Runaway Grooms (w/ Nymbis)

Runaway Grooms

Born from the rich culture of the Colorado mountains, The Runaway Grooms are bringing a refreshing take on contemporary jam band music. With pocket grooves, syncopated rhythms, and expansive tones, the band captures elements of funk and psychedelic rock while simultaneously celebrating traditional songwriting roots of Americana music. Dueling guitar solos, 3-part harmonies, and a screaming lap steel guitar, combine to create a unique soundscape that takes listeners through an experiential musical journey. The Colorado based band formed when frontman, Adam Tobin, met guitarist, Zac Cialek, at employee housing for a ski resort. The two were joined by drummer and long time friend, Justin Bissett, shortly after and formed the original lineup of the band. Bassist/vocalist, Zach Gilliam, and keyboardist, Cody Scott, joined the band in November 2019. The addition of the new members helped catalyze the evolution of the band’s sound.

Nymbis

NYMBIS is the result of decades of wide-ranging and varied musical influences on four Upstate guys who grew up in the 90s.With two full length albums already under their belt (Nymbis and Moon Moth), and a third album in the works, their growing catalogue has a sonic range and depth of character that is not easily defined. Spearheaded by Chuck Valentine (School Bus Yellow), NYMBIS unfolds as a genre-bending byproduct of 80s pop, classic rock, Irish folk, soul, grunge and jam music. Songs from each album release have been featured on WEXT Radio, and their high energy live shows display unique original material mixed with an array of fun covers that are all over the map. The word NYMBIS is a family of moths characterized by constant change. In this spirit, NYMBIS is always evolving and every show is a new journey full of surprises.
