GRAYSON HUGH Live @ The Cutting Room, NYC Saturday, May 11, 2013Internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter and pianist Grayson Hugh will be appearing at The Cutting Room on 44 East 32nd Street, in NYC on Saturday May 11, 2013.Showtime is 8pm. Tickets are $20.Performing with Hugh is his wife and harmony singer Polly Messer, a former member of the swing band Eight To The Bar and the New York-based rockabilly band Eugene Chrysler. Known for his global mega-hits ("Talk It Over", "Bring It All Back", "How Bout Us") and his songs in blockbuster movies "Thelma & Louise" and"Fried Green Tomatoes", Hugh has been wowing audiences and gathering loyal fans around the world since he burst on the scene in 1988 with his debut RCA record "Blind To Reason". After earning Gold records overseas and in the U.S. with "Blind To Reason" and touring worldwide for several years, Hugh released "Road To Freedom" on MCA Records in 1992. It was called one of the year's top ten albums by Billboard Magazine and praised by critics for its arresting lyrics and raw, country-soul sound. Hugh's songs have been called "poetry set to music" and his voice has been compared to soul icons Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. His piano playing has been called "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."In 2010 the reclusive Hugh released his long-awaited comeback album "An American Record". It is a genre-defying collection of stories about wandering, loss and ultimately redemption. Don't miss this chance to see this legendary singer/songwriter in an intimate acoustic concert setting. In the words of one writer:"Grayson Hugh has been there and back again. His story - our story - has to be heard".For tickets and further info call (212) 691-1900 or visit: http://tickets.thecuttingroomnyc.com/event/230565-grayson-hugh-new-york/ Laughing & Lost In Las Vegas (Live @ The Cutting Room 1/19/13):http://youtu.be/-w8kkvLl1QY
