Bogarts was filled to the brim Saturday night as the Runarounds brought their Minivan Tour,
with support from The Takes to Cincinnati, Ohio.
The night opened on an intimate note, with The Takes delivering a beautiful blend of bluegrass,
folk, and rock. Their set felt warm and personal, slowly building from calm, reflective moments
into something more immersive.
A standout performance of “Eleanor” captured the crowd’s attention, while their closing track,
“Take My Time” had the crowd wanting more.
Once the Runarounds took the stage, the energy completely shifted.
The room transformed into an upbeat, campy, high energy experience that felt like a roadtrip you
didn’t want to end.
The crowd was all in, every lyric shouted back, every beat matched with movement. Songs like
“Shoelaces” and “Arrhythmia” definitely have a catchy beat to them.
Their cover of “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” brought a fresh twist to a classic, leading straight
into a drum solo that pushed the night into full gear.
They closed with “Senior Year” but that wasn’t enough for Cincinnati. Chants of “One More
Song” echoed through Bogarts until the band returned for an encore that felt even more personal
and authentic. The band’s encore consisted of a rendition of “Valerie” By Mark Ronson and Amy
Winhouse and their most popular song “Downtown.”
“This is a dream come true, thanks for singing along” William Lipton told the crowd.
The Runarounds didn’t just put on a good show, they created the kind of night you wish you
could go back to the second it’s over.
