The Human Highway are back for a run of WA shows to celebrate 10 years since their first outing, coming to Lyrics Underground on November 17th.
Led by Fremantle’s David Hyams, who audiences have testified bears an uncanny vocal resemblance to the great man himself, the 6-piece line up also features Rose Parker on vocals and guitar, bassist Josh Dyson, drummer Russell Wilson, fiddler Mick Patrick, and Jeremy Threlfall on pedal steel and guitar.
Starting at Fremantle’s Newport Record Club series back in 2014, the band has covered music from the beginning of Young’s solo career right through to the 21st century and are equally adept at capturing the essence of Young’s two primary styles: from the gentle folk and country-rock of albums like “Comes A Time”, to the electric guitar driven rock of the Crazy Horse days. Reviewers have commented on the authenticity of their performance and how they can “dig deep” – playing not only expected hits, but many lesser known Neil Young numbers.
“The Human Highway are awesome.
We ran an evening with them at The Quarry Amphitheatre…and it was a sell-out success, with the crowd loving the performance and shouting for several encores…We had only positive feedback from the crowd”
Mark Taylor, Wasup Promotions (Quarry Amphitheatre)
“The talent and authenticity of the group was outstanding, and we received many comments of congratulations and praise for the night’s entertainment.
Drew Dymond, Manager Albany Entertainment Centre
” Some of the audience were heard commenting that if they had closed their eyes, they would have believed they were listening to the great man himself! Everyone left with a smile on their face! “
