Connected as Erin Johnson Sidney (754 friends)

Hotels & Highways, originally a nom de plume for songs a group of friends wrote together, quietly and gracefully transformed into a band this September when those friends met at a lakeside cabin in New York to fulfill a mutual, career-long dream of living together while recording an album. Although the members of this new band, Erin Sidney (aka Syd), Patrick Thomas and Lisa Piccirillo are each experienced touring and recording artists with self-released albums and a thick portfolio of singer/songwriter accolades, Hotels & Highways is just beginning its journey. Plans are underway to release their cabin-grown record, "Lost River,” and support it with a national tour in the Spring of 2011.
