Highbench-Awesome Band-Utah natives!

Highbench is the name of Utah native Dave Western's band. I had the privilege of meeting Dave and his gorgeous wife Shelley because I photographed their wedding a few years ago.
They have since become good friends and I have been watching Highbench waiting with baited breath for them to become the next Band of Horses or Death Cab.
With amazing vocals and depth that only comes from a talented bunch Highbench is one band you will definitely see much more of in the future.

Take a listen at their website and you will see what I mean!
