- About me:
- John Hughes is a Canadian singer/songwriter from Rothesay, New Brunswick.
A self taught drummer, John was playing in bands, performing in bars and school dances by the time he was fifteen. While attending high school, John's band, "Trix", recorded a 45 single in Halifax, which received airplay from local radio stations. Excited by the success of their first single, Trix moved to Toronto after all the members graduated from high school. Writing and performing for three years, John eventually grew tired of the music business and moved back home to New Brunswick.
In the mid 80's, while attending university, John began to learn guitar. He re-strung an acoustic guitar upside down to suit his left handedness. Before long, he was playing guitar, harmonica, singing, and fronting the Neil Young tribute band "Broken Arrow". He performed in Rome, Italy at a 60th Birthday Celebration which was organized in Neil's honor.
Although Broken Arrow had much success, John wanted to concentrate on his own material, so Broken Arrow ended to make way for John's music.
In the summer of 2006, Neil Young called out publicly looking for protest songs against the Bush Administration and the War in Iraq. The approved songs would be posted on Neil's official website. John wrote and recorded the single "Bring 'em On", which remained 1 on Neil Young's list of protest songs for the better part of a year (along side such names as Pearl Jam, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle and Pink among others). John was invited to perform in Hollywood with some of the other performers from Neil's list.
John was then introduced to Joe Hardy, a veteran record producer/engineer best known for his work with ZZtop, .38 Special, Steve Earle and Georgia's Satellites. Joe produced John's debut album entitled "TIME". Recorded in Nashville in August and September 2007, the album is an expression of nearly thirty years of writing and performing - a look at an artist rich in experience, rebellious spirit, interesting tales and a keen passion for song writing.
