Special Musical Guests - Highway 22

hwy22music.com

From humble beginnings in the small southern town of McKenzie, TN, Highway 22 has become a powerhouse trio that has touched many people through their message and song.

Formed in the summer of 2012, members Jeremy Smith, Bethany Ellis, and Blake Stanfill quickly established their tremendous vocal talent at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY. It was not long after the convention, in January of 2013, when Highway 22 released their first Southern Gospel Radio single, “Right on Time.”

Only four months later in May, the trio released their first album, “On Our Way.” The track list featured Wayne Haun, Joseph Habedank, Regina Walden, and a production credit for Matthew Holt, a Gaither Pianist Extraordinaire.

At the time of the group’s inception, the three members knew that their mission was first: sharing the blessing, saving the lost, and honoring the Lord. From the first practice together, Highway 22 knew they were given a blessing from God, and the good news had to be spread throughout the region.

Bethany, Jeremy, and Blake have a talent to share, a song to sing, and a mission to uphold. The single, “On My Way to a Miracle,” has reached number 72 on the Singing News Charts, and if it is any indication of the time to come, the sky is the limit for these young artists. Whether you’re in search of healing, blessing, or even salvation, Highway 22 is guaranteed to delight and bless. Without a doubt, these three are on their way, and ask that you join them in glorifying the Savior.
