Written with a lens shaped by both artists’ small-town Montana roots and their creative lives in Los Angeles, Joselyn & Don’s third album, “Lost & Found Highway” moves through themes of rediscovery, change and loss. Produced by Graham Richman (Lizzie No) and mixed by GRAMMY-nominated Kevin Smith (Ben Harper) the songs are anchored by longtime Jackson Browne band members Mauricio “Fritz” Lewak (drums), Bob Glaub (bass) and Greg Leisz (pedal steel) as well as Tom Freund on upright bass. Featured guests include Cristina Vane, Chris Pierce and Abby Posner.

Singles from the album include “Choose Love,” a timely anthem for unity featuring Chris Pierce, that gained national attention with features on NPR’s The Midnight Special and The Great American Folk Show. “Workin’ the Hi-Line” offers a powerful tribute to Don’s father, who emigrated from the Philippines and built a life in Northern Montana. “Girl From the Mountain” delivers an upbeat alt-country groove that celebrates the complicated gravity of home. “Right on Through (feat. Cristina Vane)” premiered on the SoCal Sound (KCSN) radio and has been featured on Americana radio shows across the U.S. and Europe. The album has charted on Folk Radio and spent over four weeks on Americana Radio’s Top 100, drawing praise from Americana UK, Twangville, and Americana Highways, with critics hailing their work as “rich, lyrical, and wild.”

Following their critically acclaimed debut album “Soar” (2020) and EP “Seeds & Bones” (2022), “Lost & Found Highway” deepens the duo’s signature blend of introspective songwriting, intricate finger picked guitar, and Joselyn’s one-of-a-kind voice. Recent years have seen Joselyn & Don gaining traction on the Americana and folk circuits, with performances at acclaimed venues like ASU Kerr Cultural Center, Grand Annex and Hotel Café and live appearances on Montana Public Radio and Wildwood Flower Radio Hour (KXLU).
