Lost Highways is a visceral cover band hailing from all corners of the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Formed in Denver, NC by longtime friends and former bandmates from 2 other bands (The Coming Dawn and later Diamonds & Whiskey), Lost Highways rose from the passion both Andrew Ross and Christopher McKinney had for 80s and 90’s music. Even in their former bands, idle moments in rehearsals were filled with impromptu bursts of their favorite cover tunes. Quietly starting in 2019 as little more than a fun side project, they brought in friends to jam with them at house parties and celebrations.
In the summer of 2023, the yet unnamed band started playing occasional shows publicly with temporary names (some as jokes). After a great deal of positive feedback, and demand for more shows, the band made the decision to kick into gear and take their fun little project to the masses to entertain. Lost Highways was born to create a party atmosphere to celebrate life, love, and music with the people, not just play songs in front of them. Lost Highways has carved out a niche for themselves with their dynamic performances and eclectic repertoire. The band has quickly gained traction in the local music scene with their energetic live shows and their ability to seamlessly blend genres and make the audience a crucial part of their shows. From classic rock anthems to modern pop hits, Lost Highways holds true to the art of keeping audiences engaged, on their feet, and dancing all night long.
Comprised primarily of vocalist and guitarist Andrew Ross and drummer/vocalist/sound engineer Christopher McKinney, whom perform as an acoustic/electric Duo in addition to the full band setup. In the full band configuration, the band is complimented by bass guitarist Doug de Castro. This trio has a passion for delivering unforgettable performances that are unique to the band yet still true to the source material. Each member brings their own unique style and influences to the table, resulting in a diverse sound that appeals to audiences of all ages and musical preference.
With a dedication to creating a fun and engaging atmosphere, a deep catalog of hit songs from the 60s/70s/80s/90s/2ks, and loads of musical talent with a penchant for dynamics and personal expression, Lost Highways is becoming a sought-after act for live music venues, corporate events, and festivals throughout the greater Charlotte area. Their musicality and infectious energy have earned them a loyal and quickly growing following and a budding reputation as one of the must see cover bands in the region. Lost Highways continues to push the boundaries of their own creativity and what a cover band should be, leaving a lasting impression with each and every show.
