The Fray and Dashboard Confessional are shaking off the dust of bygone decades and charging into 2022 with their Summer of Light Tour. Picture it: hazy nostalgic anthems soundtracking the setting sun, the scent of summer beer on the breeze, and a crowd of like-minded souls caught in a heady, collective reverie. It’s a nostalgia trip, sure, but there’s something undeniably appealing about surrendering to the past just long enough for a night of sing-along catharsis. This isn’t so much about "How to Save a Life" or "Hands Down" as it is about the transformative power of collective nostalgia. Prepare to be swooned by Isaac Slade's brooding vocals and to feel every word of Chris Carrabba's heartfelt lyricism.
