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 ShowPulitzer Prize winning Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. wrote, of Hugh's newest release "Back To The Soul": "This is music of and for people who know what it is to be scarred and scared, who have been knocked down hard a time or two and had to find their way back to their feet. It is music of and for people who can appreciate a hot horn section or funky bass groove, who know how to slide on the grease that oozes when the organ hits a lick just right, who are suckers for a rough-sweet voice singing the truth.Finally, this is music of and for those who have a little life behind them – and a whole lot more ahead. It is both realization and reminder that, for all the changes life takes you through, if you hang with it and fight through it, it will eventually, inevitably, round the corner and bring you back. Back to self. Back to joy. Back to love. Back to, well…you know."- Leonard Pitts, Jr., Miami Herald
