Annie Hughes

I'm a singer / songwriter with roots in country, folk, rock, and pop music. I was born and raised in Tempe, Arizona as were my folks. All my grandparents moved to Arizona from various parts of the south: Vienna, Illinois; Madisonville, Tennessee; and, Lake Village, Arkansas. I grew up listening to Irish folk music, cowboy music, musical theater, and opera with my Dad and latin music (Mambo, Chacha, Tango, Flamenco) with my Mom. I sang Gregorian chant in church and all kinds of wonderful music in the Tempe High School Choir. I've released my own album and singles and sung lead and backup on others' music, including Fly By Night, Larry Hosford, Lacy J. Dalton, and Luther Rabb (bassist for War). I've learned from my teachers Kenny Wells, Lois Utterback, Mr. Beasley, Robert Edwards and all the great musicians I have been fortunate enough to have worked with.
