MCD Present: County Line Runner

County Line Runner announces headline show at The Grand Social

Memories live on in songs. For County Line Runner, moments echo inside of notes, melodies, beats,

keyboards, and guitar feedback. The sonic alter ego of singer songwriter Adam Day, County Line Runner

bottles time inside of each song and imparts a piece of himself on every composition. Adam found himself at a

crossroads when County Line Runner was born, as life took an unexpected—though wholly welcome— turn

when his girlfriend became pregnant and he “decided it was time to get a proper job.” It didn’t quite pan out

as the couple split soon after his son’s birth, so Day turned to songwriting.

His debut songs “Hard to Find” and “Wide Eyes” quietly caught fire. With over one million combined Spotify

streams and endorsements from BBC Music, Clash Magazine, and more, he landed a deal with Alex Da Kid’s

KIDinaKORNER in early 2019. Named after a bank robber from an eighties cop show who robbed banks across

county lines, the moniker summarizes his place at a handful of intersections—upbeat energy versus

introverted vulnerability, folk sensibilities versus rock ambition, and nostalgia-for-days-gone-by versus hope-

for-the-future. His upcoming single “Saw You In A Dream” illuminates the scope of his signature style. The

track unfolds into a sweeping invitation, “You come to me, you come to me in the middle of the night.”

County Lines will play the Grand Social on Tuesday October 15 th with tickets from €13 on sale Friday 21 st

June from 9am.
