GRAYSON HUGH

Note: There is No Cover charge, but be sure and reserve a table for 8pm or after. That way, you can enjoy some award-winning barbeque while listening to the show! Due to the demand for seats at the show, we seriously recommend reserving. 8pm is the earliest Smokin With Chris can reserve a table for you. Call (860) 620-9133. We look forward to seeing you there! For the past four years, since moving back to his home state of Connecticut, internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Grayson Hugh, along with his wife singer Polly Messer, has been doing special intimate concerts every two months or so at Smokin With Chris, Connecticut's Best BBQ and Live Music Venue. It's become a tradition. Here's a unique chance to hear the legendary blue-eyed soul man himself, with Polly Messer, in an up-close and personal acoustic setting at Grayson & Polly's favorite Ct. BBQ restaurant and live music venue. Grayson's songs have been called "a soul/rock stew with a dash of blues and a pinch of country" (Stone Phillips, The Today Show) and his voice has been compared to soul legends 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." - Benny Metten, Ctrl. Alt. Country
