With a stellar career spanning two decades as the leader of Hollerado and a 1/4 of supergroup Anyway Gang, Menno Versteeg is by no means a stranger to the stage and the airwaves. With literally thousands of shows in over twenty countries, ten Top 10 singles, one Gold Record and one #1 Alternative Single, Versteeg has seen and done his fair share, but Why We Run marks the first time he's releasing music under his own.

Over the course of Why We Run's 12 songs, Versteeg is at his lyrical best and most musically diverse. With the soft indie folk of debut single "Fish Out Of Water" featuring Doug Paisley, the alt-country rambunctiousness of "Change A Tire" or the contemplative album closer "A Light On In You", Versteeg channels his wide musical knowledge and pulls from every corner of his impressive career. The result is a record that is an artist at his most honest, most vulnerable and most exciting, twenty years in.
