Abe Hughes “Bass Player”
Abe Hughes originally hails from just in between the White Mountains and the Lakes Region area of New Hampshire. There nestled in the backwoods, his earliest influences would have been listening to his Dad’s beat up Frank Zappa records, and his Mom singing harmony to early Tom Waits songs. Later on his own, he would discover offbeat rock acts like the Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground and REM. Eventually when his friends started listening to punk rock, he decided, “I can do that too,” slapped some stickers on a p-bass copy and started his first band, “The Italic Squirrels”.
Abe’s High School band Director once described him as a “Renaissance man” because “he seemed to be into a little bit of everything”. He would later develop this aspect of his personality, by going to school for recording, learning Jazz, and playing in the pit for musicals.
His biggest musical project aside from “Run Like Thieves,” would be “East is East” (2008-2014), where he played lead guitar and co-wrote most of the songs. As well as recording their demos and the EP “Proxima.”
Since then he’s developed a good reputation as a professional musician playing on many different projects. With these years of experience he’s learned an appreciation for “serving the song,” using his bass to carve out a tasteful line that is both purposeful and artistic.
