Grayson Hugh

Grayson Hugh (born October 30, 1960) is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, Hammond B3 organ player and composer.

This began his association as composer for several well-known choreographers, notably Viola Farber of New York, Prometheus Dance, Rebecca Rice (Boston Ballet) and Christine Bennett of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Hugh was hired to sing backup vocals on that album and subsequently signed to RCA Records as singer-songwriter in 1987.

In 1988 "Talk It Over", a song written by Sandy Linzer and Irwin Levine that Hugh arranged, reached the Top 20.

"[3] Director Ridley Scott heard an advance pressing of Road to Freedom and wanted to put Hugh's music in his film Thelma & Louise (1991).

His gospel-tinged arrangement of Bob Dylan's "I'll Remember You" was the featured end-title song for the film Fried Green Tomatoes (1991).

[1][2] In 2004, now broke, estranged from his family and friends, and living in a back room in a Cape Cod restaurant,[2] Hugh suffered a near-fatal alcohol-induced seizure that left him hospitalized.

Hugh is currently working on a new roots country album called "Save Your Love For Me", scheduled for a release to be announced.

Due to the global coronavirus pandemic, in March 2020, Hugh was forced to put the recording of his new album "Save Your Love for Me" on hold, with a release expected sometime in 2025.

On November 1, 2020 Hugh, along with his wife singer Polly Messer, performed a live streaming concert at Caffé Lena, the legendary longest continually-running coffeehouse in Saratoga Springs, New York.
