Augustana’s lead singer Dan Layus was injured during a show in Madison, WI on 10.29.08.  On behalf of all of the Augustana fans and those of us here at AFN, we want to let Dan and the rest of the Layus family know that we wish Dan a speedy recovery and are keeping him in our thoughts.  Get well soon Dan.
