The band will celebrate their tenth anniversary in style with two sets. The first will highlight songs from the band's catalogue, reuniting them with former members, Dan Kennedy, Barbara Chusid, Tom Broeske and Ellie Erickson. The second set will feature Bellatopia performed in its entirety.

Co-produced with Brian Daly, Bellatopia is easily the band's most accomplished recording to date. The Getaway Drivers radiate edgy, melodious, alt-rock energy. In less capable hands, their aggressive embrace of styles and moods might prove bewildering but the Getaway Drivers carve a deep musical signature that makes it all work. Gritty western blues, lush pop ballads, driving progressive rock, sweet-tea country nostalgia somehow find common ground in the silky, dark acoustic guitar framework. The pairing of cracked-leather and mercury smooth vocals with possessed, beautifully-fractured harmonics is captivating. Bluesy, growling electric guitar, spooky-sweet touches of mandolin, and a relentlessly solid rhythm section complete what is a solid, satisfying musical experience.
