The Runaway Catholics

About The Runaway Catholics

Toronto based collective. Born out of the imagination of singer/songwriter Brodie Dakin. Initially as a solo project, he wrote and performed original songs on acoustic guitar around the city. Over time, the songs yearned for fuller instrumentation and he decided it was time to form a band. Now with the help of some sympathetic souls his imagination has an identity w/ each member of the band bringing in their own unique musical personalities. The sound has a touch of of '66 Dylan, the charm of Belle & Sebastian, the sunny pop of The Kinks, Gram & Emmylou's heart melting duets, the county/rock stomp of early Wilco, the mournful melodies of Neil Young and the psychedelic heartbeat of the 13th Floor Elevators. We've recorded one (expired link) so far and will be recording another one in the New Year. We'll also be playing more shows in the New Year. Hope to see some friendly faces at some of them. xo
