25.01.2022 Fabulous time playing at The Gov as part of their Saturday Sessions. Crooked Road were great hosts, they are also terrific to listen too, with their bluegrass infused harmony driven songs....a very polished act indeed. Casey and Emma (The Fairy Lights) had some stellar story songs and we welcomed The New Zeekers for their debut performance. Thanks Richard for doing sound and huge thanks to friends and family for your support.
25.01.2022 We were lucky enough to have AJ Kevern join us for a practice yesterday, playing his fabulous double bass.. AJ normally plays with Nobody's Sweethearts, terrific sounding western swing band, but will be joining us for our NYE gig......all will be revealed..literally!

17.01.2022 Adelaide’s Leonard Cohen doing a great job as MC at the Gov Sat afternoon. Crooked Road played some seriously good Bluegrass. They joined The New Zeekers on stage to add some backup harmonies later too. We had a ball! Thanks for having us there Leonard Cohen and The Gov
17.01.2022 The Old Barn Sedan. Open mic and feature bands. First Sunday of the month. Always a great day.
15.01.2022 Highly Strung had a busy but fun time being part of the Quorn Country Music Muster. A few of us arrived early and played some tunes at the Transcontinental pub on Friday night. The publican Brenton really looked after us. Rather amusing to get a request for Delta Dawn from the young lasses! Next day was playing at the railway station as passengers disembarked off the heritage Pitchi Ritchi steam train. A perfect time to pull out train songs! The highlight of our visit was p...laying to a warm and appreciative audience as part of the country music muster, raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Childhood Cancer. Des Hartman and his team of amazing helpers made us, and many other performers, feel very welcome and set up a great professional stage for performing. Thanks also to our sound man- top job. Sunday saw some walk ups back at the pub and enough time to rest and explore the wonderful historic town of Quorn, worth a visit at any time. Special thankyou to Sue and Bob for their warm hospitality and to the nice police officer that returned all my worldly belongings as I accidentally left them on the side of the road!! See more

07.01.2022 We would love to wish our wonderful Mick a huge happy 70th for tomorrow. We just love the talent and friendship he brings to our band, always enthusiastic and a great contributor to our overall sound. In true band style, we sang him Happy Birthday in 3 part harmony! May the next decade be kind to you Mick and you continue to let music be a joy in yours and our lives. xx

03.01.2022 Our next gig is at the Olive Branch ‘Club Accoustica’ on Sunday 7 July. Book a table. The evening starts around 5.30. We’re playing a bit later but there’s a great line up and yummy food/wine. All in all a very pleasant way to spend a winters evening:)
03.01.2022 HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody! Highly Strung bought in the new year playing at the fabulous Sunlands Nudist report, Robe. The resort is nestled among 370 hectares of natural bush with stunning beach access over the dunes. Let’s say we all rose to the occasion and what happens in Robe stays in Robe... or otherwise known as Disrobe. We loved playing to a fun and enthusiastic audience, scantily dressed in all manner of underwater dress ups! Plenty of testicules, I mean tentacles. Happy days
