Switchfoot // Relient K at Mabee Center

GRAMMY® award winner Switchfoot is an American alternative rock band from San Diego, California. After early successes in the Christian rock scene, Switchfoot first gained mainstream recognition with the inclusion of four of their songs in the 2002 movie A Walk to Remember. This recognition led to their major label debut, The Beautiful Letdown, which was released in 2003 and featured the hits “Meant to Live” and “Dare You to Move”. It went on to sell over 2.6 million copies. They have since been noted for their energetic live shows. They’re now soon to release their 10th album “Where the Light Shines Through”.

GRAMMY® nominated Relient K has been making records since 1997, when Matt Thiessen and Matt Hoopes formed the band in high school. In the 15+ years since, they’ve released six full-length albums (three are certified Gold), five EPs and a Christmas record, with over two and half million records sold, three RIAA Gold-certified albums and a highly dedicated fan base. As a prolific songwriter, Relient K’s front man, Matt Thiessen, has paved a road with pop hits over the last four years including co-writing Owl City’s 2012 summer hit “Good Time,” Kelly Clarkson’s “Long Shot” and the award-winning “When Can I See You Again” from the animated film Wreck-It Ralph.
