The Walkaways are a metropolitan DC-based band, making music since 2006. The band released its fourth full-length album entitled “In Sepia” in 2024. This follows Fifty Left to Burn (2008) and Romance and Medicine (2012), recorded and co-produced with Grammy-nominated producer John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Indigo Girls, The Rankin Family, Iris Dement), and "After the Fall" in 2017. The band plans to release its fifth full length album in the summer of 2025.

From the beginning The Walkaways' sound has been called "alt-country" (Washington Post, Washington City Paper, Washingtonian Magazine), and that description still fits pretty well. Their songs draw even more broadly, however, from Americana, roots rock, country, indie folk, and classic rock. Key influences include Ryan Adams, Son Volt, Wilco, Springsteen, Uncle Tupelo, The Band, and Old 97s.

You can hear The Walkaways play live at popular DC-area venues that support original music, including Pearl Street Warehouse, Solace Outpost, Vanish Farmwoods Brewery, Evening Star Cafe, Lena’s Beer Garden, 7 Locks Brewing, Westover Beer Garden, along with local festivals, charity events, and every now and then at venues in NYC like Arlene's Grocery and Rockwood Music Hall.
