From the moment of their brilliant self-titled debut in 2013, it’s been clear that Flatt Lonesome is, as the title of its 3rd album, A Runaway Train. Multiple IBMA, SPBGMA and Dove nominations and awards, top charting songs, Billboard charting albums, countless media appearances, including the Grand Ole Opry and a demanding tour schedule all combine in testimony to the phenomenon that is Flatt Lonesome. In the wake of three top IBMA honours in 2016, (Vocal Group, Song, and Album of the Year), and now, multiple nominations for the 2017 awards, (Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year), you might wonder, where do they go from here?

This stunning commissioned song cycle links eight European cities in creative reconciliation. The songs, written by local composers and poets, are brought together in an interlocking suite of musical material, composed by the multi-linguist and international humanitarian, Nigel Osborne, which creates a coherent journey between the styles and characters of the songs and cities.
