Stand Up

Unpaved Highway’s “Rock ‘n’ Road” music crafts a musical landscape where an acoustic sound is

entwined with deeply emotional, poetic rock music. Their music draws on artists stretching from John

Mellencamp to Nirvana, and modern bands from Cage the Elephant to Mumford and Sons. 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 Ph.D. 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. By performing the songs live Unpaved Highway

have refined the best of the older and new songs with a common road-worn theme to record in a 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 an EP in 2017 and a tour in support of the release. Music
