’s a real connection with the live experience that can only be created by a vast catalog. Blue October returns to the road in Winter/Spring 2024 on a 35 city headline tour in theaters across the country. Followed by a 32 city Summer amphitheater tour. There is no question Blue October’s best days are ahead.
Over his almost 30 year career, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the most applauded songwriters and engaging performers on the music scene today. His sixth studio album, Some Mad Hope, yielded his breakthrough multi-platinum hit "Come on Get Higher.” He followed up with Modern Love, a critically acclaimed album (PopMatters called it "the closest a pop album comes to perfection this year”) that garnered Nathanson two RIAA Gold Certified singles, “Faster” & “Run (featuring Sugarland)”.His 2013 release, Last of The Great Pretenders, debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 while hitting #1 on iTunes' Alternative Albums chart. His most recent album, Sings His Sad Heart, spawned the hit single “Used To Be” which was a chart climber-hitting top 20 at Adult Top 40.Throughout his career, Nathanson has been known to cover songs and artists that inspire him. His Def Leppard approved cover album of their iconic Pyromania called Pyromattia shot to #1 on iTunes Alternative chart and Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott called the album “an amazing reinterpretation” with“heart & soul.” Last year he covered U2’s Achtung Baby as a tribute to his all time favorite album. His holiday LP Farewell December, includes "Blue Christmas” to “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”—as well as his somber take on Joni Mitchell’s “River.”Nathanson has performed on The Howard SternShow, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray, and The CMA Awards to name a few.
