Craig Hughes is an alt.blues/roots performer from Glasgow, Scotland whose music is influenced by outlaw country, contemporary folk and the darker side of electric and acoustic blues. A string of well received recordings and his reputation as a guitarist, songwriter and live performer have led to comparisons with, amongst others, Richard Thompson, Howlin' Wolf, Nick Cave, Blind Willie Johnson, Jacques Brel, The Velvet Underground, ZZ Top, R.L. Burnside, The Cramps and Loudon Wainwright III.

Some press quotes:

As tough as Tarantino and as warped as David Lynch, his stomping fuzzed-up alt.blues is uncompromising stuff that packs one hell of a punch.
- Classic Rock Presents: The Blues Magazine (UK) April 2013

Craig Hughes has won praise far and wide for his uncompromising and powerful strum, the grisly and unflinching burr of his blues.
- Classic Rock Presents: The Blues Magazine (UK) February 2013

... an amazing picking guitar style whether electric or acoustic ... one singer who takes no prisoners.
