Support comes from Al HughesAl Hughes is a Scottish singer/songwriter and when he picks up the guitar you are taken into deep blues. Hughes picks, strums and blows (harp) through this set with self-penned numbers that highlight his talents as a natural blues songwriter and some songs from blues greats that influenced him along the trails. Some of the influences may be easy to spot, but Hughes always adds an original musical and/or lyrical twist that makes each song his own.
