Charleston, SC's Slow Runner formed in 2003 around the talents of singer/songwriter Michael Flynn and multi-instrumentalist Josh Kaler. The band’s melodic, laid-back blend of Shins-inspired indie rock, peppered with the occasional blast of Weezer- esque power pop.

Michael's songs have been featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless, and on commercials for useful products like cars and shampoo. He’s also won a few awards for songwriting, including 1st runner up for the John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship in 2001. His band Slow Runner has released 5 full length albums, an EP, and several singles. They spent some time on one of SonyBMG’s labels and have toured internationally with acts like The Avett Brothers, Josh Ritter, Built to Spill, William Fitzsimmons, and many others.

Michael released his first solo album, ‘Face in the Cloud,’ in 2014 and the follow up ‘Pretend Like’ in 2018. He consistently threatens to someday write a self-help book called ‘Stop Trying to Look Like What You Used To Look Like And Just Look Like What You Look Like!’ but none of his friends actually think he’ll follow through.
