An Evening with Run Boy Run

Come hear RUN BOY RUN, a five-member band hailed for its soaring harmonies and beautiful acoustic instrumentation, as they celebrate the release of their newest studio album, Something to Someone.

The band's Arcata stop is part of their second national tour. Defying easy labeling, Run Boy Run blends streams of Americana, bluegrass, gospel and jazz music into their unique compositions. Their sound features captivating three-part female harmony and masterful fiddle work. Run Boy Run includes two-time Arizona State Fiddle Champion Matt Rolland, Bekah Sandoval Rolland (fiddle), Grace Rolland (cello), Jen Sandoval (mandolin), and Jesse Allen (bass).

Winner of the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival band contest, Run Boy Run has twice played to an audience of millions on A Prairie Home Companion on National Public Radio. Host Garrison Keillor was so taken with this young band that he wrote a glowing endorsement for their first album, So Sang the Whippoorwill: "Hot instruments and beautiful, sweet harmony singing -- that's all you need in the world today!"

Run Boy Run will perform two sets with an intermission.
