With a style all their own, Mountain Highway was an authentic young family band steeped in traditional bluegrass, country, and gospel music originally made famous by icons like Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and Ralph Stanley. The band was comprised of sibling singers who played banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin, with their father played upright bass. The group was often heralded for its tight family harmony.
Based in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Mountain Highway traveled extensively to perform at popular events from New York to Texas. A few notable bookings were
Bluegrass Christmas in the Smokies (TN),
Camp Springs Bluegrass Festival (NC),
Dollywood Harvest Festival (TN),
Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Celebration (KY), and the
Wind Gap Bluegrass Festival (PA). The band’s endorsements included:
Deering Banjos,
GHS Strings, and
Shubb Capos.
After seeing them perform in Nashville, Debra Jean Wagoner said,
“I had chill bumps. Their music transported me back to the days when my father Porter Wagoner took me to hear bluegrass at the Ryman Auditorium.”
