Runnin' Late is a Delaware based classic rock band with influences from both jazz and blues. Around the core of bass, drums, and guitar, we feature keyboards and saxophone, enabling us to cover territory often untouched by traditional guitar-based rock bands. We mix covers with originals - with a debut CD released in 2014. Runnin' Late was a finalist in the 2014 WMGK Rock MD competition held at the Keswick Theatre.
If you're into groups like Van Morrison, Steely Dan, Chicago, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Joe Cocker, Dave Matthews, and more, come check us out. You won't be disappointed!
Now on iTunes - Runnin' Late Debut CD!
Runnin' Late's debut album was released to a SOLD OUT Queen Theater in Wilmington, DE on February 21, 2014. Produced by drummer / recording engineer Steve Breske, this self-titled compilation features 11 originals plus one quasi-original version of a classic cover. Unlike bands whose song writing centers around a single member, Runnin' Late's originals were created with lyrics and music from four of the six members and a heavy dose of creative input from the other two. Purchase a CD at any Runnin' Late show or download digitally at iTunes, Amazon.com, and CDBaby.
Holiday Show at the Queen - Even Years
In response to the feeling that Christmas and the holiday season seem to arrive earlier with each passing year, Runnin’ Late has changed our Holiday Show from an annual event to a biennial event. Holiday shows will now be held on even years (2026, 2028, etc). We hope to continue selling out the Queen and look forward to extending holiday greetings to our friends – albiet half as often. On this "even year" our Holiday Show is set for Saturday Night December 12, 2026 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
