This Boston band is really so great. Their song Last Drag is so powerful and it just sticks in your head!

Milquetoast & Co's lead singer, James McAndrew, just has one of those incredible voices that makes this band unforgettable. Can't wait to see them live!

The quirky Emily Arin came to me via Sonicbids and I was yet again surprised at the wealth of truly interesting talent out there.

Hailing from Ithaca, NY. Ms. Arin is receiving praise from many at the moment including influential WFUV mainstay and Idiot's Delight Host Vin Scelsa.

Emily's package arrived on my doorstep with a hand-written, vintage postcard. Need I say more? I LOVE When You Knew Me When.

Adrian Xavier's music lifts you up and makes you feel like you can achieve greatness.

Seattle born and based, you can catch Adrian at festival's like Bumbershoot and on hipster radio KEXP. You'd be wise to do so!

Adrian Xavier's album Miracle is just what you need to lift your spirits.

Buy Miracle.

Adrienne Pierce is a songwriting force to be reckoned with.  You've heard her on Grey's Anatomy, The L Word and Army Wives among many other TV shows.

Jeff Trott (Sheryl Crow) Produced her latest offering Faultine and 8 time Grammy Award Winner Thom Russo Mixed it.  You're going to want to own it so go here to buy it through our Amazon store.

The songs on Lori Diamond's second album Mystery make you contemplate life, love and finding gratitude for both.

I'll skip the usual comparisons and just say enjoy!

Buy Mystery!

In their own words The Slow Push "make the kind of music that only hipless, pasty Caucasians can pull off."

This stiff, pleasantly jaded band from Down Under has frozen my heart into tiny little pieces. I've fallen for their music pretty hard and I think you will too.

Buy We Blame the Overachievers... when you can, that is.

You've heard her music on Entertainment Tonight, Privileged and Lifetime.  Now Hayley Taylor is on The Highway Girl and I just know you're gonna love her. 

The minute you've finished listening to her the show, go and buy her album!  The girl just knows how to write a song end of story.

Anomie Belle is composer, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Toby Campbell.

"She makes dark social issues eerily lovely", says Doug Haire of KEXP. Originally a classical violinist and songwriter, she released multiple solo records before creating her own beats.

Anomie Belle's Sleeping Patterns is the perfect record to pop in the car and just drive.

The Highway Girl is excited to be back!!  Amy Petty is our first chosen artist for the new The Highway Girl Podcast series.

Amy has such an incredibly rich voice that I have to think of great singers like Joan Osborne and Ann Wilson.  I literally never tire of listening to her sing.

Amy's debut CD is Mystery Keeps You, produced and engineered by Jacob Detering (Bonnie Raitt), and featuring performances by R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow, Peter Mayer) and Eric Grossman (K’s Choice).  You'll be wanting to own it.

Buy Mystery Keeps You!
