The Human Highway return to The River to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of the most influential and idiosyncratic artists of our time, part of their national spring tour that also takes them to Melbourne and regional Victoria.Fronted by long time lovers of Neil Young, David Hyams and Rose Parker, the 6-piece lineup is equally adept at capturing the essence of Young's two primary styles: from gentle folk and country, to the electric guitar driven rock of Crazy Horse Audiences have also been stunned at their renditions of pieces from the ‘Harvest’ album recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, such as “A Man needs a Maid”.
This is not just another tribute show but a rare chance to hear the great man’s music reproduced with authenticity and passion, while allowing the virtuosity of some of Australia’s finest musicians to shine. Featuring songs from the beginning of Young’s solo career in the late '60s through to the 21st century, the Human Highway dig deep into Neil’s eclectic sweep of over 1000 songs, which include material from early bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Venue testimonials:
The Human Highway (WA) dropped by to perform songs penned by Neil Young. Not only did the band sell out the gig but they absolutely nailed their 2 fabulous sets. The audience were blown away by David Hyams, Rose Parker and the band. Authentic versions of the best of Neil Young received one of the most enthusiastic demands for encore we have seen in the Juke Joint!

Staff received feedback as to the authenticity of the performance and the great respect for the essence of the music. Everyone left with a smile on their face! "
