One of the most esteemed and influential groups in contemporary bluegrass, Blue Highway has spent the past 14 years building a reputation for inspired songwriting and adventurous musicianship, as the group explores the frontiers of bluegrass. With eight highly-acclaimed albums to its credit, Blue Highway has also garnered two Grammy nominations, a Dove Award, topped the Bluegrass Unlimited radio charts, and won well-nigh uncountable International Bluegrass Music Association awards, including Song of the Year for the title track of their most recent CD, Through the Window of a Train (Rounder).

Each a respected artist in his own right, the five members of Blue Highway blend their individual virtuosity into a seamlessly brilliant group sound. Jason Burleson (banjo, guitar, mandolin), Rob Ickes (Dobro), Shawn Lane (mandolin, fiddle, vocals), Tim Stafford (guitar, vocals), and Wayne Taylor (bass, vocals) strike an artful balance between tradition and innovation with their masterful arrangements, precise picking, and soulful lead and harmony vocals.
