Highway 59 - Hard Driving Classic Rock Band
 

Highway 59 is a 5-piece rock and classic rock cover band, playing a wide range of song favourites from both yesterday and today - but mostly yesterday. Based out of Winnipeg MB, we deliver a collection of classics that keep audiences dancing and longing from the nostalgia of music from better days while avoiding the tunes that have been beaten to death for the past two decades.

If you are looking for a band to play your bar, fundraiser or charity event, private party, or corporate event in Winnipeg... or anywhere... contact us.

KING'S HEAD PUB - SATURDAY, JUNE 1st

News & Reviews

Friday, May 10th at the King's Head was hot and sweaty! Lots of people to test out our two new tunes on - including friend of the band, Wendy and her crew out to celebrate her birthday. Kyle made his onstage debut playing leads with his Uncle Darryl. A great time had by all!

April 13 13. It was Kari's special birthday party and a heck of a night to party! Thank you to all of our friends and family that came out to hang out with us once again. Some we haven't seen in ages, some are just too loyal for words, and some of you just became friends that night. Love it! Catch you back at the King's Head on Friday, May 10th.

March 15th at the King's Head was full of great sing-a-longs and fancy dancin'! Thanks to Dave Hill for playing bass for us. Another great one!

We had the pleasure of playing at the Dreams Take Flight social at Canad Inns Polo Park on Saturday, March 9th. Joining the usual member of the band for the evening's live music portion was Jeff McMaster on piano. Thank you to all of our friends that came out to support this wonderful cause. Congratulations to the event's organizers for a job well done. Good luck with the flight in April!

So this guy borrowed Yvonne's tambourine and put it back on stage on top of a wine glass. The glass shattered and cut his hands! Nasty. Then another guy took Yvonne's other tambourine, played it on his hip and busted it into pieces. Another epic night at the King's Head Pub last Saturday, February 9th. What a show! What a crowd! Let's do it again. How about on March 15th?

Highway 59 had the pleasure of playing a corporate event at the Hotel Fort Garry on Saturday - January 19, 2013. Thank you to Keith Lalman for doing the sound for us. Perfect as usual. The band added a couple of new tunes to the mix - Angel of the Morning and another lead vocal tune for Gary, Sharp Dressed Man. We'll try them out again at the King's Head on February 9th, so come on out and give them a listen!

Thank you to everyone that came out to the King's Head Pub on Saturday, December 15th. There were some very interesting characters - the Nordic boys from Halifax, the couple from Lisbon, North Dakota, the speaker dancer. Never a dull moment! The band enjoyed getting into the spirit of the season with a rockin' rendition of Run Run Rudolph, made more fun with Darryl's very realistic Santa hat and beard! Cheers to everyone at the King's Head for letting us play longer than - well, overtime once again. Happy Holidays from Highway 59! Cheers to a fabulous new year!

It was time for a Friday night show at the King's Head - November 23rd to be exact. Drummer Dave brought out his alter ego, Coach Dave, while hosting both of his sons' hockey teams at the Puck 'n Eat Your Dinner fundraising event. Thanks to Dave Hill for playing the bass guitar and to his wife, Karen, and her declaration that she could have danced all night!

Saturday, October 20th at the King's Head Pub was incredibly fantastic. Thank you to all that came out to rock with us! The crowd was flying and the energy was pulsating! Never have there been so many people dancing on top of chairs and tables. Happy birthday greetings to Lisa Carriere who came out to celebrate with her friends and show off her tambourine skills. The band debuted its new tune, She Sells Sanctuary, which we pleasantly pulled off. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again on Friday, November 23rd.

Played at the Hitch 'n Post in Grosse Isle, MB on Saturday, October 13th. We had the privilege of showcasing the talents of Jeff McMaster on keyboards during the country themed event (yes - we learned some new country tunes!). Extra thanks out to Kevin Tillberg and Keith Lalman for making us look and sound so great. ROCK on!

Nights on Broadway! Happy 50th birthday to Karl! H59 was honoured to play at this special birthday celebration held on Saturday, September 29th. The Club Room at the Hotel Fort Garry was the scene. George MacKenzie opened the night with his beautiful piano stylings. Friends and family were surprised at Karl's fine rendition of "Man on the Moon"! Well done, Karl! The band played, by special request from the birthday boy's wife, U2's "One". Thanks again to Trent Simpson and Dave Hill for helping us out filling in on drums and bass.

Epic. That is how David Christianson described our night at the King's Head Pub on Friday, September 21st. The dance floor never stopped bouncing from the first tune on. Great to see both new and familiar faces in the crowd. Thank you to Andres Sinnaeve and that great singer from Cape Breton Island that took to the microphones and hit it for "Born to be Wild". Epic.
