The Bluebillies are out now with their evocative new single “Run Daddy Run (Mama’s Got a Gun),” a track that draws directly from the childhood experiences of Melody Guarino. This release is available on all streaming platforms, and a limited edition vinyl pressing is also out following its December 2025 arrival. Written by Mark and Melody Guarino, the song presents a deeply human portrait of family breakdown where survival takes precedence over love. The narrative follows the specific moment a mother reaches a breaking point and enters an outlaw reality. This recording hits with a blunt and honest emotional weight that mirrors the storytelling traditions of classic country music.
Produced by the band and engineered by Justin Metz at RockwellPro Studio, the track features the trademark harmony-driven sound of this Americana quartet. The lineup includes Tucker Callander on fiddle and Greg Bucking on guitar, creating a seamless blend of bluegrass and folk textures. This single acts as a preview for the forthcoming EP ‘Bluebillies in Paradise’ which arrives in March 2026. The group continues a legacy of preserving American roots music that began when the husband-and-wife duo first started singing together in 1984. This composition breathes with an authentic and heartfelt spirit that highlights the chemistry of a true family band.
