(Jan. 2007)
I have spent the last 12 years of my life as one half of one of the Uk's most succesful live Hard Dance / Trance acts (Lab4 - www.lab4.com). We have played from the Uk to Japan, Australia to The US + Canada, Holland to Finland, Sweden to Ireland. To crowds of up to 15,000 in a single room and have had an amazing journey and met some good friends. For all of this I have felt truly blessed but also that , to a degree, at a certain point in my career (about 12 years ago) I sold a little of my soul to the devil ( taking a record deal to write techno instead of rock) and at the begining of 2006, I knew that the time had come for me to cut lose and to follow what is really in my heart musically, which is writing songs and working with total freedom when it comes to the tempos and sounds and arrangements that I choose. I performed my last gig with Lab4 on New Years Eve 2006/07 and will now be making The Horizontal Instrument my main project. Thanks for checking my page out and I hope you enjoy the music, I will change it regularly over the next few months so be sure to come back if you like what you hear ;-)
Thanks for the add! Kentucky's Rufus Huff debut CD now available on ZOHO Roots and Blues Boulevard Records.
Who's Rufus Huff? Named after two obscure Blues men Whistlin' Rufus and Luther Huff, the Glasgow, Kentucky-based Blues Rock quartet is made up of Dean Smith, Chris Hardesty, Jarrod England and Greg Martin, known for his raucous, incendiary electric guitar playing in the South's hardest country rockers, The Kentucky HeadHunters.
Rufus Huff, steeped in the tradition of Cream, Jeff Beck, Free, Led Zeppelin, Mountain, Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies, Cactus, and ZZ Top!!!!
