The Walkaways are a metropolitan DC-based band, making original music since 2006. From the beginning The Walkaways’ sound has been called “alt-country”, and that description still fits pretty well. Their songs draw even more broadly, however, from Americana, folk, roots rock, country, indie, and classic rock. Key influences include Ryan Adams, Son Volt, Wilco, Springsteen, Uncle Tupelo, Josh Ritter, The Band, and Old 97s.
