Maroon 5, TRAIN, Coming to Amphitheater in Alpharetta

Train and Maroon 5 play at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Thursday night, but you might need to call the box office or find a ticket reseller, as it's a hot ticket in Alpharetta.

Matt Nathanson opens at 7 p.m., having just had his "Modern Love" album released this summer.

The amphitheater's Web site says multiplatinum band TRAIN has made its mark on music history with their GRAMMY-Award-winning song “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and chart-topping singles “Meet Virginia” and “Calling All Angels.”

Train earned its third GRAMMY earlier this year for the worldwide smash “Hey Soul Sister” from its current release, Save Me, San Francisco. “Hey Soul Sister” was the biggest selling single of 2010 and hit No. 1 at radio in the US and in 15 countries abroad.

Train hit No. 1 again with “If It’s Love” and the current single “Marry Me” from Save Me, San Francisco has reached platinum status as well. Save Me, San Francisco has sold more than one million albums worldwide and more than eight million tracks.

Maroon 5 captured the first of three GRAMMY Awards as “Best New Artist” of 2005 and going on to sell more than 15 million albums worldwide, with their hybrid rock/R&B sound.

The band recently released a third studio album Hands All Over, which was produced by studio legend Robert John “Mutt” Lange. Met by critical praise, with Rolling Stone stating it’s their “brightest sounding and poppiest album yet,” the album notched a No. 2 debut on the Billboard Top 200 Albums’ chart.

Earlier this year, Maroon 5 received a GRAMMY Award nomination for “Misery,” the debut single off Hands All Over, in the category of “Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.” The nod marks the group’s seventh GRAMMY nomination overall and fourth in that category.

Frontman Adam Levine joined the lineup of coaches for NBC’s series The Voice, which premiered on April 26.
