Augustana

Was the best preformance I have seen in a very long time!! Nice job Dan and welcome home! If you did not stay for the encore you missed out big time!

This concert was awesome!! The Paradise Club was the perfect venue, making it cozy and intimate. Augustana was amazing, on point and so into the music that I fell in love with them all over again! His voice was as awesome as ever and he was playin with my heart. Soo much fun! Will definitely go again if they're ever back.

Augustana played an amazing show! We loved the small venue and were able to be right up front. We are already planning on seeing them live again.

The concert was set at the amazing Varsity Theater and the atmosphere was filled with excitment and everyone was so happy to be there. The guys put on an amazing show even though the lead singer was sick with the flu.

the concert was very good although the lead singer was a little altered..he said he had the flu and some of his actions on stage were distracting. however, his combined talent in voice and lyrics joined with music was surreal and the band's improv version of dylan's "just like a woman" was completely memorable, along with all their own best songs. the concert was short and that was disappointing, but overall, it was a great musical experience and look forward to seeing augustana in the future.

I had an absolutely amazing time at the Augustana concert. They were awesome, talented performers and it was purely a joy to see. The only negative was the dip crap sitting next to me talking. I will seek them out and will never miss a show in my town again!!!

There show was awesome! They are truely talented. I went with my boyfirend who had never heard of them, and he really enjoyed the show.

The concert was by far the most amazing show I have ever been to! Their vocals are amazing on CD but even better in concert! (can't say that about most bands.) Great show!!

What a great night, those guys are awesome, the two bands before that were good to. Wolfie and Beyond Tomorrow.

This concert went above and beyond! I wish I could see them again today! This band has so much talent, it's unreal.

We were introduced to Augustana when they toured with Counting Crows last year. We saw them last September in St Louis and they were just as good this time. They played a couple of cover songs and I would have rather heard them play a couple more of their songs. So many good ones they have they didnt have time for. Again just a wonderful concert.

Augustana delivered a wonderful performance but I expect nothing less. They have a full catalog of songs to choose from plus they have started playing covers. I blame their management for their success not being greater.

It was a fun show. The entertainment level was higher than expected. They even closed it off by grabbing their guitars and starting a sing along with the crowd in the general admission section. Well worth it!

What an amazing band at an amazing venue! I have seen augustana 3 times now and they just keep getting better. The encore was amazing and the venue was so cool.

Augustana is, by far, the best band I have ever seen live. Although the versions of the songs they played were different than recorded versions, they were damn good!!!!!

this concert was so much fun... I loveee both of their cds and they sang songgs from both. They sounds so good if not better live. They just looked like they were having so much fun up on stage which makes it even more fun for the crowd. At the end of the show they came down into the crowd and played their last song. The opening band was also good! I had never heard of them but they were a great band and sounded good live

The lead singer Dan's voice is so beautiful and raw live.

As always Agustana put on a wonderful preformance! I cannot wait for them to come back to Indianapolis! They're the best!!

It was one of the best concert I've been to seeing the band. I've seen them several times and this by far was the best. They did different versions of their songs, like Fire. They all sang it together instead of Dan singing it by himself. They came out into the crowd with acoustic guitars and sang a song in the middle of the crowd. It was great!

Augustana was absolutely wonderful! They have an amazing energy, and really connect with fans. They played a lot of their hits, but also a few covers and new songs; it was a great mix! I would definitely come to see them again in Indy!

Just another great Indy show by Augustana this is the 4 th timewe have seen them Indy always a new experience but last time the guys reAlly seemed to be enjoying themselves and I think that made the show really great..... Will see them nexttimetheycometoindy

I didn't know what to expect from Augustana, but they rocked The Vogue last night. For the encore, they came down into the audience. Pretty sweet night. Plus when you are at The Vogue, you are so close to the stage, which makes for a great setting.

I love Augustana's studio albums and had never seen them live since this show. I thought they were very professional and fun at the same time. Great songs, great sound, great band.

