Lost Highway Navigators
Swingin' Original Honky-tonk and Classic Country
“Lovin', hurtin', drinkin' and flirtin'”
Lost Highway Navigators deliver original swinging honky-tonk tunes that recall the classic country music of the 50's, 60's and 70's.
"You'll hear straight-up 4/4 country shuffle tunes, one or two barnburners, a trucking song, a tearjerker, and a handful of songs about love gone wrong."
.
“We call our style 'Cosmic Honky-tonk'. But really, it’s simple, old-fashioned, swallow-and-grin country music."
Listeners can expect an upbeat, engaging and energetic performance featuring harmonies, pedal steel, fiddle, telecaster, upright bass, mandolin and harmonica.
With a focus on musicianship, interplay and finely-crafted original tunes, LHN has won fans and made friends everywhere they have played.
The band is led by singer-songwriter and harmonica journeyman Patton MacLean, who has played with Grammy-winners Jim Lauderdale, Billy Strings and bluegrass legend Peter Rowan. The group features some Saskatchewan's finest roots players: Jay Metheral on upright bass, Burke Barlow on pedal steel, Guy Perrin on telecaster, Ryan Shotton on mandolin, and 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.
