About me:
Call me Hud. I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer/engineer from Austin, Texas USofA. I've been playing and writing songs since my first band, Henry Hudson and the Half Moons, in 1967 (Henry is a distant relative, stole Manhattan from the Indians and was the father of commercial whaling...not things my family is very proud of). Two years later, my father brought home from Vietnam a reel-to-reel tape recorder that let me "bounce" performances from one of the stereo tracks to the other while recording a new part or instrument, just like the Beatles did with Sgt Pepper. I was hooked. I idolized Pete Rose until I first heard twelve-string guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke in 1970. I learned every lick of his I could figure out and my covers of Leo's songs were staples in my coffeehouse performances at and around Yale in the '70s. As recently as ten years ago I was known to heckle poor Leo from the front row of Austin's Paramount Theatre, requesting "Mary, Mary" from his first record, a song he said people listened to for the same reason they like to watch car wrecks. After college, I moved back to Washington, DC and with my dear friend Jeff Bowser founded the seminal pop/rock band, Tad Graphic, in 1980. The video for the band's first single, "Am I Going Insane (Or Is This The Way Love's Supposed To Be)", won one of the top honors at the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Music Video Awards as the MTV era emerged. I chose to enter the government's witness protection program and moved to Austin at the beginning of 1983. I've had the privilege of recording lots of interesting artists in my recording career, including Los Lonely Boys, Bruce Robison, David Halley, Beth Black, Stoney Larue, Alive, Joe Eddy Hines and Los Tailpipes. Having made every mistake in the book doing demos and records for folks like that over the past 20 years, I'm now spending most of my time recording my own songs. I record mostly out of 5am Studios in the heart of Austin's SoCo district. This fall I'll start to release the first fruits from those projects.