I have been following Augustana for a while and am so glad I got to see them as a main event and not just an opening band. They were funny and just plain amazing! Wish they signed autographs though!

July 1 at HOB, Red Wanting Blue's performance was head and shoulders above all previous shows I have seen them in and I was already a fan! Talk about coming together as a band! Augustana was good, the crowd especially in the back of the room took away some enjoyment of the performance, but despite the noise etc they kept it going.

I think they did really great! i wish more people would have came to see them! They only had a little screw up at the start of the one their songs, but the songs are better each time i see them!

Both bands had a great stage presence and put on an awesome show. I went to the concert because I love my Red Wanting Blue CD my daughter gave to me and this was the first time I saw them live. This was the second show for my daughter. I really didn't know much of Augustana's music, but again I have my daughter to thank. How lucky I was to see both of these bands live. It was an awesome night out for both my daughter and I. If you want to hear great music and have a great time catch one of these shows you won't be sorry!!

I was disappointed. The lead singer looked strung out. He was not cool at all. He looked like he might way 90lbs soaking wet. Acted like he was doped out of his mind. Messed up the second song and had to restart. The band kept fiddling with there amps throughout the show while they were playing a song. Like they were back stage getting hammered and never tuned there instruments. When the singer spoke he sounded like a retard, making jokes that "only 9 people knew who Augustana was". Well loser, we don't know who you are because your just a knock off drug using, skinny ass wanna be goo goo dolls/cold play. Cut the attitude, take your concert seriously enough to not be wasted and maybe someday someone from the rock roll capital of the world will give to craps about who you are. I hope my money goes to his drug rehab stay.

Red Wanting Blue was the perfect opening band. They were really enthusiastic about their music and the crowd. Augustana's performance was intimate, hearfelt and endearing.

They are still alive, unbroken, and making the most beautiful music there is out there as a band with members who truly want to be on stage where they belong. What a night to remember...

Augustana was so much fun. Not many people were in attendance which surprised me because of the popularity is seems that they have. I loved it none-the-less, it was an intimate performance which made it ultra special. They must have done at least 25-30 songs straight without taking a break. It was such an amazing night!!!

Opening band was really good. Augustana was great!! They rocked out! Got to try out their new material since there were only 125 people TOTAL in the entire venue, noone complained. I don't know if was because the show was on a Monday night or if it's the Paramount's fault for not promoting the show, but it was only a benefit to me as I could walk up to the stage and back to the bar as often as I wanted.

Even better than last time in February. Dan is a machine...he sang straight thru and only stopped once to breath. Truly unique and amazing.

I went to see them in Atlanta the other night and they were absolutely phenomenal. I say with this with no exaggeration but when you see and hear Dan sing it is almost a religious experience! I sincerely hope their fan base will keep them going because I would not be happy if that was the last time I got to see them perform. Hopefully I'll get to see Dan again in Atlanta but until then I'll just have to listen to their songs on repeat.

After hearing the awful news that Augustana had broken up, it was amazing to hear that Daniel was still determined to perform and write new music. Although the lineup has changed since the original formation of Augustana, the new members did not disappoint. Daniel was INCREDIBLE! The set was over two hours long, full of old classics, and a few new songs! Daniel was so happy to be on stage, it was so refreshing to see. I can only hope that they continue touring and creating music! It truly was an unforgettable night and one of the greatest performances I've had the pleasure of seeing.

They were amazing! Great voice, performance and songs. Beautiful!

Great show, great theatre!!! Augustana, despite band members changing, still sounds amazing!!! Someone needs to sign them!! Their new music is too good not to be heard by the masses!!

