What to expect

We are one of the fastest growing country acts in the Rocky Mountains, we logged over 25000 tour miles last year [2025] across 7 states! The band will get folks up and grooving and scootin' to the beat in no time!

We are available in solo, duo, trio or 4+-piece format to suit any size event. Hugh can play a super chill solo acoustic set for nice background music, a duo or trio for an acoustic/harmony vocal groove or he can bring the whole band for a rocking good time. We will make it easy to suit your needs and event style.
With available 1000-watt sound system, and 30 channel mixer you can be assured great sound in most any space. We also have a small array of lighting for small stages.
We mix our Colorado Country originals and with crowd favorites from Merle, Waylon, Hank Jr., Brothers Osborne, Cody Johnson, Midland, Zac Brown, Dierks Bentley, and more. From ’70s classics to today’s country radio, every show is a high-energy, boot-stompin’ good time, grounded in authentic country sound with a bluegrass edge. Keep in mind we are happy to do requests, but we will need a little notice to do so!

About

Hugh Phillips is a SSM Nashville/SKM Recording artist from Colorado. A multi-instrumentalist, Hugh is a natural performer. He has been putting on shows at fairs, festivals, and honky-tonks throughout the US, but especially in the Rockies. He’s released his debut single to country radio, “Boys That’s a Cowgirl” and had great success.
In his follow-up single to country radio, “Bottom of the Bottle”, Hugh shares the emotions of a tough heartbreak. He sings “I run til last call comes full throttle / but you’re always there at the bottom of the bottle.”
Colorado Country at its best! His 4-piece band performs their hits as well as Merle, Waylon, Hank Jr., Brothers Osborne, Cody Johnson, 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.
