After August is a band based in Madison, WI that emerged in 2022.  They perform their own original rock songs and are known for their award-winning song writing, engaging harmonies, driving rhythms, and catchy riffs.  All five members of the group have played extensively in the area and bring a wide range of influences to the group.

The group’s origins stem from The Getaway Drivers (four of the five members are previous from that group), and from a pandemic-era album, Tempest, produced by Bob Manor (vocals, piano, rhythm guitar) and Greg Thornburg (lead guitar).  Current members include Bob Manor (vocals, guitar, keys), Greg Thornburg (guitars), Pete Schmeling (drums) and Sheila Shigley (vocals, keys).  After August released the album, First Sign of Trouble, in March 2024.