What a great , great show by Augustana, friday night at TLA they played a full 2 hour show from 1015pm to 1215am mixed in all their hits, with new songs, and brought an entire new band this trip, different drummer, bass, and lead guitar from last mays show also at the TLA Dan Layus, is the hardest working truely gifted singer songwriter touring America, today, and showed off all his talents on guitar and piano, all night long

Amazed how long Augustana played. I got to hear every song that I loved! I think they said they played something like 28 songs in the night.

They were the 'other' band when I went to see Counting Crows in Sept. '10 - I just wasn't familiar with them. I was blown away then and couldn't wait for this show. Definitely worth the wait. A record label better pick them up so they go on the road again...I don't want Daniel's voice & personality disappearing from the scene.

Great show, unveiled some new material, played everything. Was great with the crowd.

Great show in a great venue. They didn't take the stage until 10:30pm, but we're worth the wait.

Graffiti6 opened for Augustana, and they were so original and passionate. Augustana was absolutely the same. They played songs from all three albums, which I appreciated, as well as completely new songs, all of which impressed me. Great night!

It WAS SO WORTH IT <3 I will definitely go again!! They sang a lot of new songs, and I loved them!! Dan's also super nice, you'll definitely fall in love with him if you ever see him perform live :)

Augustana was amazing; the lead singer had an amazing stage prescence. I would definitely go to another augustana concert.

The band was great! Loved their new tunes as well as their previous hits. The boyz in the band seemed to have a lot of fun with each other while performing. The Paradise location was nice, too. Not too crowded...kind of intimate cuase you could see from all angles. I was in the back by the bar and the sound plus the view was great! Hope they come around again soon!

This show was beyond my expectations. It's always nice to go to a show where the bands compliment each other well. I had never heard of Graffiti 6 before, but they were amazing - excellent harmonies, great stage presence, overall a very solid band. Augustana was (for lack of better words) amazing. They played a two hour set and simply blew my mind. I've been wanting to see them for a while now, and I'm glad I made the trip this time to see them.

Great show, great value, well worth the money! Would def see again, recommended to anyone who is a fan of music.

I loved the small size of the venue; it was very intimate and easy to see, unless you're short, which is always a problem. Not a lot of overwhelming lights or effects going on. Feels more like a jam session with the musicians than a full blown concert. Loved it.

This concert was fantastic. Graffiti6 opened and they were hot, fresh, and wonderful. Augustana was amazing. So inspiring, sounded amazing live, all of them had so much chemistry and it made every one there extremely happy. I cried. Legit, this concert was everything I hoped for.

After a year of not knowing where Augustana was in the world they came back with a bam. The concert was filled with emotion starting from the very first song to the very last were Daniel finished in tears. It was a mix of old songs and new ones where every song made the crowd go wild. This 90's rock band even experimented with new background tracks and mixed their rock sound with the new wave electronic sound. That gave their songs a whole new dynamic and almost in one song an island feel. Everyone knows this band for their famous song "Boston," which of course they played, but all the other songs that they played in the jam packed show presented a much larger picture of the band. In moving forward Daniel the lead singer is one year sober and is moving into a positive part of his life that he reflected in his new songs about his lovely wife and his three children. With the entire concert played with smiles on their faces Augustana is a must see. This concert made everyone in the crowd fall back in love with their music.

Augustana put on another great show. They played some older songs, songs from the latest cd and brand new material. They sounded great. The opener, Graffiti 6 was also very good. All around great night!

Augustana put on a solid 2 hour show. Sound quality was great.

AUGUSTANA was amazing!!!!! Daniel, you are the best. What a show they put on--it was such a great time. They played EVERYTHING and it was soooooooooo good. Their new songs are unbelievable!!! Wish everyone could hear how good they are. The music is heartfelt and makes you feel so good when you are listening to it. Love them, loved the concert. Just not enough words to describe how great it was!!!!

It was an amazing show! The band was tight and his voice blew me away. I can't wait to see them again.

Great venue as always, music was good, not sure I like the band's new direction.

Augustana was great at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston!

