Led by Fremantle’s David Hyams, who audiences have testified bears an uncanny vocal resemblance to the great man himself, the 6-piece line up also features Rose Parker on vocals and guitar, bassist Josh Dyson, drummer Russell Wilson, fiddler Adam Gare, and Jeremy Threlfall on pedal steel and guitar.  Covering music from the beginning of Young’s solo career right through to the 21st century, the band is equally adept at capturing the essence of Young's two primary styles: from the gentle folk and country-rock of albums like “Comes A Time", to the electric guitar driven rock of the Crazy Horse days. Reviewers have commented on the authenticity of their performance and how they can “dig deep” - playing not only expected hits, but many lesser known Neil Young numbers. * * * “The Human Highway are awesome. We ran an evening with them at The Quarry Amphitheatre…and it was a sell-out success, with the crowd loving the performance and shouting for several encores…We had only positive feedback from the crowd”  Mark Taylor, Wasup Promotions (Quarry Amphitheatre) “The talent and authenticity of the group was outstanding, and we received many comments of congratulations and praise for the night’s entertainment." Drew Dymond, Manager Albany Entertainment Centre " Some of the audience were heard commenting that if they had closed their eyes, they would have believed they were listening to the great man himself! Everyone left with a smile on their face! " Darwin Entertainment Centre

Fanny’s recent shows in Europe included a triumphant 23-date headline tour, a sold-out Country Halls tour in Scotland, no less than 7 festivals plus a support slot with fellow Australian singer songwriter Paul Kelly. Her performances garnered praise with local press with the UK’s Entertainment Focus choosing her as one of its Top Ten highlights following her opening set on the main stage at the prestigious The Long Road Festival in Leicestershire, quoting “It’s obvious she loves the UK audience... and that feeling seemed very much mutual, so I hope it won’t be too long until she’s back.” Country In The UK, in its Ones To Watch feature, stated: “the most uplifting set that you will see all weekend which is guaranteed to put the biggest smile on your face.” She was also chosen for the BBC’s live coverage from Belladrum Festival in Scotland. At the conclusion of her extensive European touring schedule, Fanny then immediately jumped onto a plane to head home to Australia for her opening slot on Paul Kelly’s Antipodean Arena Tour with Lucinda Williams - with her reputation as “the hardest working woman in showbiz” firmly intact! Fanny firmly operates in her own lane and every turn “confirms Fanny as a distinctive storyteller, and an indelible personality who can win over fans in or outside of country music” (Doug Wallan, The Australian) “There are certain visionary artists forging new paths and reinventing what popular music looks and sounds like. Fanny Lumsden is one such artist, delivering a compelling blend of stagecraft, storytelling, and musical prowess that has mesmerised audiences all over the world” ★ ★ ★ ★★ Joshua Eckersley, BMA Magazine 2023
