About Me

About Me Mike Hughes

I grew up in Northwest Missouri on a small farm! I started playing and singing country music when I was 12 years old for local community dances and music shows. Eventually I graduated up to playing at bars, honky tonks, and music festivals. I’ve played in Branson, Texas, all over the midwest, along the east coast and I’d be happy to play at a place near you!

These days I’m writing my own songs and making the best music I can on my own albums. My first two albums “To Make An Angel Cry” and “Honky Tonkin Again” were recorded at Hilltop Studios in Nashville Tennessee. “Nobody Writes A Country Song” was my first single released to the air waves by Big Bear Creek Music thanks to Donna Cunnigham.
