(Scoop ) GRAMMY Award-winning band Train is rolling back out to launch their "Save Me, San Francisco Tour" on October 20th in Seattle, Washington, in support of the October 27th release of their new Columbia Records' album, Save Me, San Francisco. The 28-city concert tour runs through December 11th, and features special guest Uncle Kracker.

Save Me, San Francisco is the multi-platinum-selling band's fifth studio album and marks the restoration of Train's original line-up - vocalist Pat Monahan, guitarist Jimmy Stafford and drummer Scott Underwood.

Produced by Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, James Morrison, KT Tunstall), Save Me, San Francisco is the band's first album since 2003's My Private Nation. The band will compliment their new tour with TV appearances on CBS Saturday Morning on November 11th and NBC's Today Show on November 13th.

The new album's hit single, "Hey, Soul Sister," has just been released and is now available for purchase on iTunes. The track is currently at #8 on the AAA Radio charts as well as #20 on the Hot Adult Contemporary charts, and is receiving 5.7 million weekly audience impressions on 111 terrestrial stations overall. "Hey, Soul Sister," is also getting upwards of 300,000 plays on the band's MySpace site (www.myspace.com/train), and will be featured on upcoming episodes of NBC's smash drama Medium as well as commercials for ABC's hit show Ugly Betty. The new video for "Hey, Soul Sister" has just premiered online at VH1.com, and will be featured on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown beginning October 10th.
