Blue Highway

One of America's most celebrated bluegrass bands, Blue Highway has been one of the leading acts in acoustic country music for nearly three decades, showing off a love of traditional styles while embracing the imagination and songcraft of contemporary bluegrass. Founded by guitarist Tim Stafford and bassist Wayne Taylor, Blue Highway's members had enough high-profile experience to make their debut album, 1995's It's a Long, Long Road, an event in bluegrass circles. Their strong ensemble playing and knack for memorable songs served them well on albums like 1999's Blue Highway and 2014's The Game, and 2024's Lonesome State of Mind saw the band -- featuring four of their five original members -- sounding as fresh and invigorating as ever.
