Highway 125 is a 5-piece blues/rock band out of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Formed in the summer of 2009, the band currently consists of Curtis Matheson on guitar/lead vocals/harmonica, Allan Currie on guitar/vocals, Tristan Baxter on bass guitar/vocals, Lonnie L. Jones on drums, and more recently Matthew Nicholson on saxophone/vocals. Curtis Matheson and Allan Currie are the only remaining members from it’s original incarnation, and no member was any older than 15 years of age when the band first began playing together.
In 2012, the band quickly became popular around the Cape Breton music scene, performing in just about any place that was considered anywhere. By mid-2013, Mainland Nova Scotia had taken notice and began booking them to perform. With this, came their debut album “Payin’ Dues”, which eventually went on to be included on the Blind Lemon Blues “Top 20 Canadian Blues Albums of the Year”, listed as #3. Their 2014 EP “Off The Floor” also received an Honorary Mention by the Newfoundland radio show in 2015.
Today, Highway 125 are ready to make their comeback with their 3rd consecutive spring/summer tour of the Maritimes, this time stronger than ever before. This high-energy, real deal, rockin’ blues blast is ready to come to a town near you. Long live Canadian Blues! Don't miss one of Atlantic Canada's top blues acts!
