As momentum continues to build for the 21-year strong powerhouse band, Blue Highway broke into 2015 with Sold Out shows accounting for half their shows to date.  Their most recent album The Game topped the national Bluegrass Unlimited Album Chart at #1 for 7 consecutive months (June-December 2014).  The Game was also named the #1 Bluegrass Album of the Year by critic Daniel Mullins in his end of the year Top 20 Albums of 2014 list in Bluegrass Today.
