“Award-winning songwriters Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen’s Fugitive Songs is a 19-song journey across America. This innovative song cycle, conceived as half-musical/half-hootenanny, spotlights people on the run. Fugitive Songs shares the stories of people who find connection and clarity, and how their lives and histories unexpectedly intertwine.
Blending traditional folk music with contemporary pop and gospel, Fugitive Songs offers a new sound for a restless America. This eclectic score provides exceptional material for a wide range of experienced singers, and delivers poignant and thought-provoking lyrics that capture each character’s “reasons to run.”
Run time of Fugitive Songs is approximately 2 hours with one 15 minute intermission.
