The band from Southern California (by way of Illinois) makes a rare coastal New Jersey appearance fronted by singer-guitarist-pianist and primary composer Dan Layus; with a revamped lineup, a new record label, and a new leg of tour dates behind their well-received 2014 release, Life Imitating Life<\/em>. The whispery vocal verses and Coldplay-inspired ivories of the band\u2019s early singles \u201cBoston\u201d and follow-ups \u201cSweet and Low\u201d and \u201cHey Now\u201d vaulted to the Top 10 at AAA Radio. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then in 2011, for the band\u2019s self titled album on Epic,\u00a0<\/span>Layus, had a major surprise with a punchier, more immediate sound that carried melodic currents of Soul Asylum, Tom Petty, Chris Isaak and Bruce Springsteen. Now the new album reconciles the various facets of the Augustana sounds through a succinct rhythmic attack and crisp production \u2014 with bright radio-ready anthems like \u201cAsh and Ember\u201d sharing the ride with introspective plaints like \u201cRemember Me,\u201d under the flag of Layus\u2019s unerring pop instincts.<\/p>\n

Opening the show will be Jim and Sam. With the aid of producer Lasse Marten(Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn & John, Chrissie Hynde) Jim and Sam will complete their debut album (recorded at the legendary Puk Studios in Denmark).<\/p>\n
