ET Highway

Biography:

ET Highway is an 'improvised folk' mostly-acoustic band with both modern and traditional influences based in Carson City, Nevada. Our material is mostly comprised of original music with some choice cover songs. We play at a couple venues in the local area and hopefully the TuneShout community can help us reach out to possible fans of our music. We are currently recording our first album and a brand new demo. Please feel free to visit our official website.
