Brought together in Charlotte NC, The Hwy is a two-piece Americana rock duo, backed by a strong rhythm section, blending the strong stylistic approaches of Jordan Minor and Nathan Dowdy. They hail from different sides of the musical spectrum, but trace common roots in old-time rock-n-roll and bluegrass. Together they bring forward an energetic, dynamic, yet tender expression, and strive to make music the way they do life: no-holds-barred, honest, passionate, and wild.
There's a certain feeling that accompanies a rare few specific situations. It's the feeling of driving on a remote highway as the sun dips below the mountains, with the cooling desert wind blowing past your outstretched arm... It feels a lot like flying. You get the same feeling when listening to The Hwy play: that same thrill of pure adrenaline, adventure, and pure, unfiltered life.
The Hwy plays original and cover/requested songs featuring rich harmony, dynamic musicality, and pop sensibility, and their live performance is a fun, high-energy show with an emphasis on crowd engagement. (For fans of The Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Simon and Garfunkel, and The Head and the Heart).
