Grayson Hugh

Grayson Hugh is an internationally-acclaimed singer/ songwriter. His debut release "Blind To Reason" (RCA 1988) earned two gold records, in the U.S. and overseas, and garnered several international radio hits. His second record "Road To Freedom" was called one of 1992's top-ten albums by Billboard Magazine. Two of his songs from that record were featured in Ridley Scott's hit film "Thelma & Louise" in 1991. In the same year Hugh was asked to arrange & record a version of Bob Dylan's "I'll Remember You" for the end-title song to the film "Fried Green Tomatoes". In 2010 Grayson released his eagerly-anticipated "An American Record”, co-produced by his wife and harmony singer Polly Messer. His 2015 record “Back To The Soul” was on the Official Ballot for a 2015 Grammy in the Best Americana Album category. He is currently working on a new record called “Save Your Love For Me”, featuring his songs in a more country style. For this album Hugh recruited Pete Kennedy on guitar, mandolin and banjo, Bob Dylan’s bass player-musical director Tony Garnier, Texas Music Hall of Famer Cindy Cashdollar on dobro and lap steel guitar and long time Jim Messina band member Gary Oleyar on fiddle and rockabilly guitar. He is also contributing songs and an original score for the upcoming Hungarian film “Captain Flame”, written and directed by Balázs Hatvani. Grayson and Polly traveled to Budapest in June of 2019 where, with Balázs and his crew from Cinelabyrinth, they filmed two music videos for Grayson’s contributed songs.
