The Gareth Hughes Blues Band Blues, Belfast
The Gareth Hughes Blues Band
The Gareth Hughes Blues Band is a unique 5 piece who deliver up a special blend of raw chicago blues, with a mix of west coast swinging jazzy style blues.
They are fronted by Gareth on vocals and harp, and pay tribute to the great harmonica players before him, Junior Wells, Little Walter, William Clarke etc.
The band is held together by the jazz influenced guitar stylings of Martyn Garbett and Niall Greer, whose blues steeped jazz styles allow the band to bring this traditional music to life.
Spotlight Session
The Gareth Hughes Blues Band came together through the Blues jam scene, with the idea for the band taking shape on the road back from a jam in Monaghan. Since then, they've been bringing their own take on authentic Chicago Blues to Belfast, mixing classic songs with plenty of improvisation and a bit of Jump Jive energy.
With a passion for keeping the Blues alive and bringing people together around the music, they've quickly become part of Belfast's growing Blues scene.
Here they are, in their own words.
