HIGHWAY HOME is a group of hard working individuals with one common goal. That goal is to get the smooth, simple sound of traditional bluegrass music out to the people who want to hear "just" that. There is no leader or egos in the group, just a circle of friends who love to make music.

LONNIE FULTS - Guitar, Lead & Harmony Vocals

Bluegrass music was handed down to Lonnie by his family at a very young age. Lonnie is continuing the tradition of his dad & uncles, staying true to that traditional bluegrass sound. Lonnie's dedication this music was recognized in 2007 when SPBGMA awarded Lonnie it's Male Vocalist of the Year (traditional) Midwest. Whether doing a hard-driving standard or a story-telling ballad he sings it with the heart of a Bluegrass Man.

KATHY FULTS - Harmony Vocals

Kathy works at Thombert Inc. in Newton Iowa. She has no problem jumping in feet first. Although she doesn't play an instrument (yet) her high tenor vocals and distinct lead voice make up a huge part of Highway Home. Kathy was honored by the SPBGMA bluegrass fans by being nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year (traditional) Midwest. Her warm smile and sweet personality always make you feel "right at home".

MARK DRUDGE - Banjo, Vocals

Mark is a 'newspaper guy" (that ain't no part of nothin) and can remember the day he was struck by the bluegrass bug when he heard some guy named "Ralph" playing the tar out of a banjo (that' Powerful).  Since that fateful day, Mark has been playing many of the finer kitchens and living rooms across the west & Midwest and also with a western Colorado based band "Homeward Bound". When not playing music, Mark can usually be found fishing or underneath his 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser.

JOHN PURK - Mandolin, Fiddle

John is no stranger to Central Iowa bluegrass. Hi s smooth clear mandolin style makes music that is very "easy on the ears". John has been a member of numerous bluegrass bands over the years and we are proud to have him be part of Highway home. We're still trying to find a tune that John doesn't know. We'll get back to you to let you know if we had any luck.

Doug Page - Bass

Doug Page is another veteran of the central Iowa music scene. He got his start as a classical string bass player over 35 years ago, but also took up an interest in bluegrass music, playing with the likes of Wheelhoss, Grasslands, Pathfinder, and the Bluegrass Pals. Always with a smile on his face, he keeps thumping out that rock solid rhythm. When not on stage, Doug tries to keep up with his family at his home in Marion, and is very involved as the music director at his Church
