[@elcroggo3480]

Saw the guys on the street in Edinburgh, and was instantly drawn to them, just infectious energy, incredible music and you can just tell they love what they do. Fantastic band ❤️

[@highfademusic]

Thanks mate!!!

[@Fur_Queue]

High fade are something else!!! Funkiest trio I've ever seen, and I'm an old git

[@highfademusic]

Thanks bro! ❤

[@splashesin8]

😊🙌🏻

[@lukecockroft6787]

I saw High Fade live in Springfield Missouri. Having followed them for years before I saw them it was so very special to experience my favorite band for so cheap. These guys deserve all the Grammys and love! Thank you guys for your music. I listen every day. Sincerely Your biggest fan from Missouri… Luke

[@lukecockroft6787]

Easily the best trio band in the world right now!

[@highfademusic]

Thanks brother!! 🤘🏻💜

[@Jay_Queue]

Saw High Fade in Urbana Illinois a couple months back and it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! You can’t help but dance to every song. Glad to see these guys getting the recognition they’ve earned!

[@highfademusic]

Thanks Jay! 💜

[@pedram4144]

High fade is THE most underrated band I have seen. Such great musicians. 👏🙌

[@callumoreilly3684]

Absolutely stoked beyond belief i get to see Harry and the guys in an incredibly intimate setting at Elysium in Swansea. Its an art gallery and bar. Super small and amazing. Gonna be unforgettable

[@highfademusic]

Can’t wait for that show!! Spread the word 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@lloyds657]

Awesome! I met Harry at a gig in Edinburgh, what a sound lad and incredibly talented 🤙🏼

[@paul123kenneth]

Watch these guys busk in Edinburgh. Absolutely awesome 👌

[@highfademusic]

❤❤

[@JohnBruceGuitars1]

Harry and band are something else great interview Marty

[@jakej8235]

Literally bought a $12 ticket to see them and I would've paid so much more. The energy in the room was explosive. Everything they played was immaculate. Harry is a wizard on the guitar and proves that to me everytime I see him play. The band is a tight MACHINE, feeding off of each ones energy. I hope to see them again and I really hope to see them playing arenas. much love for the fade

[@callumoreilly3684]

I payed £16.95 for my High Fade ticket. And £25 for a High Fade T-shirt. They should be the same price and they will have earned every penny by the end of the gig i promise you that! Incredible live trio.

[@highfademusic]

Thankyou so much Jake! 💜💜

[@callumoreilly3684]

19:31 hearing gossip solo guitar and such a jam vibe. Watch how proud Harry looks of his riff. Its what makes music what it is. Personal and at the same time for everyone.

[@highfademusic]

Thanks bro! 💜💜💜

[@PaulBlagbrough]

Cool t shirts as well and 20% to charity. Sweet!

[@highfademusic]

We try! 🤘🏻💜

[@Boilermakerman11]

I’m stoked to see High Fade get this well-deserved attention. First time I came across them was totally blown away by how tight they play together and I love their groove! I really think these guys will become stars and awesome job by Marty introducing his audience to them.

I doubt if they'd remember me, but I was in Scotland for my 21st and I met high fade. I knew then they were something special. I still think of that night at stramash.

[@carltone]

Marty thanks for posting the interview sharing your knowledge along with all your music posts. . I have been following High Fade for a while now. I would absolutely love to hear these guys in a small club. But not likely going to happen anytime soon in Canada. They are hopefully destined for bigger venues and the success they deserve.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks for listening

They are minor 7 but in triads! A shell voicing :)
