The Louisville Orchestra with Dashboard Confessional
Originally conceived in 1998, Dashboard Confessional began as a way for Chris Carrabba to work outside the boundaries of his then band, Further Seems Forever. Their debut album, The Swiss Army Romance, was filled with intimate, soul-bearing acoustic numbers and was followed by The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, which earned him his first gold record and the MTV2 Artist of the Year Award in 2002.
Dashboard’s third album, 2003’s A Mark A Mission A Brand A Scar, and the band’s last release, 2006’s Dusk and Summer, went gold shortly after their respective releases and earned Carrabba the respect of U2, who personally asked the band to join them on a 2005 North American tour.
At that point, Carrabba and his bandmates – guitarist John Lefler, bassist Scot Schoenbeck and drummer Mike Marsh – had capped off months of touring with a triumphant sold out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Now, Dashboard Confessional has completed recording their new, yet-to-be-titled album with producer and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger in a New York studio set to be released later this year.
