Blue Highway is a distinguished contemporary bluegrass band that has been bringing their unique brand of acoustic excellence to audiences for over a quarter of a century. Formed in 1994, the ensemble's core has remained remarkably stable throughout the years, with Tim Stafford on guitar and vocals, Wayne Taylor on bass and vocals, Shawn Lane on mandolin, fiddle, and vocals, Jason Burleson on banjo, and the more recent addition of dobro virtuoso Gaven Largent. Hailing from different parts of the southeastern United States, the members of Blue Highway blend their diverse musical influences to create a rich, evocative sound that honors traditional bluegrass while also pushing its boundaries.

Over their illustrious career, Blue Highway has amassed a discography that reflects their deep reverence for bluegrass traditions, as well as their willingness to explore new songwriting and storytelling vistas within the genre. From their debut album, "It's A Long, Long Road," which announced them as a formidable new force in bluegrass, to their silver anniversary project titled "Somewhere Far Away: Silver Anniversary" collection, Blue Highway has demonstrated a commitment to both the history and progressive evolution of bluegrass music. They have received critical acclaim, numerous awards, and have consistently delivered high-quality musicianship, as evidenced in recently revered albums like "Original Traditional," and "The Game." Their work represents a compelling journey through the heartlands of bluegrass, bringing the spirit of Appalachian music into the contemporary era with impeccable skill and passionate artistry.
