Lost Highway is built around the smooth lead singing and rhythm guitar of Ken Orrick. His warm, soulful voice and his fine original songs, written in the best traditional style, define the Lost Highway sound. He is a stylist in the tradition of his musical mentors: the Stanley Brothers, Larry Sparks, Lester Flatt and Melvin Goins. Ken's singing and song writing have received international attention and can be heard on many recordings including the upcoming HBO television program, November Rain. Eric Uglum applies his powerful and heartfelt vocals as well as his expressive lead playing on guitar and mandolin. A sought-after session player, Eric's playing and singing can be heard on over fifty CD projects to date. He has performed or recorded with notables such as Alison Krauss and Ralph Stanley. Dick Brown's precise and rock solid banjo playing and smooth baritone vocal reflect the influence of those he admires: Earl Scruggs, J.D. Crowe, Bill Emerson and Alan Munde. Dick has performed with such notables as Lynn Morris, David Parmley and Laurie Lewis. Fiddler Mike Tatar plays in the style of his mentors Benny Martin and Bobby Hicks. A graduate of both UCSC and the music program at South Plains College in Leveland, Texas, Mike has performed with several groups including The David Grisman Bluegrass Experience and The Laurel Canyon Ramblers. Bassist, Joe Ash, also a graduate of the music program at South Plains College, has been a long time mainstay in the California bluegrass scene. He has recently performed with Ron Speers and Pacific Crest. The members of Lost Highway are united in their love and respect for traditional bluegrass. With their unforgettable trio harmonies, amazing instrumental prowess and relaxed, friendly stage manner, they are sure to be a hit at any festival or concert stage.
