Run Katie Run explores a fresh mash-up\u00a0of Americana, roots rock, indie-pop, and alternative on debut EP,\u00a0Running on Love<\/em>, due out April 16, 2021<\/p>\n

\u201c…the band [taps] into the unbridled passion of just making music together\u2026 [a] playful mixture\u00a0of folk, pop and Americana\u2026 catchy as hell\u2026\u201d \u2013\u00a0Glide Magazine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Atlanta-based Americana-leaning quintet Run Katie Run is set to release a new EP,\u00a0Running on Love<\/em>, on April 16, 2021. Composed of Kate Coleman (lead vocals), Corey Coleman (guitar), Adam Pendlington (guitar, banjo), Stephen Quinn (bass), and Ian Pendlington (drums), Run Katie Run is one of the few new bands in recent memory that can rock multiple genres, flaunt resonant harmonies, and showcase a dynamic lead vocalist whose passion and power demand attention.\u00a0\u00a0Running on Love<\/em>\u00a0was produced by Kate and the band, recorded and mastered by Corey, and mixed by Ian. While Kate is quick to share credit with her bandmates, the fact is that Run Katie Run centers on her singing, writing, and presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m unbelievably proud of these songs and the people who helped bring them to life,\u201d says Kate. \u201cThe guys and I put a lot of work, love, time, energy, and passion into this EP, and I hope it brings joy to whoever listens to it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Running on Love<\/em>\u00a0winds through the restless drive, complex emotions, and exhilarating key changes of \u201c15 Minutes,\u201d travels between the candor and yearning of \u201cKinda Hoping,\u201d explores the bitter commentary of \u201cNo Way Out,\u201d riding a current of tight rhythm, and summits at Kate\u2019s climactic \u2014 and frankly stunning \u2014 high note in \u201cRunning on Love\u201d as it builds toward an explosive ending. She lays down the law to an irresolute lover on \u201cStay or Leave,\u201d amidst blazing fills and solo breaks from her musicians. And \u201cStolen Time\u201d confirms Run Katie Run\u2019s ascension as one of today\u2019s best harmony bands.<\/p>\n

The first single, \u201c15 Minutes,\u201d was released January 22nd.\u00a0Glide Magazine<\/em>, who premiered the track, wrote, \u201c…the song finds the band tapping into the unbridled passion of just making music together. With its playful mixture of folk, pop and Americana, the song captures what this group of musicians does best. \u2026catchy as hell\u2026 colorful percussion and intricate guitar work, with Kate\u2019s vocals front and center throughout.\u201d\u00a0 The second single, \u201cStolen Time,\u201d will premiere at\u00a0American Songwriter<\/em>\u00a0on February 24th, and it will be released on February 26th. The title track, \u201cRunning on Love,\u201d is the third single, and after a premiere at\u00a0Americana Highways<\/em>\u00a0on March 24th, it will also be released, in advance of the EP, on March 26th.<\/p>\n

Kate\u2019s story traces back to Buffalo, New York, her hometown. Originally interested in dance, Kate explored singing at the urging of her mother, performing \u201cBig Deal\u201d by Leann Rimes in a high school talent show. \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody knew I listened to country music let alone sang,\u201d recalls Kate. \u201cBut everybody was so impressed! They made me feel like a rock star. From that point, I was like, \u2018Oh, okay. I think I get it.\u2019\u201d Although she would immerse herself in the dance program at Buffalo State College, music won her allegiance by her senior year. \u201cDance will always be a part of me,\u201d says Kate. \u201cI even have a dance floor in my dining room! But a gut feeling told me then that it was time to choose music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before graduating with a degree in dance and communications in 2011, Kate had joined her first band. Known as Naughty Dawg, they played cover songs at bars and parties, where she built her stage chops. Already Kate had forged a unique style, inspired by artists as diverse as Patsy Cline, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, and the trio known then as the Dixie Chicks. Through music, Kate met her husband, Corey Coleman, and they started playing as a duo called Kate and Corey, but a move beckoned. \u201cWe wanted the whole lifestyle,\u201d Kate says. \u201cWe wanted to be in a van, going from city to city in the South because the weather would be more agreeable for that. I was like, \u2018Why don\u2019t we check out Atlanta? There are 40 cities within a three-and-a-half-hour radius. We can tour small.\u201d<\/p>\n

They made the move. Soon their calendar filled with bookings at clubs and corporate events. They even tried their luck at a national talent search \u2013 the Country Showdown (hosted by Jewel at Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium) \u2013 and finished in second place in the final round. More significantly, at an open mic one night in Georgia, they were impressed by a trio called Highbeams. They became mutual admirers and close friends over the next several years, so it was no surprise that Kate recruited Adam Pendlington, Stephen Quinn, and Ian Pendlington of Highbeams to play on her first solo album,\u00a0Past<\/em>. Corey played guitar and recorded the album. Then, as offers started coming in to play at clubs and festivals, Kate made them an offer that, luckily, they couldn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked, \u2018Can you guys play with me?\u2019\u201d she says. \u201c\u2018You know the songs already. And we have so much fun just being in a room together. Would you be into keeping this going as a five-piece?\u2019 I wasn\u2019t thinking that this would be my band, with them backing me up. I was like, \u2018We all write. We all play. We all sing. We can all contribute.\u2019 It was the guys who said, \u2018We\u2019d love to do this, although it really should be your thing.\u2019 And it was Adam who said, \u2018It should be called Run Katie Run.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 The band\u2019s name comes from a song title on\u00a0Past<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Their union was kismet. \u201cThey never make me feel limited,\u201d Kate points out. \u2018They don\u2019t make me pigeonhole myself or hold me back or tell me, \u2018That\u2019s not country enough,\u2019 or \u2018We need to stick with this.\u2019 Who needs that? Because as long as it\u2019s us making the music, we\u2019re gonna sound like us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the green light is given, Run Katie Run can\u2019t wait to head out on tour. Where safety protocols are being followed, occasional in-person shows have started to creep back into their schedule. Fans eager to hear them now can see Run Katie Run livestreaming on the last Wednesday of every month at 8 p.m. eastern on their\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0YouTube<\/a>. Kate has also confirmed a pair of solo livestreams: March 16th on\u00a0Americana Highways<\/em><\/a>\u2019 Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0at 7 p.m. eastern, and April 21st on\u00a0The Boot<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0at 9 p.m. eastern.<\/p>\n
