Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the night with Reggae and Ska under the stars! Join us for a mesmerizing musical journey crafted by none other than Al Laughlin, the visionary behind the iconic sounds of The Samples.

Al Laughlin, an original member of The Samples, brings his expertise and passion to the forefront with Al’s Hwy 50, an electrifying ensemble that seamlessly blends Reggae, Jazz, and Ska into a bubbling concoction of euphoric melodies. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant Colorado music scene and his own experiences, Laughlin and his bandmates deliver a performance that will have you swaying to the beat and dancing the night away.

Highway 50’s dynamic fusion of Reggae, Ska, Rock, and Jazz creates an atmosphere that is as infectious as it is exhilarating. With melodic vocals and introspective lyrics, their live shows are renowned for their energy and danceability, promising an evening of pure musical bliss.

“Being one of the most prominent musicians to come out of Colorado, Laughlin brings an eclectic mix to the table, sharing his years of musical experience to bring a fresh and impressive new sound to Highway 50.”- Music Existence
