Bio
Runaway Souls
RUNAWAY SOULS IS A LOUISVILLE-BASED ROCK AND ROLL BAND THAT MIXES VINTAGE VIBES WITH MODERN PROBLEMS.
They grew out of a flurry of pandemic-produced writing during a time of intense inspiration. Once that door opened, the songs flowed and developed into their current sound.
That sound is based on the interplay between the vocals of David Thomas and guitarists Darren Barker and Brian Segal interweaving riffs and harmony leads, the always amazing keyboard work of Woody Woodmansee, all laying in the pocket created by bassist Donnie Bott and drummer Jim Becker.
The lyrics delve into the problems faced by modern folks, while the music evokes the past with layers of slide guitar, glorious backing vocal harmonies, big riffs and crunchy tones.
Runaway Souls released their first -- pandemic-influenced -- single, “Shelter With You,” in the summer of 2020.
They followed up with their debut album, “Karma Delivery,” in 2022, featuring ten songs that are still featured heavily in their live set.
Runaway Souls released “Less Than Anything” in September of 2023.
They continue to play, write and record with a follow-up EP in the works. As always, they live to celebrate the thrill of victory with the same enthusiasm they embrace the agony of defeat. Raise a glass, here’s to getting it wrong now!
