Shenandoah Run

Shenandoah Run is a nine-member classic and contemporary folk group from the Washington, DC area who has performed together for over two and a half years.  Their individual musicality, vocal and instrumental talent, as well as a strong desire to keep folk music alive and fresh is key to the group’s success.  Shenandoah Run blends vintage and contemporary folk music in a manner that appeals to all listeners. The band presents the songs and sounds of American folk music, with an occasional infusion of songs from other lands and from the worlds of country and bluegrass.  From the esoteric to the toe-tappingly familiar, their songs are treated to a lush six-part vocal harmony and skillful instrumental backing that defines what is becoming their instantly recognizable sound.  Their arrangements are fresh, varied, and often unexpected, while keeping with the spirit of the folk music sound and they deliver it all with a chemistry that delights both audiences and the performers themselves.
