Band with local roots Runaway Symphony
wows 'em at the Pearl |
|
April 12, 2015 |
Runaway Symphony (is it really a Moscow band, or
is it a Bonners Ferry band on temporary loan to
Moscow?), returned to its muse roots--Boundary
County--this past Saturday, April 11 for a
performance at the Pearl Theater.
Once again, Runaway Symphony was well received,
as the estimated crowd of approximately 150
people enthusiastically responded to the songs
performed by the band. Several of those songs
were based on life experiences and ponderings of
lead vocalist and band lyricist Daniel Botkin,
raised in the rural areas of Boundary County.
The band performed songs from their album
Running South, currently available on iTunes (you
can get there by clicking here), and other
songs. They announced that their next album will
be coming out soon, within a few months, as soon
as the "finishing touches" are cleaned up and
taken care of.
The audience at the Pearl seemed to enjoy and
appreciate the band's performance, and
predictably the performance of the group's song
Bonners Ferry elicited the loudest
cheers.
The evening's show was opened by Dillon Dietz,
who performed several of his original
compositions. Mr. Dietz also grew up in Boundary
County, and played with the band at Bonners
Ferry High School. His performance also
impressed the audience at the Pearl.
As usual, the Pearl Theater had great pastries,
treats, and refreshments available for the
evening of music.
Runaway Symphony's next scheduled public
performance is at the Royal Room in Seattle on
May 8.
