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!
