Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you for the kind words, Tanneah!
Saw Runawayfire live in Avon and they were fantastic!
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you! Avon won us over big time! We love that town!!
We had Runaway Fire play on our outdoor patio stage and the crows loved them!
Response from Runaway Fire:
We aim to please both human and avian listeners alike!
One does not associate hot new bands with Utah, until you get the chance to hear Runawayfire! They are not another cover band, all their show is original music and the talent is unbelievable. You will want to follow them to their next gig, I promise. I wish they were local to Nashville so I could catch more shows! The show at Zion Canyon Brew Pub was fantastic.
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you Charlene! We hope to make it to Nashville one day!
We really loved having these guys out to play on our outdoor patio here at The Ten45! They played all original songs that the crowd loved!
Response from Runaway Fire:
We loved playing at The Ten45, it is an awesome venue!
It was enjoyable to watch and listen to the band Runaway Fire. They have new fresh content. I love how they enjoy performing and find joy in what they do. They are extremely talented with flawless performances.
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you Laurel! There's nothing we'd rather be doing than playing music so we are glad it shows!
These guys are just starting out, but they've already established a sound and stage presence that makes it seem like they've been around for years. If you are into alternative/modern rock I highly recommend checking them out and going to one of their live shows. They have some great songs and their lead singer kills it every time.
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thanks for the recommendation, Calvin! We hope you get to see us again at a show where we can play a few more tunes!
We loved Run Away Fire band! They are so good and so fun to listen to!
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thanks Allison! Glad you had a good time at the show!
A well practiced and creative band. The bass lines where very soothing and then explosive. The drums where played with precision and skill; bringing a finess with super human speed. The keyboardess was beautiful and has a smile that lights up the room. Her sound brought a very futuristic and imagitive feel. The guitarist played and provided amazing vocals. His lyrics where fun and catchy. Can't wait to see them again!
Response from Runaway Fire:
Bryon, thanks so much for the kindly worded review! And for being such a great supporter of Runaway Fire. You rock dude!
I ran into this band performing at a really cool festival at Zion National Park-thought they were a recording when I first heard them, then saw them on stage! Reminded me of a spicy version of U2 mixed with The Beatles, but they write their own songs! They’ve got such cool keyboard sounds intertwined creatively into each song, it’s really stuff I haven’t heard before, that plus stage presence, obviously they are “musicians” and not just people that started a band. As a performer myself, it actually takes quite a bit to impress me. This colorful band caught me by surprise.
Response from Runaway Fire:
Andy, we appreciate the kind words! It was great meeting you at the Zion show. Hope to see you again at one of our shows up north this summer!
Looking forward to having you play on our patio again, SOON !!!
They were very accommodating to our fundraiser the Mesquite Springs Festival. They showed up on time and worked well with the schedule of events. The vendors and people attending the event loved the music.
Response from Runaway Fire:
Melissa, we are so grateful you gave us the opportunity to perform at your event! We're glad the crowd loved it!
Runaway Fire is an incredibly talented band, full of energy and originality. Not only did they keep the crowds entertained, but the local business owners were stepping out to tap their toes and give the band a shout out. Their song crafting and musicianship is first rate. Well worth the investment. Looking forward to working with them again.
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you for the kind words, Todd. It was such a pleasure to be a part of the Zion Chalk & Earth Fest, and we can't wait to return!
Last year Runaway Fire performed at the Southern Utah Museum of Art Plaza for our Final Friday Art Walk. The Cedar City Arts Council is excited to welcome back Runaway Fire this summer for the Final Friday Art Walk. They have high energy original music and will be at the IG Winery on July 28 from 6 to 8 pm
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you for giving us our first ever performance opportunity last June! Since then we have made great strides, including revamping our rhythm section and adding an outstanding keyboard player. We guarantee the performance on July 28 will be 5 star worthy!
Runaway Fire put on a concert for us at the park in Hurricane, and it was amazing! They have so many cool original songs and there is something for everyone. I would highly recommend hiring Runaway Fire!
Response from Runaway Fire:
Thank you for the recommendation, Hailley! We aim to please any crowd we are fortunate to be in front of. Hope to play again for you soon!
