Hotels & Highways is a three piece band that formed only a year ago in September 2010. The band members are: Patrick Thomas, Erin "Syd" Sidney, and Lisa Piccirillo. All the members also have their own solo projects, all of which are successful. Their album "Lost River" was released in March 2011. The album has been described as: "gleeful blend of country, pop, and rock and roll…that sounds more like the product of a group that had been together for years rather than a mere week and a half," (Dan Bolles, Seven Days VT).
