The Highway Sun – Modern & Classic Country Band. Founded by ex-Alvin Stardust guitarist Stu Barbour, The Highway Sun is a new high-energy country band bringing the best of modern and classic country hits to every event. With a repertoire packed full of crowd-pleasing favourites, we cover legendary artists like Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Tracy Byrd, The Eagles, Billy Ray Cyrus, Chris Stapleton, Tyler Hubbard, The Mavericks, Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton, and many more. Our mission? To keep the dance floor filled all night! Whether it’s a honky-tonk party, a wedding celebration, or a festival crowd, we bring the authentic sound of country music with tight harmonies, expert musicianship, and an electric atmosphere. Want to add a little extra fun? We can even provide a line dance instructor on request to get everyone moving! We come fully equipped with professional lighting and a Bose PA system, ensuring a clear, crisp sound that’s powerful enough for a party but still allows guests to chat comfortably. A Spotify playlist is provided before and between sets to keep the energy flowing throughout the night. With a lineup of seasoned professional musicians who have played together for years, The Highway Sun delivers a seamless performance every time. We have a lot of songs, but if there’s a special song you’d love to hear, just let us know—we’re always happy to accommodate. From barn dances to big stages, The Highway Sun brings the heart and soul of country music to every event. Boots optional, dancing guaranteed!
