After two years of college Dave Cook was feeling uninspired. He dropped the books and headed home to Fairfax, Virginia to form My Favorite Highway with his cousin, Will Cook, in January 2005. The band spent six months writing their first songs and went into the studio to record a three song EP with producer Paul Barber in the Summer of 2005. "We wrote a few songs and it just so happened that everyone seemed to love them. We didn't know what to expect, it was like a fortunate accident," Dave says. With their unique, polished sound and their "boys next-door" image, My Favorite Highway quickly captured the heart of their local scene with designs to do the same throughout the rest of the country.

The band stepped back into studio in the Summer of 2006 to cut five new tracks with Barber. They released the five track EP, "Anywhere But Here", in November 2006. The new EP was received extremely well, selling 3,000+ CDs, and 41,000+ digital singles in 2007. After a few line-up changes the band rounded out to a four-piece. The quartet - Cook, his cousin and bassist Will Cook, drummer Bobby Morgenthaler and guitarist Pat Jenkins - hit the road in May 2007 for their first East Coast tour. The band spent the Fall of 2007 writing for their full-length debut; and now, with a handful of great songs, they are eager to record their new record, hit the road and see what lies ahead.
