HIGHWIRE

About Me


HIGHWIRE is a band of five outstanding musicians playing the songs that take you back to the decades of arena rock. HIGHWIRE's song list occupies the middle ground between hard rock and the softer adult oriented rock, and is typified by obvious tempo changes, vocal crescendos, and melodramatic lyrical narratives. With all members on microphone, the band offers tremendous harmonies and vocal depth.
Within one year of forming, the band has attracted the attention of a loyal group of followers as well as other musicians. HIGHWIRE has been joined onstage by guest musicians including Sammy Hagar and Neil Schon as well as members of Guns & Roses, Great White, Joan Jett, Skid Row, Dokken, Dio, Rainbow and Quiet Riot to name only a few.
HIGHWIRE is a rock and roll band that insists on playing live with no tracks, no exceptions. The listener will hear a cross section of the songs that dominated the airwaves during the decades of arena and anthem rock. HIGHWIRE thought smartly on the vibe, feel and sequence of the songs. This band will surprise you and have you singing, dancing and rocking!!!