They don't talk a lot or have a big light show.. but they know what old fashioned entertaining is. Dan's voice is wonderful live and he knows how to get the audience involved in the show. I like their new sound, but I know many fans like his piano music better.

The sound was excellent...crowd wasn't too large...venue was perfect size...

I freakin love AUGUSTANA!!! They are one of the best bands EVER! Unfortunately, the threat of Hurricane Earl may have kept a lot of fellow fans from attending this awesome show, but it was great for those of us that we're there! It was like a private show, very initmate and personal. I have seen Augustana several times over the years and twice already this year with the Counting Crows circus, but I could not WAIT for them to have their own show so they could play more of their music (they only get a brief set at the circus shows). Anyway, I loved the set list, a mix of songs from All Stars & Boulevards and Can't Love, Can't Hurt, a few covers and some great new songs which we're eagerly waiting for to come out! I really love all of their songs. I love Dan's voice and I love learning to play their songs on guitar, their music is just so amazing. Truly. I must say the guys in the band are some of the nicest around. I have met them a few times now but I finally got my picture with Dan!!! He was so nice, he came over to those of us who were at the front of the line, to say hi, thank us for coming early and take pictures. <3 him! Chris was great and came out to chat with us after the show too. Such really nice and appreciative guys, that make supporting them really personal. You want this band to succeed and hopefully we can have a little part in that! :)

Simply unforgettable show! Had such a blast! Thanks so much Augustana!!!!!

Augustana was awesome!! He can still sing amazingly.... Scars on 45 rocked! They have great energy!

Daniel Layus of Augustana never disappoints!! His voice and songwriting speak to me! Loved seeing him at Paradise Rock Club, the perfect setting! Thank you! Can not wait until his next return to Boston.....

I saw Augustana a few years ago at the paradise and the show was incredible. Full of energy and passion. This one was ok but it felt as if they needed to get out of there. I just did not feel the same passion from the band. Daniels voice seemed off so that might be part of it. I hope to see them on their game again next time.

Dan and the boys never disappoint. This band rocks. Ohio loves you. Come back soon.

Beyond my expectations. It was so surreal! Augustana is so talented!

The band sounded better than I ever remember . They seem pretty charged up , did a little of everything. Didn't do too much talking or "sermonizing" just came out and played. For the encore they took requests and left the crowd very happy.

I enjoyed this show very much. I had not heard of them until I was going to see the opening band, Twin Forks, which featured my two nieces. Overall, I was very entertained. A good night out!

We have been Augustana fans for a while now so we were a bit concerned when the original members left Dan to front on his own. Well, Dan can handle it!! He sounded amazing and his new bandmates did a fine job at the show. The guitarist actually kicked ass! Really loving the new album and it's always wonderful to hear bands take standard favorites and kick them up a level as was done with "Fire." The rendition from the show was so beautiful, I only wish I had recorded it!!! Can't wait for them to come back and if you don't have Ash and Ember yet, what are you waiting for?

Dan Layus and his new reformed band, Augustana was fantastic. They were tight and focused. And not afraid to show the crowd everything they had!

Augustana have to be one of the most under appreciated bands in the world. Their music comes from the heart, and you can hear it in every note Dan Layus sings and plays. I have seen Augustana live three years in a row now, and each year it gets better and better. Definitely go see them if you have a chance, you will discover a whole new world of music that will make you feel good and bring tears to your eyes.

GREAT performance...weird venue. Twin Forks was ok...Augustana is amazing.

Augustana never fails to deliver. Such well written songs, and they just really go to another level when performed live. Dan Layus puts so much feeling and energy into his performance that it just pulls you in. The fans do not get cheated, as they played about 25 songs in their set with a really great encore. Recommend this show highly.

An amazing set that lasted almost two hours.. the band played all of the most famous songs in smooth transition. Dan projected incredible musicianship and was very amiable to the audience. The encore consisted of almost 30 minutes of several tunes at request. The band was very tight, in the pocket. They have a great vibe and I wish them all the best. :)

Augustana is basically down to Dan and Dave and they are very talented and put on a great show. They played old tunes and lots of new ones which are some of my favorites now! I drove 3 1/2 hrs to this show and it was well worth it!

