Rocky Mountain Made Tour 2026-Hugh Phillips Avant Vineyards Palisade CO

Hugh Phillips is a SSM Nashville / SKM recording artist bringing his signature “Colorado Country” sound to Avant Vineyards during Palisade Winefest. A Rocky Mountain-based multi-instrumentalist known for high-energy live shows and heartfelt songwriting, Hugh blends classic country grit with modern edge—perfectly paired with a sunset over the vines. From his radio-released singles “Boys That’s a Cowgirl” and “Bottom of the Bottle” to crowd-favorite hits spanning Merle, Waylon, Cody Johnson, Midland, and today’s country radio, Hugh and his four-piece band deliver a boot-stompin’ performance that fits right at home in Colorado wine country. As New Music Radio Network puts it, “With what he calls ‘Colorado Country,’ you will always be on your feet whenever you see him take the stage.” Whether you’re sipping, dancing, or soaking in the river views, this is Winefest done the country way.

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!
