Just thought I’d let y’all know, as of June, and after 24 years, I am back singing and playing again with Lost Highway. We’re having a blast and hope to see you around the festivals this year and next.

The band right now consists of Ken Orrick (guitar/vocal), Josh Tharp (banjo/vocal), Tracy Welzig (bass), Nick Haney (guitar/vocal) and Matt Hotte (fiddle)..

Thanks and see y’all soon..
