In 2007, Hughley moved to Nashville to pursue his dream and became a go-to session player and perennial sideman, in studios and on stages across the country with the likes of CeCe Winans, TajMo (the collaborative venture of Keb’ Mo’ and Taj Mahal), and The McCrary Sisters, earning himself two Dove award nominations for writing and producing in the process.

Now, it’s time for Hughley to step away from the side and into the spotlight as Gtar Phil & The Chank with the release of his forthcoming EP, Harlem, a collection of blues-inspired, Americana-leaning gems—another deviation from the path. In spite of his rock and funk background, Hughley found himself veering into a new musical lane, under the encompassing umbrella of Americana music. And Americana music needs a voice like Phil Hughley’s.
