About

Al Hughes is a 27 year old rising new talent from Birmingham. Currently touring around the country promoting his debut EP release "Shapes & Storylines" (available on Incubator Records), Al is not your standard singer-songwriter. Tinges of soul, rock, blues, jazz and latin music are all evident, and his strong, soulful voice truly impresses within his maturely written songs. Citing such influences as Prince, Tom Waits, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon to name but a few, all these artists are hinted at in Al's music. He's not bad on the guitar either. Cross Hendrix with Joni with a pinch of Ben Harper and you're pretty much there.

With his first album released later this year, combining all these musical styles and more, his live performances are a mix of solo acoustic shows and his awesome 3 piece band. Guitar, voice, double bass and drums provide the perfect showcase for his songs, and is best described by Al as "the stripped-down-soul-sound".

Whilst constantly working on new material, Al is actively seeking management and record label interest.
