GRAYSON HUGH

Internationally acclaimed Singer/Songwriter/Pianist Grayson Hugh and Singer Polly Messer will be doing a House Concert upstairs at Forza Five Holistic Healing Center in Cannondale Village, 26 Cannon Road, Wilton, Connecticut on Saturday January 31, 2015. The performance begins at 7:30 pm. Refreshments will be served downstairs at 7 pm (herbal teas from the Forza Five Center and stuffed breads from Uncle Leo’s Deli in nearby Redding, Ct).  Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online in advance by clicking here: http://www.forzafive.com/home/?p=594. Tickets can also be purchased in person at Forza 5 Holistic Fitness and Healing Center. Call 203-247-4175 for details. 
In this intimate concert, Hugh will talk about the healing power of music and how it helped him on his own journey of a near-fatal relapse with alcohol in 2000 and in his recovery, which began in 2004. With songs and stories, he will describe his adventures at top of the music world, his fall and his return to the world stage, of finding true love at age 57, and of drawing inspiration from nature.  Besides newer songs, Hugh will also perform his hits from radio (Talk It Over, Bring It All Back, Soul Cat Girl) and films (Thelma and Louise, Fried Green Tomatoes).  This past December Grayson and Polly walked into Lisa Tenore’s Forza Five Holistic Healing Center, had a reading and immediately felt a kindred spirit. As they continued their visits, the idea of this collaboration was born. Proceeds from the concert will go to the funding of Grayson Hugh’s next album Back To The Soul, which is set to be recorded in Charleston, South Carolina this coming February.Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see these world-class musicians in the cozy, peaceful setting of Cannondale Village! In the words of one writer: “Grayson Hugh has been there and is back again. His story – our story – has to be heard.” (Robert Doerschuk, CMAWorld.com, May 10, 2010)
