What an amazing, inspirational sound from these three young people who make up Dave's Highway! I hope that you enjoy listening to them as much as I do. Delaney, Zachary and Erika Daves, aged 15, 14 and 12 years old respectively, are based in Brandon, Mississippi and are an emerging act in the worlds of both country and gospel music thanks to the many fans who solicited the attention of three major influencers.
The trio have been performing together for four years. The self-taught trio’s voices combine to create a remarkable musical blend, which can only be created by what’s known in the South as “blood harmony.” Prior to becoming the internet sensation Daves Highway, the young siblings began singing in church and school and then won the 2006 Mississippi State Fair Talent Competition. Regional notoriety resulted in
invitations to perform on local television in nearby Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida and sing "The Star-Spangled Banner” at games hosted by the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies and various minor league baseball and hockey teams. The versatile trio which effortlessly jumps from one genre to another cites its primary musical influences as the Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Martins, Martina McBride and Lady Antebellum, among others, and especially enjoys performing country, classic rock and gospel. Delaney, who is 15, plays guitar, mandolin and sings alto; 14-year-old Zachary plays acoustic and electric guitar and sings tenor; and 12-year-old Erika plays piano and sings soprano.
I'm sure that we'll hear much more about this trio in the years to come!
