Augustana - All The Stars and Boulevards 20th Anniversary (Full Band)

Augustana

"Platinum-selling American pop-rock artist Augustana emerged as one of the defining voices of mid-2000s alternative rock with their 2005 debut All the Stars and Boulevards. The album's breakout single "Boston" became a cultural touchstone, amassing over 200 million streams and earning placements in countless films and TV shows. The band followed with successful albums including Can't Love, Can't Hurt (2008) and Augustana (2011), cementing their place in the hearts of fans worldwide.

Led by the distinctive voice and songwriting of Dan Layus, Augustana has always prioritized authentic connection over trends. In recent years, Layus has breathed new life into the project with innovative approaches to both recording and performing. He's released intimate reimagined versions of classic Augustana songs, explored solo material that pushes creative boundaries, and collaborated with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to reimagine Augustana's music with lush classical and string arrangements—a testament to the depth and versatility of his songwriting. He's also launched special anniversary tour experiences where he performs beloved albums in full as stripped-down solo shows.

Whether playing sold-out theaters or intimate venues, Augustana continues to evolve while honoring the emotional core that first connected with millions. The music remains timeless—raw, honest, and deeply human."

Jackson Scribner

The name Jackson Scribner is synonymous with precociousness—among Americana tastemakers and indie folk listeners alike. The Texan released his self-titled debut at twenty years old, drawing rapid acclaim from American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Situation, No Depression, Folk Alley and more. Recorded during an impromptu two-week stint in the studio and comprising the first songs Jackson ever penned, that album revealed a young songwriter’s distinguished instinct. Jackson Scribner’s highly anticipated sophomore offering, Depression Kids, retains the veritable troubadour grit that can’t be taught, while benefiting from a slower, more considered process. 

Jackson’s songs tend to contain vivid settings and memorable characters, often presented with the poetic epicness of a tall tale. Listeners may be surprised to learn that his approach to writing isn’t narrative. The album’s title track emerged from a mess of sticky notes strewn across Jackson’s bedroom floor. It’s a kind of write-by-osmosis style which enriches Jackson’s music with texture and cinematic movement. To listen is to live inside a feeling, rather than be told to feel it. 

In addition to Jackson and Levi, the album features Jeff Ryan (St. Vincent, The War on Drugs, Daniel Johnston) on drums, Jerome Brock (Cryptolog) on guitar and keys, Kim Herriage (Songhoy Blues) on pedal steel, and Tony Hormillosa (Pleasant Grove) on bass
