The Verve Pipe charted hits on mainstream and alternative radio, including the #1 single "The Freshmen," one of the most successful multi-format tracks of its decade. The band has recently played high profile events like the Austin City Limits Festival, Lollapalooza and Central Park's SummerStage delivering high-energy concert events as well as popular family concerts. These family concert events serve to foster the next generation of music fans while giving parents the opportunity to share in their kid's first concert experience.
