The Native Tongue Tour coincides with the release of SWITCHFOOT’s chart-topping, critically-acclaimed album, Native Tongue, via Fantasy Records. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say. And that seems to be the case for SWITCHFOOT and its fans” (The Oakland Press/Gary Graff) as the multi-platinum selling quintet, accompanied by support acts Colony House and Tyson Motsenbocker, has sold out shows in Asheville, Nashville, Toronto, Dallas and Seattle.

SWITCHFOOT recently gave fans an inside look at their “dazzling array of genre-bending” (Local Spins/Ricky Olmos) through the blistering new live video for “Native Tongue.” The live performance clip, produced by SWITCHFOOT and directed by Erick Frost, was shot at Atlanta’s historic Tabernacle, and captures the band’s signature high-energy performance and passionate connection with their audience.

Throughout the tour, SWITCHFOOT is partnering with Food for the Hungry, an international relief and development organization, to raise money for programs that help communities in 17 countries around the world move from extreme poverty to self-sustainability.
