The Walkaways

The Walkaways are a Washington, DC-area based band making original music since 2006, touring actively in DC, VA, MD, NY, NC, and WV. In November 2023, the group released its first single (The Giver) from two brand new albums slated to drop in 2023-24.

The new albums follow critically-acclaimed LPs After the Fall (2017), Romance & Medicine (2012), and Fifty Left to Burn (2008). The Walkaways’ sound is often described as alt-country or Americana (Washington Post, Washington City Paper, Washingtonian Magazine, Arlington Magazine), although their songs also draw from roots rock, traditional country, indie, blues, folk, and classic rock.

Key influences include Wilco, The Band, Fruit Bats, Ryan Adams, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Springsteen, Caamp, Old 97s, and Talking Heads. All band info, pics, vids, tour dates, and media links here: https://thewalkaways.com/
