What is Arts in the Heart of Augusta

Arts in the Heart of Augusta will be rocking this Fall with Grammy winning band Soul Asylum on the Global Stage Saturday, Sept. 20th at 7:30pm on the Augusta Common. Soul Asylum are known for their raucous and emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar-fueled firepower, and songs that range from aggressive to heartfelt. They continue to be one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene, having broken through commercially with the double-platinum 1992 album Grave Dancers Union, which contained the Grammy-winning Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 hit “Runaway Train” and No. 1 Modern Rock smash “Somebody to Shove.” Their latest album, “Slowly But Shirley” includes frontman Dave Pirner, drummer Michael Bland, lead guitarist Ryan Smith, bassist Jeremy Tappero and was produced by Steve Jordan, drummer for the Rolling Stones.
