Highway 13: Roots, Harmony, and Heart
Highway 13: Roots, Harmony, and Heart
Based in Oakland, CA, Highway 13 is a cover band that weaves gorgeous harmonies, rich acoustic textures, and heartfelt musicianship into every performance. Our sound draws from Americana, folk, bluegrass, and a bit of country, with songs from artists like Alison Krauss, Brandi Carlile, Neil Young, Old Crow Medicine Show, Kacey Musgraves,
and more.
From sweet ballads to joyful foot-stompers, our ever-growing setlist blends timeless favorites and fresh discoveries — perfect for intimate gatherings, lively festivals, and anything in between.
Our story began in 2009 along Oakland’s Highway 13, where a few friends with guitars and a love of good tunes started jamming in living rooms and basements. Before long, we were playing our first gigs at Monaghan’s on the Hill (just a stone’s throw from the highway), the historic Claremont Hotel, and local pubs, schools, and community events.
We’re proud of our Oakland roots — but we’re always happy to travel wherever good music is needed.

Song List
Song List
Highway 13 covers a huge range of music from the 1960s through the present. We are fortunate to have female and male lead singers, with angelic back-up vocalists who bring the harmonies to life. This lets us jump in with both feet on almost any type of tune and tailor sets to each event.
Our collection comprises rock, pop, soul, funk, disco, and acoustic ballads by singer-songwriters. Don’t be surprised to hear Taylor Swift, A Taste of Honey, and Dusty Springfield in the same evening—somehow it all works! We’re always adding new material to keep things fresh.
