Two Runner was formed in the fall of 2020 when neighbors Paige Anderson & Emilie Rose
became friends and started playing music together. The duo quickly garnered national attention
after being featured on GemsOnVHS. They have toured extensively for the last five years
alongside celebrated acts such as Sierra Ferrel, Nick Shoulders, Watchhouse, and many others.
Anderson, no stranger to the road, grew up in a touring family bluegrass band. After joining
Chuck Ragan’s “Revival Tour” as a teenager, she discovered the power of raw, honest
songwriting and took it to heart.
Their debut album, “Modern Cowboy” was met with national acclaim, as well as their premiere
Gar Hole Records release, “Late Dinner”.
In 2025 the band grew to include multi-instrumentalist Lucas Lawson to accommodate the
band’s ever evolving and innovating sound.
Their second full-length album will be released on Gar Hole Records in Summer 2026.
Wondering where the band name came from? Why did they make a 2 wheel drive 4Runner?

Article + Video"With their close harmonies, sad old timey fiddle and a scratchy, delicately strummed acoustic, Two Runner have a sound strongly rooted in American folk music and sing the kind of wistful bluegrassy folk songs that seem to find their way into your soul where they rattle around quietly reminding you what it means to be alive."
