Run Boy Run CD release party

Arizona’s rising stars and neo-traditional darlings of song and string music Run Boy Run will celebrate the group’s newest CD release with a listening party, and beer and wine reception. Formed in the summer of 2009, Run Boy Run has emerged as a powerful force in the Arizona desert music scene. They won Flagstaff’s own Pickin’ in the Pines Band Contest in 2009 (a program of FFOTM), then went on to win the coveted Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Contest in 2011. They were the featured performers on A Prairie Home Companion in January and have been busy recording, performing throughout the Southwest, and building a growing catalog of traditional, original, and familiar material. The unique sound of Run Boy Run is rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian South. Dynamic, orchestral, and overflowing with beauty, Run Boy Run exists in the tension between tradition and frontier.
