In 2013 these three friends and solo artists joined forces to create Runaway Angel. After many years of pursuing careers individually, the creation of the group was meant to return their collective focus to the love of music that had drawn them to chase their dreams, while having more fun along the way.  This return to their musical passion and friendship resulted in palpable group chemistry, with unforgettable on stage energy.

​

“For me, Runaway Angel was always a way to return my heart to music. To fall back in love with what had drawn me to pursue performance in the first place. Being a solo artist started to become harder, and eventually took away from the creative aspects of music that I had loved so much. I just wanted to be more creative and have fun with my friends,” Says Zegers.

​

In their 4 short years as a group, they've played major stages like Boots and Hearts, Lucknow's Music In The Fields, Trackside and The Havelock Jamboree, opening for major acts like Dallas Smith, Jason Blaine, Chad Brownlee, Brett Kissel, The Road Hammers, and Emerson Drive. 

 

This past summer they added another accomplishment to their growing story by completing their first European tour with shows in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands.

 

“Sharing our music with people all over the world is truly an incredible experience. Music really does bring people together! It felt magical getting to connect through song, and it was also wonderful travelling the world and do something I love with my best friends,” Said Chaplin.

 

In April 2016, Runaway Angel's first record 'No End In Sight,' debuted at #5 on the iTunes Country Albums Chart. Containing singles 'Run Angel Run,' 'My Someday,' 'June' and 'Easy,' the record was a free spirited, gypsy-soul collection of stories that reflected their adventures as a group. These musical stories led them to a 2016 CCMA Discovery Nomination, and a total of 7 Ontario Country Music Award Nominations since joining forces. 

 

On their FACTOR Supported Sophomore album Zero, which debuted at #3 on the iTunes Canadian Country Charts, they give nod to their gypsy souls, while leading the listener down new musical roads.
