About
Lost Highway
Ken Orrick was part of the original Southern California band in the late 70s and now leads today's Lost Highway. After a 15 year absence from Bluegrass he yearned to play again and he and banjo player Dick Brown invited a few friends to play on Monday nights, with no intention to form a band-just to have some fun.Before long there was a little more earnestness to the group. They couldn't help but work on singing parts and arrangements until in 1996 they decided to play a show. In 1997 they seemed to catch fire, and so there they were on stage, Ken and Dick, with Paul Shelasky on fiddle, original Lost Highwayman Jeff Harvey on mandolin and Marshall Andrews on bass, determined to have some fun. Having fun, to top off their excellent music, is why this band continues to pack audiences everywhere they go.
Today Lost Highway is, by many measures, one of the most successful and sought after acts in bluegrass, touring about 10 months and more each year. While watching their show, or listening to their recordings, you'll be struck by the overall impact and unity of the group. They have the tight vocals, excellent musicianship, write much of their own material, and deliver it with real feeling.
