"Lovin', Hurtin', Drinkin' and Flirtin'"

 

“We call our music 'Cosmic Honky-tonk'. But really, it’s simple, old-fashioned, swallow-and-grin country music.  Expect pedal steel, fiddle, telecaster, upright bass, harmonica, and a sackful of tunes about lovin', hurtin',drinkin' and flirtin'. ” 

Led by singer, songwriter and harmonica journeyman Patton MacLean, Lost Highway Navigators feature some Saskatchewan's finest roots players.

This machine features Jay “Blue Steel” Metheral on upright bass, Keith “Yoda” Mcconnell on pedal steel,  Guy “Dr. Fingers” Perrin on telecaster,  James “Man of” Steele on fiddle, Ryan “Daddy Blue Eyes” Shotton on mandolin, and “Smilin'Brad" Stratychuk on drums.Together, they produce music that is seductively simple and perfect for two-stepping - except when broken by a rasping lament or echoing instrumental, always delivering that familiar upbeat shuffle and wry, heartworn lyricism. 

2023 was a huge year for the Navigators. Mainstage appearances at Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, Prairie Hall Music Festival, Spring Fling and Waskesiu Lakeside Music Festival. We rolled out 5 new performance videos with Sask One Mic Recording Series, We debuted our singles on CFCR Community Radio and CJTR Community Radio.  In December, we celebrated  2 years of our signature Cosmic Honky-tonk Brunch at Saskatoon's Capitol Music Club.

It has been a long road back from COVID, but it looks like 2024 is going to be another stellar year! We are back at Cosmic Honkytonk Brunch on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month until mid- May, then taking the summer off for a busy festival season!

Hope to see you soon!
