Southern California roots-rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck return with “Run Back To Me,” an emotionally compelling heartfelt ballad self-produced by the band, and released Friday March 27, ahead of their Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes April and May 2026 U.K. and European tour.
Stream the new single “Run Back To Me.”
Order the album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes.
The initial idea for “Run Back to Me” first came to songwriter Desirae Megan as she was scrolling through Instagram and came across a beautiful photo of Robert Jon and his family. She felt deeply in that moment, thinking about how hard it can be to be away from the ones you love while on tour. A melody immediately popped into her head, and she knew she wanted to write something to help Robert, River, and Rachael feel more connected to Robert Jon while he was away on tour.
Months later a road trip to Phoenix, Arizona, for a RJTW gig with partner and keyboardist for the band, Jake Abernathie, Desirae floated the idea and they immediately began working on it during the 5-hour drive to the gig. This was the initial birth point of what would later be called “Run Back to Me,” a poignant southern rock ballad about staying connected to the ones you love when you’re away.
Since forming in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck; Robert Jon Burrison (vocals, guitar), Henry James (lead guitar, vocals), Andrew Espantman (drums, vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keyboards) – have built a devoted global following through relentless touring and an unshakable live chemistry that bridges Southern rock tradition with California soul.
Fresh off their Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes 2026 U.S. Tour, the band are looking forward to touring the U.K. and Europe again in April and May 2026. Tickets are available from www.robertjonandthewreck.com
