Unpaved Highway

Unpaved Highway’s “Rock ‘n’ Road” style of Folk Grunge music creates a musical landscape where an acoustic sound is entwined with deeply emotional, poetic and heavy Grunge music. Their music draws on artists stretching from John Mellencamp to Nirvana and the modern artists they have influenced. Unpaved Highway writes songs that are inspired by their connections with fans and infused with their own personal experience. Fans are encouraged to share their experiences, achievements and hardships, and have songs written for them that move the listeners and remind them of how they have felt in those moments. Reactions at live performances show that fans connect best with songs that are written for specific people because they know the music comes from a genuine human experience and interaction.

Founded in late 2012 by Eric Nedelman, after earning his (link hidden) in music theory, Unpaved Highway began as a series of solo acoustic shows with special guest appearances. Fan interest cemented as more new songs were written and performed at each show. By October 2014 a three-piece band was formed with Brent Livingston on bass and Joe Bradetich on drums. Eric has a large back catalog, several albums worth of original songs from various bands he has formed over the years, which have not been professionally produced. By performing the songs live Unpaved Highway have refined the best of the old and new songs with a common road-worn theme to record in a full-length album.

Through a network of friends, Eric met Jorge Velázquez, who is recording and playing drums on Unpaved Highway’s self-produced first full-length album. In May 2015, they released their first single, Hung in Custody, a fan favorite at shows for its high energy story from the unpaved highway about being loved for who you are and staying true to yourself.

Unpaved Highway is planning the release of their first album in 2016 and a summer tour in support of the release.
