About Us

The Highway 5 gospel group was the idea of Jolene Drane. In July of 2007 Jolene shared with a few of her friends that she felt was being called to sing. Her calling fell upon willing souls and a ministry was born.

We began practicing right away. We weren't exactly sure what direction we should go until one evening while playing with the Breckinridge County Dulcimer Club we were overheard discussing our singing. A member of the club asked us to sing at their upcoming revival. We then knew we were doing what our Lord had called us to do.

Our sound has been described as an "old timey"/country mix that blends well and is easy to sing along with. We perform such favorites as Angel Band, Hold to God's Unchanging Hand, The Old Country Church, and Church in the Wildwood as well as a few original songs.
