Equally inspired by jazz-fusion exploration from the likes of Steely Dan, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and Yes, and the guitar-driven prowess of Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Grateful Dead, The Runaway Grooms’ new album, This Road, dives in and out of grooves and moods, turning on a dime, but always focusing on what the band sees as the most important aspect; the song. Oh, and keeping the crowd on their dancing feet.

As part of a rising generation of bands who pride themselves on their eclectic influences, genre-melding songwriting, and electric live shows, Colorado-based outfit The Runaway Grooms aren’t just picking up the torch, they’re taking off with it.
