Creed to play May 20 at Amphitheatre

Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 4:35 PM by User

Tallahassee rock band Creed sold an estimated 35 million records worldwide in the late '90s and early 2000s, and then disbanded in 2004.

Members got back together in 2009 to release a new album and go on tour. That tours stops in St. Augustine on May 20 at the Amphitheatre.

In 1994, friends Scott Stapp (lead vocals) and Mark Tremonti (lead guitar and bass guitar), students at Florida State University, formed the band. Scott Phillips came on in 1995 to play the drums, percussion and keyboards; Brian Marshall joined the same year, playing bass guitar; and Eric Friedman came on last year to play the rhythm guitar and perform backup vocals.

Creed won a Grammy Award for "With Arms Wide Open" in 2001 as Best Rock Song. The band's first three studio albums, "My Own Prison," "Human Clay" and "Weather," all went multi-platinum in the U.S. The band's new album, released in 2009, is "Full Circle."

Many songs have been featured in movie and TV soundtracks, and the band also collaborated with World Wrestling Entertainment, allowing songs to be used in promotions.
