Daves Highway

Internet singing sensation Daves Highway is the
young Mississippi-based trio comprised of
siblings Delaney, Zachary and Erika Daves.
Thanks to fans who solicited the attention of three
major influencers, Daves Highway is an
emerging act in the worlds of both country and
gospel music.
Earlier this year, the children’s parents posted
home videos of the three kids singing Little Big
Town ’s country hit “Boondocks” and the gospel
song “Jesus Messiah,” originally recorded by
Chris Tomlin, on YouTube. The children ’s genre-

bending three-part harmonies quickly captivated
thousands of fans, and soon, one of them tipped
off popular comedian Anita Renfroe. Renfroe,
who regularly appears on ABC’s “Good Morning
America,” responded with a September 9 blog
entry on her Web site featuring a Daves Highway
YouTube link and this remark: “OK – seriously …
Whoever these kids are - call me … go on tour
with me. ” Thousands of Renfroe’s fans flocked to
the link with many of them posting profuse
thanks to her for the introduction.
Even as Daves Highway sought to take the
comedian up on her tour offer, one of the trio’s
fans told Chris Tomlin, the influential writer/
performer of “Jesus Messiah,” about the children’s
cover of his song. Tomlin was floored. With an
October 12 blog entry titled, “Astonishing
Sibling Video…MUST SEE,” Tomlin thanked the fan
who gave him the link and told others on his site,
“ Here is the video I recently came across. This
made my day … year! If you know these kids,
please send them my love. And they must sing
