MARION – Mtn Dew Park announced that Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum selling rock band Soul Asylum will join rock icons Stone Temple Pilots in concert on Friday, Sept. 13, at the Marion venue.

Since the 1980s, Soul Asylum have been one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene, a group known for their raucous but emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar fueled firepower, and songs that range from aggression to heartfelt.

Their 1992 breakthrough album, Grave Dancers Union, featured the international hits “Runaway Train,” “Black Gold,” and “Somebody to Shove.”

“Runaway Train” won a Grammy, and its music video brought nearly two dozen missing and exploited children and teens around the world home to their families.

Soul Asylum has released 12 original albums, in addition to multiple live albums and greatest hits collections.

The current Soul Asylum line-up features Dave Pirner (lead vocals/guitar), Michael Bland (drums), Ryan Smith (lead guitar) and Jeremy Tappero (bass). Pirner, generally considered to be one of the one of the great American songwriters, released a best-selling annotated collection of lyrics, Loud, Fast, Words, in 2020.
