The Highway Beautiful is the nom de plume of Buffalo singer songwriter Jason Jurewicz. Following the trend of Dashboard Confessional and Chris Carrabba and Bright Eyes with Conor Oberst, bands that are actually a front for solo artists, Jurewicz under the name The Highway Beautiful has released a debut CD titled The Things That Lights Can Hide. He handles most of the instruments here and recorded the disc at his home studio. The acoustic based pop rock has a pleasing polished sound while lyrically the songs deal with love, emotions and dreams found and failed. Outstanding tracks here include “A Grown Up Child’s Song”, “On Your Own”, “So Beautiful” and “Camelot”. The instrumental “Landscape”, with its ambient noise and electronic flourishes breaks things up a little bit here. For more on The Highway Beautiful check out www.thehighwaybeautiful.com
