Rocky Mountain Made Tour 2026-Hugh Phillips at MeekerPalooza

Hugh Phillips returns to MeekerPalooza for the 5th year in a row, bringing his signature “Colorado Country” sound back to the Downtown Plaza on Main Street. Set in the heart of town, this summer night tradition brings the community together for live music, good food, and mountain-town memories under the open sky.

Before the music kicks off, White River Electric Co-op will once again host a free community dinner and giveaway, making this one of the most anticipated nights of the Meeker summer. Then Hugh and his four-piece band take the stage, delivering high-energy originals like “Boys That’s a Cowgirl” and “Bottom of the Bottle,” alongside crowd-favorite hits spanning classic country legends to today’s radio.

As New Music Radio Network says, “With what he calls ‘Colorado Country,’ you will always be on your feet whenever you see him take the stage.” From lawn chairs to dancing in the park, MeekerPalooza is Colorado country done right.

Colorado Country at its best! These guys are gaining a lot of traction performing fairs, festivals, and honky-tonks with a show you don’t want to miss! This 4-piece band performs their hits as well as Merle, Waylon, Hank Jr., Brothers Osbourne, Midland, Zac Brown, Dierks Bentley and a host of other greats from the 70’s all the way to the latest on Country radio. You can count on an exciting performance rocking out to country sounds with a bluegrass flair.
And the hits keep coming! Hugh signed with SSM Nashville and is well on his way to the bigtime releasing his second song ‘Bottom of the Bottle’ [SSM/SKM] to country radio in March and the video released in April this year. The combo has created buzz throughout the country music world. His first song ‘Boys That’s a Cowgirl’ [SSM] went to radio last year with huge success for a country artist new to the scene.
The Hugh Phillips Band is from Carbondale Colorado. Their first release ‘It’s Been a Long Time’ on SKM/String Kitchen Music, were nominated as the Best New Artist/Band, Best New Male Vocalist, and Best New Americana/Country Song [Hi-Ways] on the Colorado Playlist 2021 Listener Poll. With more music on the horizon as well as video and touring this is a band to watch!
