The Runes
The Runes, an Austin, TX. quintet, boasts influences ranging from the
Beatles to Loudon Wainwright III, and it shows. The band consists
of Matt Kjeldsen (vocals, guitars, percussion) helped by band mates
Brian Collins (electric, acoustic, and lap steel guitars),
Carrie Miller (cello, violin), Jimmy Holloway (drums, percussion), and
Julie Carlton (bass and fretless bass).
Since 1994, the Runes have performed and recorded
predominantly in Austin, Texas. The Runes started out as a coffee
house acoustic ensemble for singer/songwriters and artists and
developed into a very entertaining performing rock band and
finally, morphed into the eclectic group of recording artists they
remain to this day. The Runes incorporate artistic styles from
melodic pop to straight ahead rock and from salsa/reggae to
acoustic balladry, The Runes take their virtual cornucopia of
instruments and expertly construct various musical backgrounds for
intelligent, witty, thought provoking, and sometimes
humorous lyrics.
