FEATURING:    HIGHWAY J

Highway J (a five piece modern rock band) features dynamic vocals accompanied by rock riffs that sometimes hint at “experimental”. The idea is to make “one sound” and leave a lasting sense of melody without compromising honesty or popular appeal. With over a decade of road and studio experience, Highway J has developed the art of appealing to the most stringent musician and still fully engaging the casual listener. Their songs take little effort to enjoy yet contain layers of intricacy that keep interest for lengths of time.

Highway J live can offer the spectrum of experiences. The band can handle 3 hour full stage sets or strip down to a warm acoustic set overnight. Although the band enjoys featuring its original material, they have an impressive cover catalogue. Covers include current popular favorites as well as underground signatures. Performances are dynamic. They often contain energetic showmanship, unique arrangements on popular songs, singer/songwriter duo, elaborate lights and impromptu jams. No show is the same other than the effort given by the members. They engage the audience and offer them to experience the music along with the band.

The soul of Highway J is un-rooted. It sticks to very few rules and uses every member’s personal influence to define their sound. They go with the moniker “If it sounds good, it’s good”. Without a specific agenda, Highway J still tackles heavy issues and is unafraid to write about common themes. Many tracks take on love, friendship, loss and injustice.

FEATURING:    HARVEST SONS

Harvest Sons have been blazing the Midwest back roads for years, opening for everyone from Anderson East, to Honeysuckle, to Way Down Wanderers, performing songs born out of a Rust Belt state of mind, or so says front man, Seth Samuelson Cocquit.

Americana Highways called Harvest Sons’ 2019 release Flat Black Sessions, Volume 2 “a solid Rust Belt Americana EP”, recorded at Flat Black Studios in Lone Tree, Iowa. 

You can also hear some of Seth’s fiddle work on John Till’s “Work Away the Day” album, Joe Stamm’s “Fetch Me”, and see him live around Central Illinois with friends Edward David Anderson’s Black Dirt Revival and Chicago Farmer.

The Music -
“Call it what you want… Rust Belt Americana, Black Dirt Country, call it authentic. The musical equivalent of driving home from work on a gravel road in your pickup truck, this is real music. Harvest Sons is one of those bands whose music sounds familiar the first time you hear it and gets better with each listening.” - Jerry Kolb, Producer and Founder of WTVP’s State & Water (PBS Peoria)

The band pulls as much from the Classic Rock genre than anywhere else, which is reflective in the band's set list, consisting of Neil Young, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones, and John Prine, but not to leave out modern Americana artists and heroes Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, Avett Bros, and Lumineers, just to name a few. 

The band’s live show consists mainly of songs crafted, again, as aforementioned out of a Rust Belt state of mind, which for the band is the main driver for making music. “It’s not lost on me that we’re living in a leaving state - Illinois that is. Central Illinois especially has seen its hard times since the manufacturing economy and farming economy have transitioned, often leaving behind the people that built those companies to fend for themselves. I’ve seen how corporate greed and corruption have left many families with nothing. Most of the band members were around Galesburg, IL when Maytag picked up and left for Mexico back in 2001. We all knew friends whose parents lost everything, and that sticks with you forever. 

Our mission is to tell that story and to spread some love around to those who ain’t felt it enough lately.”

Harvest Sons consists of Nik Grafelman, Daniel Watkins, Nathan Cowan and Nathan Glaser.
