Bandbiography

 

 

HIGHWAY is an old school hard-rock band whose musical influences come from such legends as AC/DC, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, ZZ Top, Guns and Roses or Aerosmith.

The band comes from Sète, in south of France, and was created by two brothers Ben and Romain Chambert (respectively guitar and drums). JM Gantard (bass) and Benjamin Folch (vocals) joined the crew the same year. They started touring the local clubs with repeats of classics of Rock’n’Roll.
 

Concerts were starting to attract more people and the first fans made their appearance.

In 2002, for their second participation at the Duels Rock, in the famous club of Montpellier “The Rockstore”, Highway takes the first place with a clear show in front of a amazing crowd. The prize for winning this competition is the production of their first album called: “Have a Beer!”


The band began to feel more confident on stage and the writing and compositions move to a higher level. The work led to the release of the second album “Goodbye Money” in 2005 in Ole Duke Hill (Eyeless, Mudweiser) n’ Matt E. West‘s “Trendkill Studios”.

“Goodbye Money” allowed the distribution of the two albums by “Brennus Music” (www.brennus-music.com) and “Les Indiz” (www.indiz.fr)
 


 

In 2009, HIGHWAY have participated and won Rock challenge organized by the pub “New Capricorn “in Sète. The first prize was to give a series of shows in London.

Today, the band always hope finding a biggest deal,  is preparing the recording of a third album in 2011 (surely the best one!!) and a new series of gigs across France n’ Europe with their new bass player Sam Marshal, a pure rock n’ roller!

So prepare yourself to a big dose of rock n’ roll, and amazing live performance guaranteed!!
 

        Enjoy n’ have a beer!
