"the rockin' est jazziest coolest folk music we'd ever heard!" -All About Town
Sarah Hughes wrote a bunch of songs and started playing them out around town by herself as a solo acoustic performer. As she got more popular, she started adding accompinament players to add a little extra flavor to her acoustic shows. As a year or so past and after racking up several awards for her solo project, Sarah solidified a full band lineup that continues to perpetuate Sarah's music to higher levels and more awards. A few of her latest awards consist of: Folk band of the year; female vocalist of the year; singer / songwriter of the year; solo performer of the year; and nominations for album of the year and artist of the year. Take the best singer /songwriter solo performer from your region, hand pick an all-star lineup of musicians from various bands around the region, and put them together. What do you get???????? THE SARH HUGHES BAND!!!!!!!!
