About Runaway Soul
Runaway Soul – An Exquisite Swing Trio, Based in Arezzo, Italy
Conceived in the summer of 2021, Runaway Soul emerged as a refined ensemble, captivating audiences in the finest clubs between Florence and Arezzo. Their impeccable artistry quickly earned them invitations to exclusive weddings and private celebrations throughout the Chianti region, and soon they were gracing the illustrious Frescobaldi estate, where they cultivated relationships with discerning event planners. Today, this bespoke trio travels across Italy, bringing its curated sound to weddings and distinguished gatherings.
They are regularly commissioned for celebrations at Agriturismo Terre di Nano in Siena and Relais Guado Al Sole in Pisa, two of Tuscany’s most enchanting venues.
During the summer of 2023, Runaway Soul performed elegant aperitifs and wedding parties along the Tuscan coast, including coveted appearances on the islands of Giglio and Elba. Their exceptional talent has been widely recognised, with over sixty performances already scheduled this year alone.
The ensemble masterfully interprets Italian swing and dance, alongside jazzy, funky, and irresistibly danceable selections. Their repertoire also encompasses a rich array of traditional Tuscan melodies and beloved Italian folk classics, ensuring a perfectly refined musical backdrop for any occasion.
Line‑Up Options
- Primary configuration: a sophisticated trio featuring saxophone, guitar with vocals, and drums.
- Expandable to a six‑piece roaming ensemble, with the addition of double bass, trumpet, and other wind instruments.

Amazing night with Runaway Soul!
November 2025
Stop looking and book this band! These guys were amazing and perfect in every way. I would highly recommend booking them and am sure they will exceed any expectations. We were traveling to Italy and booked a large villa/ castle for the week. During our stay we had a small (14 guests) 70th birthday party at a castle for our father, we booked RunAway Soul to play for a few hours during/ and after dinner. There mood and anticipation of the volume was perfect! They really added an extra special experience to the overall party and a really nice energy that everyone enjoyed. They played light background during dinner and then really cranked up the performance after dinner. The entire band was kind, friendly, approachable and all guests loved them. They defiantly made the entire experience memorable and added to am already very special event. By the end of the night…they were taking guest requests and even covered a Metallica song that had everyone amazed. They had a very impressive catalogue of songs and very varied styles of music. I immediately tried to book them for another dinner later in the week, but it was last minute, and they were already booked for the date. I would 100% use and book them again. They were great, music was amazing and I would super highly recommend them!

Thanks to Runaway Soul (and Fix The Music), this wedding was one of the most beautiful wedding parties I have ever had the pleasure of organising. The four passionate musicians created a fantastic atmosphere for the couple and their guests. They were an important part of the day's planning and guest management. It was great fun working with them. Unfortunately, I only speak German and English, but that wasn't a problem at all. Two of the musicians also spoke English very well. They were punctual and always in a good mood. The organisation and arrangements before the celebration were also flawless. I can highly recommend Runaway Souls and the entire Fix the Music team. I will definitely be in touch and book them again for the next wedding in Tuscany.

Dear Marco,
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re truly happy to know that we could contribute to making such a special day unforgettable. It was a real pleasure working with you and being part of the celebration.
Marco, your savoir-faire and flawless organisation were outstanding — you are truly an excellent wedding planner. We’re delighted that language was never a barrier and that the atmosphere reached everyone just as we hoped.
We can’t wait to play for you again in Tuscany and create more unforgettable memories together!
With gratitude and warm regards,
Runaway Soul 🎶✨
We had the pleasure of having this fantastic band perform at the get-together for our wedding in Italy, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Their set was a perfect mix of Italian classics, swing, and modern pop songs, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that beautifully matched the relaxed yet festive vibe we had hoped for. From the very beginning, communication was smooth and professional. The band was incredibly flexible and responsive to our many requests during the planning phase. On the night of the event, they delivered an outstanding performance with great intuition for the right songs at the right moments, engaging with our guests and even taking spontaneous requests. They ended up playing for an extra hour beyond the agreed time, simply because the party was in full swing. We couldn’t be more grateful and would recommend them without hesitation. They truly set the tone for a joyful and memorable celebration.

Dear Sebastian,
Thank you for your generous words— the pleasure was truly ours! You and your wonderful bride are such a beautiful, kind, and down‑to‑earth couple, and your impeccable organization made every step effortless for us.
Playing for you and your guests at Villa Olimpia was pure joy ;) the energy and warmth you brought to the evening inspired us to keep the music going well beyond the planned set.
We’re thrilled that our mix of Italian classics, swing, and modern pop helped create the relaxed yet festive atmosphere you envisioned. Knowing the music struck the right chord and added to the magic of your celebration means the world to us.
Thank you again for inviting us to be part of such a memorable occasion.
We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness, and we hope our paths cross again someday!
Warmest regards,
RS
Had the absolute delight of Runaway Soul performing at our wedding. They were extremely collaborative when it came to hearing our wants for the vibe and energy of the dance floor and were an absolute hit. They really kept the party going and had guests asking us all weekend long how we found them. Couldn't recommend them more!
