Run The River is described like "the sound of a cup of tea with an old friend on a lonely night; of old bones in a new suit; and of the unexpected fervour of a deep sleep suddenly broken."
Run The River is the project of Daniel Walters, a multi-instrumentalist from Huddersfield via Teesside. Inspired by the likes of Laura Marling, Iron and Wine, and Fleet Foxes, he combines folky melodies with intricate guitar work, funnelled through a thick prism of Northernness.
