Highway 54 - CD Release Party
Weaving folk and rock influences through a bluesy backdrop, HWY 54 has
created a sound that's well-crafted and original. Their sound pulls it’s strength from bluesy vocals mixed with sometimes swampy undertones, sometimes funky overtones, and sometimes straight ahead kick-ass rock. For the last year the band has been developing their original sound further, using material written by different band members - and they’re ready to release that CD -- come on down to celebrate with them!!
