About Me

THB on Twitter
Featured on MTV If you are a fan of MTV and its TV shows, keep your ears open because this coming season of programming will be featuring some of our songs!
So far we have had three (3) of our songs featured on MTV's 1 dating show "NeXt". Listen carefully to hear "So Beautiful", "A Grown up Child's Song", and fan favorite "Superman".
Listen for The Highway Beautiful on other shows as well, cause there is a very good chance that you'll hear us on more than just "NeXt"!
AN UPDATED [AUTO]BIOGRAPHY Some folks have said the last bio was too casual. . . being that it was written in the first person and poked fun at that person (me). Here is a more "professional" sounding look at who The Highway Beautiful(me) is:)
***NOTE: If you would like to read the old bio, it is in a blog at the top of the page, as is a lengthy version of how i entered into music. . . enjoy.

WINNER- Pop Male Vocalist of the Year 2006- Los Angeles Music Awards
WINNER- Best New Original Band 2006- Buffalo Music Awards, Buffalo, NY
The Highway Beautiful is the music of singer/ songwriter Jason Jurewicz. Originally an acoustic solo project, Jason’s music is now accompanied by live drums and electronic loops and swirls, making The Highway Beautiful’s live performance a unique and beautiful experience.
The Highway Beautiful hopes to relate to people on an emotional level, getting in their heads to make them think about the world around them and who they are, raising questions about the things they take for granted and the ideas they have grown to embrace all the while leaving the listener with a sense of hope.
Since it’s inception in September 2004, The Highway Beautiful has performed over 250 shows across the country appearing with artists such as Sarah Slean, Charlotte Martin, Kevin Max, Zox, Skillet, Hawk Nelson, John Rueben, Tree 63, The Myriad, and Shiny Toy Guns.
The Highway Beautiful also completed a self-produced full-length album entitled “the things that lights can hide” independently released earlier this year.
BUY THE NEW ALBUM In January of 2006 "THE THINGS THAT LIGHTS CAN HIDE" the debut album from The Highway Beautiful was released and i think it sounds pretty good:)
If you listen to any of the songs in my "music player" on this page, you are listening to some of the tracks from the record AND if you like what you hear and are interested in buy it, you can purchase it for only $12.00 from CD Baby or the website.
You can also pick up the album through iTunesfor only $.99 per song or $9.99 for the whole album, so if you prefer downloading it, please do it that way:)

Influences:

Everything you listen to from the time you're a kid, even if it's just in your friend's car one day influences you in some way. I grew up listening to oldies (mostly 60's music) I loved the Beach Boys, my dad made me listen to country which I grew to love. Now my list of bands I wish would ask me to join include, but are not limited to:

The Wallflowers
Third Eye Blind
Our Lady Peace
The Paperboys
Jars of Clay
Dishwalla
Matthew
Travis

I recommend each of these groups whole-heartedly:) I know they are not the normal "scene" bands, many of which I also love, but go and look for some of these guys, you won't regret it.

Sounds Like:

We like to call it "indie/ acoustic/ intelligent pop" . . .

That means we write music with an acoustic guitar, add live drums and electronic loops, some ambient swirls then sing pretty melodies with lyrics that mean something.