Dan Layus made a real and honest performance , peppered with stunningly beautiful renditions of his best songs. Recommended.

Hadn't heard of Augustana until I caught them w/ Counting Crows in Sept 2010. Despite CC being my favorite band and having seen them 7 times by that point, Dan and Co. stole the show and I've caught them both times they've been in my area since. I have a hard time imagining anyone being disappointed, even with the slimmed-down version of the group.

Great atmosphere, very intimate show! Would recommend Augustana or the Paradise Rock Club any day!

My gf and I try to go every year to see Augustana in Philly/NJ or NY. They always put on a great show and we love to see them play. I wish they played live more often because we always have a fun time and they always put on a great unforgettable show!!!

This concert was amazing. The sound was perfect and crystal clear. I would return to the gramercy and would also love to see augustana again.

Awesome! great show. played classics and new songs.

Augustana...Acoustic Tour...Phenomenal!!! Played all the best of the best...Intimate venue...the place packed...the crowd completely JAZZED!!!! Full band or acoustic...the heart and soul of Dan Layus is the MAIN EVENT and always delivers...The sound, the voice, the heart felt lyrics...of both big hit published tunes and especially those recently composed all hit the mark and keep Boston fan base eager for more...Can't wait for next CD...next live post to see AUGUSTANA!!! LOVE IT!!! Gotta catch this show when it passes through your town!!!

The stripped down show was incredible. The songs were really clear and each was a fantastic version of the original, along with quite a few new songs that were also fantastic. The lead singer was a bit emotional...he had been going through alot, and they lost their record deal apparently. He let his emotions drive him to make an unbelievable performance.

Well, Augustana showed up late, but boy, was it ever worth waiting! These guys have great music to begin with, but wow, they sure perform it well too! With a touch of improv throughout. The band and the audience were very responsive to each other. If you want a nice night of acoustic, live music with lovely melodies and meaningful lyrics, see Augustana.

Augustana albums do not do Dan Layus's voice justice. He is absolutely incredible, and every song sounded better live! They played songs off of all their albums as well as a bunch of new sounds that also were amazing. The bottom line: You would be sorry to miss seeing Augustana on tour, they are an incredible band (even if it is two people now) and terribly underrated.

This show was amazing! I had seen augustana about 5 years ago when their stars and boulevards album was out (entire album was great!) and they were really good live. I've continued to be a fan and listen to their more recent hits like "sweet and low" and "steal your heart". When I saw they were coming to Boston again my girlfriends and I figured it would be a fun night out so we bought tickets. The show far exceeded our expectations! The acoustic vibe at the paradise was so intimate. I gained a much stronger appreciation for Dan's vocals and songwriting talent and the guy with him (sorry, don't know his name) was a beautiful musician. I knew quite a bit of songs but ended up falling in love with the new songs I had never heard. That, to me, is a true indication of how good a band is - if you can be blown away by music you've never heard before. I fell in love with every single new song they played - "youth is wasted on the young", "need a little sunshine", "love is in the air", "alive", and more! Turns out these song are not even on an album or available to purchase on itunes yet, but I will certainly be looking out for them. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Overall a wonderful night out and left feeling so glad I was able to be there.

This band is a gem. They are so good live. I love them. El Rey Theater is a beautiful venue and the concert was great.

Wonderful new material it has become so refined from the last they sounded fantastic. Grey Lag what a band the Next Radio Head

Augustana - incredibly talented, raw honest open emotion, sheer powerful love songs and a voice that truly inspires many. Augustan made a great choice in selecting Greylag as a touring partner for this tour. The musical styles complemented each other perfectly. I highly recommend seeing both of these bands any chance that you get.
