From the heart of the continent, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, High Road blends reggae, roots, and rock & roll into an uplifting, high-energy sound. Fronted by vocalist and songwriter, Leane Koss, together with her husband, Keith Dyck, on guitar, the band includes Leane’s daughter, Rhea Thiessen, on ukulele and background vocals, and Martin (Marty Dredz) Valach, on drums. They are currently seeking a full-time bass player.

Formed in 2018, High Road creates music that is both soulful and celebratory, delivering a message of hope and unity wrapped in rhythms that invite audiences to move, reflect, and rejoice.  Known for vibrant live performances full of warmth and joy, the band brings a sound that is energetic and deeply heartfelt.  Fans of Heart, Michael Franti, and Bob Marley will feel right at home. 

 “Leane’s voice has been likened to if Heart and Carly Simon had a love child.”

“She goes from sounding like a solid whiskey drinker who smokes two packs a day to sounding like an angel in the next song.”

Their newly released debut album, About The Heart, features 13 songs written over a 10-year period, expressing themes of love, connection, freedom, and spiritual awareness.  Recorded in 432 Hz, the frequency of the heart, this album transcends genres and generations and is sure to be a breath of fresh air in a world saturated by AI and sorely lacking in fresh, new rock & roll, positive lyrics and high vibrations.

Let’s travel the High Road together, shall we?
