Bursting on the music scene with his 1988 RCA release “Blind To Reason,” Grayson Hugh has been wowing audiences around the world ever since with his soulful singing, virtuoso piano playing and poetic lyrics. His songs have been called “a soul-rock stew, with a dash of blues and a pinch of country” (Stone Phillips, The Today Show) and his voice has been compared to soul legends Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. His piano playing has been called “a veritable cyclone of soul, drawing its energy from such diverse regions as the swampland funk of Professor Longhair, the testifying soul of Ray Charles, with the rhythms of African drumming and bluegrass thrown in the mix.” (Benny Metten, Ctrl. Alt. Country, August, 2010)
Performing with Grayson is his wife and harmony singer Polly Messer, a former member of the Western swing band Eight To The Bar and the New York-based rockabilly band Eugene Chrysler.
After three decades of hits in radio and in Oscar-winning films (Thelma & Louise”, “Fried Green Tomatoes”) Grayson Hugh has a new record called “Save Your Love For Me.” It’s a collection of 13 new songs by Grayson, written in a roots country style, as well as his arrangement of the Hank Williams classic “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”. Besides Grayson and Polly, this album features some of the top names in roots music: 5 time Grammy winner Cindy Cashdollar on dobro and lap steel guitar, acoustic bassist Tony Garnier (long time member of Bob Dylan’s band), Pete Kennedy on guitar, mandolin and banjo (The Kennedys, Nanci Griffith, Emmylou Harris), and Gary Oleyar on fiddle and guitar, who has toured and recorded Jim Messina, with Marty Stuart, Alan Jackson, Patrica Yearwood) and drummer Tyger MacNeal has played with Grayson, blues legend Johnny Winter, Jose Feliciano and The Average White Band.
