About Walker's Run: Nearly twenty years ago, guitarist and songwriter Brennan Gilmore began gathering musicians who, like Gilmore, had grown up in the rich traditions of Appalachian music and fused them with a wide range of other musical influences.  The musical collective of Walker’s Run mutated and evolved over the years and now includes fiddler Nate Leath, mandolinist Daniel Knicely, and original bassist Zack Blatter.  Will Lee, a founding member with Knicely of the legendary Virginia newgrass band Magraw Gap will be joining the band for this run through Virginia.  The new line-up of Walker's Run stretches even further beyond the realm of traditional Americana, incorporating African, jazz, and punk influences.

Walker's Run and its members have appeared on prominent stages throughout the United States and overseas, including the Kennedy Center, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, El Djem, Tunisia, Theater at Lime Kiln, and many more.
