Blue-Eyed Soul Legend GRAYSON HUGH with Polly Messer Live @ The Amazing Things Arts Center

Internationally acclaimed Singer/Songwriter and Blue-Eyed Soul Legend GRAYSON HUGH will be appearing in concert at The Amazing Things Arts Center on 160 Hollis Street, Framingham, Mass. 01710 on Friday February 21st, 2014. Performing with Hugh is his wife and harmony singer Polly Messer.

Known for his global radio hits (Talk It Over, Bring It All Back, Finally Found A Friend) and his songs in blockbuster films Fried Green Tomatoes and Thelma and Louise, Hugh has been wowing audiences around the world for more than two decades with his soulful singing, poetic lyrics and masterful piano playing. His music has been called "a soul/rock stew with a dash of blues and a pinch of country" (Stone Phillips, The Today Show) and his piano playing  "a veritable cyclone of soul, drawing its energy from such diverse regions as the swampland funk of Professor Longhair, the testifying soul of Ray Charles, with the rhythms of African drumming and American bluegrass thrown in the mix." - Benny Metten, Ctrl. Alt. Country

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and author Leonard Pitts Jr. had this to say of Hugh's long-awaited 2010 release An American Record: "In a world where music is often a brittle artificiality, the music he makes is hard and strong, convicted and convincing. And true. Most of all, true. It's there in the gritty lament of his voice, in the roughhouse eloquence of his piano, and the atmospheric poetry of his words. He has that thing Sam Cooke and Ray Charles had, that thing you still hear sometimes in Bruce Springsteen, that lonely, train whistle in the dark thing, that yearning, keening thing that gets right to the heart of what it means to be alive, what it means to be a human being. This is 'An American Record'. Some of us are glad the wait is over at last."
- Leonard Pitts Jr., Miami Herald, March 8, 2010
