The Run Up is a Bay Area based trio that plays melodic rock originals and popular covers. With a refined and spirited sound, the group features prominent harmonies and a danceable rhythm section. Led by brothers Aaron and Daniel Sion, the group have honed their chops performing long and late nights throughout the Northern California and Nevada casino circuit. 

 

The band has also been seen sporting a stripped-down acoustic setup at private engagements, coffeeshops, wineries, and other intimate venues. 

 

Since 2009, The Run Up (previously known as CRUSH) has performed over 450 shows nation-wide, in cities including NYC, LA, SF, Seattle, Portland, Reno, Sacramento, and more. 

 

In 2018, the original song “Make It” was included on 3 national television networks (MTV, CMT, and Freeform TV). The song also received regional radio airplay.
