The Hwy 289 Band is a multi-talented one woman three man group that was formed as 
a result of the very popular “Music in the Mountains Show” in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. The group came together as a result of the aforementioned show, which was formed seven years ago by Melodie Clemmons. The monthly show is performed the third Saturday of every month in the historic Horseshoe Bend Theatre in the heart of beautiful Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas, a town that is considered the doorstep to the Ozarks.
The 289 Band was named for the Hwy leading in to Horseshoe Bend, and they enjoy their off-time riding their motorcycles with their spouses thru the beautiful Ozark foothills and beyond. The Band is a close knit unit of four very talented musicians, performing each month on the show as well as various engagements and special events across Northeast Arkansas, Missouri and even Texas.
