We had the good fortune of connecting with Runaway Sky and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Runaway, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
For us, success is about the intimate connections we build with our listeners. The magic happens when someone out there can find a piece of themselves in our music, whether it’s dancing through the highs or navigating the lows. Knowing that our songs could act as soundtrack to someone’s life, evoking emotions and creating a sense of community, is the most rewarding part of our journey. We’ve discovered the beauty in bonding over shared experiences (and trauma lol). The fact that our music can be a space where someone finds expression, solace, or celebration, makes what we do personal and fulfilling. It’s about more than just the melodies; it’s about the shared journey and the unique community we hope to build together through our songs.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We are a pop/rock with a pinch of country duo made up of 2 girls who are polar opposites, but it works!

We met at a Hear Fort Worth mixer, and made plans to get together and write. Little did we know that when we started writing and singing that it would be so effortless and fun! I’d say the comment we get the most is how tight our harmonies are and being mistaken as sisters because we can sometimes sound like the same person. We haven’t been doing this project for long, but we’re so excited to see what is to come! SPEAKING OF….we are super thrilled about the upcoming release of our FIRST SINGLE “Arizona,” which will be available on all platforms on April 11. We have to give a huge shoutout to everyone involved in making this song come to life and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We’re big southside FW girlies. Some of our favorite places for live music are the Cicada, Magnolia Motor Lounge, and Tulips. The stockyards are always fun to take out of towners. There are so many great restaurants, it’s hard to choose. But honestly, we’re both pretty big homebodies. But we love the botanical gardens and museums. We did not do a good job answering this question. We are sorry. 🙂

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
We definitely would love to thank our families. They have been tremendously supportive and encouraging with this project and our solo careers. We have to thank Hear Fort Worth for bringing us together – we met at one of their monthly mixers and probably wouldn’t be Runaway Sky without them. Thank you to the amazing music community in Fort Worth for being so welcoming, inclusive, and collaborative – this is such a fun place to be an artist! Thank you to our friends and loved ones (and strangers, too) that come out to our shows!
