Switchfoot

Switchfoot, the Grammy award-winning rock group comes to the St. Augustine Amphitheater. The group will be joined by Thousand Foot Krutch who will open the show.

Switchfoot originally gained a large following in the Christian rock-group scene and after amassing some popularity there, they released their first studio album, The Beautiful Letdown, in 2003. Their group originally formed in the late 90's when brothers, Jon and Tim Foreman joined with drummer Chad Butler to start a rock group. Early on they were known only within the Christian rock scene and released three studio albums, but then after their 2003 album all that changed.

Switchfoot's album, The Beautiful Letdown featured the hit songs "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move." The album was certified double platinum, selling more than 2.6 million copies. The band was catapulted into the mainstream market and turned into overnight sensations! The band consisted of the brothers Foreman, Chad Butler on drums, and Jerome Fontamillas on the keyboards.

The band has released five more studio albums, since their breakout one in 2003. Switchfoot won the Grammy Award for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album in 2011 for their seventh album, Hello Hurricane. Their most recent album, Fading West, was released in 2014 through their own label and Atlantic Records. Switchfoot has sold 5.5 million copies of their eight studio albums worldwide, toured extensively all over the world, and have used that fame to help raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid homeless kids in their community through their own Bro-Am Foundation.

The band currently consists of Jon Foreman on lead vocals, rhythm guitar; Tim Foreman on bass; Chad Butler on drums; Jerome Fontamillas on rhythm guitar, keyboard; and Drew Shirley on lead guitar. Visitors can see this award-winning and highly popular rock group at the St. Augustine Amphitheater.
