In January, 2005, David and Sherree Hughes decided to help a couple of musician friends get some gigs. Little did we know what we were about to get into. What started out as a small operation has slowly evolved into the Unknown Legends Artists music talent agency. From two acts, we have grown ULA into a recognizable agency with over a dozen regular artists and another dozen or so on top of that who we try to assist.
How did it all start? Besides having friends who needed some help, we both have a passion for live music. Whether its here at home or in another city, we are always looking for a taste of the local musical flavors. Hot Springs had too many talented musicians who were not being heard. We decided to try to help get their music out to the public. The rest is all too quickly becoming history.
Unknown Legends Artists represents talent from all across Arkansas and from several surrounding states. Our stable of talent is full of some of the best musicians and entertainers in the country.
Unknown Legends Artists provides talent for night clubs, music festivals, restaurants, private parties, corporate events, weddings and just about anything else where entertainment is needed. The talent ranges from blues to country to classic rock and everything in between. Regardless of what type of event it is, Unknown Legends Artists has the talent to make it happen.
National and Regional touring acts currently on the Unknown Legends Artists roster are:
Wes Jeans
Underground Blues Division
The Juvenators
Unseen Eye
John Calvin Brewer
Larry Womack
Stella Vees
Touch of Gold
Phil Brown
LZ Love
We also founded the Unknown Legends Musician’s Relief Fund, a non-profit fund designed to assist Arkansas musicians and their families with costs associated with illness or other medical related needs. The fund is in its infancy but we are expecting it grow by leaps and bounds.
So, if you’re looking for outstanding talent, award winning artists, a good cause or just a good time, let Unknown Legends Artists be your guide.
