recently teasing fans with the news of a handful of live dates planned for this Fall,
<b>Parachute</b> has now announced a full co-headlining tour with <b>Kate Voegele</b>, which will include stops in Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Chicago, Seattle and Austin. Additional dates will be announced in the coming weeks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The announcement comes amidst Parachute’s U.S. summer tour with

</i></b>and <b><i><a href="http://theaudioperv.com/2011/06/30/parachute-something-to-believe-in-629-kimmel/">Jimmy Kimmel Live</a>. </i></b>The band’s new album
<b><i>The Way It Was</i></b><i> </i>(Mercury Records), which hit <b>#1 on the iTunes Rock Chart
</b>and debuted in the <b>Billboard Top 20</b>, features the <b>Top 15 smash hit “Something To Believe In”
</b>which was just added on<b> Radio Disney. </b>Follow-up single <b>“Kiss Me Slowly,”</b> co-written with Grammy-winners
<b>Lady Antebellum,</b> is bound to pack just as much of a punch and has already hit the
<b>#1 spot on the</b> <b>iTunes Rock Songs Chart</b>. Watch the video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXqYw_II6Pc">
