Acclaimed guitarist and songwriter playing a fiery brand of blues-rock whose power trio lineage stretches back to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cream and Jimi Hendrix.

PERFORMER BIO:
An old soul hailing from Macon Georgia USA, Hughes Taylor was immediately drawn to the blues when he first picked up the guitar. Two decades later, he’s become an acclaimed guitarist and songwriter playing a fiery brand of blues-rock whose power trio lineage stretches back to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cream and Jimi Hendrix. His 5th studio album Dark Roast, set to release May of 2024, is filled with greasy guitar riffs, thundering drums, solid basslines, and Taylor’s expressive voice on top, blending his bluesy roots with the musical sensibility of his southern-rock predecessors.

Starting on the guitar at age 13, Hughes was performing professionally before he could legally drive, and by the time he started college, creating and performing music was his primary source of income.

He self-released his first full-length album of original songs, Hear My Melody, in the spring of 2016.

Restless followed in early 2018, sandwiched between graduating with honors in marketing from University of North Georgia and marrying the love of his life.

In the summer of 2019, The Hughes Taylor Band’s album Good Blues, Fast, featuring classics lovingly arranged and interpreted by Taylor, was his first release to gain acclaim beyond Georgia and paved the way for the next chapter in his music journey.

In January of 2020, Hughes and his band toured the United Kingdom supporting the Heather Findlay Band. gaining immediate popularity and positive music press reviews. The tour was recorded and released as the Live in the UK album in early 2021.

His 2021 release, Modern Nostalgia, was written during the pandemic and recorded at the legendary Capricorn Sound Studios. A sweet mix of blues, blues-rock, and southern rock, Modern Nostalgia was on the US Blues-Rock Top 50 Album Chart every week for 10 months. A limited-edition double vinyl edition was released in June, 2022.
