Waking Ashland Update

By Leave a Comment

Waking Ashland has left us an update on their upcoming tour and studio time.

We are going to have to cancel some midwest and east coast dates that we had set up for sept/oct. The reason for this is that there were some schedule changes with our producer and studio; Which basically means we will be going into the studio to record our 2nd full length album during that time. We’d like to apologize to anyone that was planning on coming out to any of these shows; we promise we will be back early next year.

There are alot of new songs that we can not wait for you guys to hear. Expect a whole lot more information about our next album soon.

Below are our remaining tour dates for the year. We hope you guys can all make it out one of these shows! We’re playing a couple of new songs from our next record on this tour.

-Waking Ashland

ALL of these shows are ALL AGES. Theyre all about $10 too.
