Jody Hughes Band

• Jody Hughes - Guitar, Banjo, Vocals
• Scott Glazer - Upright Bass
• Bob Knysz - Mandolin
• ?? - Drums

Our group is capable of playing a wide variety of sounds, everything from Bluegrass, original acoustic music and Jazz to Blues.

Many configurations are available, from a duet of Guitar/Banjo and Upright Bass to a trio of Guitar/Banjo, Upright Bass, and Drums. If you desire a quieter more acoustic sound or bluegrass, the band will have a Banjo/Guitar/Fiddle, Mandolin, and Bass. I enjoy working with others to determine the best configuration and material to meet their needs. We can also furnish our own sound system as well.

Rotating Band Members include:

• The Jody Hughes Experience is the right choice for upbeat, casual, mulit-generational bluegrass music. We had friends and family from 2 to 72 dancing to the music! A good time was had by all. -- Greg D, Commerce, GA, 5/14/2011
