A Volcano. A Geyser. An artesian well. What do they have in common? They cannot be contained--Just like Lincoln Highway! We are a high -powered alternative-country force of nature that can't be stopped! Lincoln Highway is a 5-piece power country band from northeast Indiana who has forward thinking, while keeping a hand on the best of the past. Don't expect rehash with this bunch of young, creative, and energetic musicians. The band was started in late 2010 from a mixture of musicians from very succesful bands throughout the area. "Brandon and I sat down one day and day dreamed about a young country band that could exemplify the word 'Maverick.' " says Barry, lead guitarist and vocals. " We wanted young, energetic musicians that were not afraid to take creative chances, which would allow us to bring the fans into the moment with us." With that said, Brandon and Barry started their search. "When Barry and I heard Matt Wood and Travis Parsons play together, we knew we had to have them. They were the perfect match for what we were trying to accomplish," said Brandon, Lead singer. Barry said, "Austin Howey showed up all flashy and full of heart. We couldnt miss that in the mix." The rest was history. Lincoln Highway has worked with and shared the stage with many many accomplished artist. To name a few... Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Randy Travis. Our goal is to pave our own way---the Lincoln HighWAY.

Fav. Word: "Bam"
Brandon grew up in a little small town in Northeast Indiana called Monroeville. He is a HUGE sports fan and has a soft spot for Chicago Cubs baseball. Growing up, he was always exposed to the arts by his parents. " My parents have always been the driving force in my musical career. They've been there since i was kid learning how to play the organ and dealing with the headaches of me singing at the top of my lungs in the shower. Ya know, i always wondered why my dad went out to the garage to work on stuff everytime i took a shower and turned on the tunes...." Along with playing sports, Brandon also enjoyed his time in high school in the show choir. He had a role in the musical "Footloose" and that was when it happenend.... " After the musical, i just knew it. I knew that my passion was to be on a stage and entertaining people. Growing up, I was influenced by some of the best country artists of all time like Garth Brooks and King George. I figured, why not pursue this new found passion with my love for country music!" Fast forward to today, where you can find Brandon playing with Lincoln Highway. "It has been a dream come true. To be a part of this band means so much to me. God has blessed me beyond my years. I absolutely love playing with the Barry, Matt, Travis, and Austin. I really look forward to what the future may bring sharing a stage every night with some of my best friends."
