My name is Jeff "Jeffersun" Hughes and I reside in Detroit Michigan along with many other talented original artists. I am a guitarist and songwriter with my main focus on mainstream Alternative Rock. My genre of music can be described as a mix of mainstream Alternative Rock and Blues Rock with soul. Jeffersun is my current solo project which intertwines rock and blues with Jeffersun's original sound. My last solo project was "Stepkid Hughes" which was a mixture of rock and soul.I have been influenced by many legendary rock greats such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Dave Navarro, Joe Satriani, and Carlos Santana. I have rocked with several local bands both original and cover over the last thirteen years. I have always been involved with other bands and projects but I always go back to my solo projects. In 1998 I entered and won first place at the 102.7 The Bear "Best Licks" contest and won a Ted Nugent autographed guitar. I am looking to get signed with an Indy label.
I am currently working on getting in the studio soon to put together an EP for the Jeffersun project. Under my last solo project "Stepkid Hughes", I recorded a three song demo named "Too Illegit to Quit", click here to listen. The songs include Pee-On, Just a Kid, and The Heat.
As well as my Jeffersun solo project, I am currently a part of two cover bands Vision and Shoreline. Vision is a top 40 pop rock band with covers ranging from Pink Floyd, Porno for Pyros, Aerosmith, Nirvana, etc. The members of Vision are Mike Matousek -Bass Guitar, Sean Simister-Drums/Percussion, Bill "Giff" Gifford-Lead Vocals, and Jeff Hughes-Lead Guitar/Vocals. Shoreline is another band with covers ranging from Fleetwood Mac, Jewel, No Doubt , and The Cranberries. The members of Shoreline are Chrystal Schultz-Lead Vocalist, Dan Grim-Bass Guitar, Sean Simister-Drums/Percussion, and Jeff Hughes-Lead Guitar. Driven is a hard driven classic rock band covering songs from bands such as Black Sabbath, Lynard Skynard, Molley Hatchett, and Weezer. There is no limit to the madness.
Upcoming shows with Jeffersun, Vision, Shoreline and Driven are available on the news and upcoming events page on my website www.jeffersun.com. I'm looking forward to entertaining the Metro Detroit area and other locations around the Tri State Area. Please contact me if you would like to be added to my mailing list or if you have any questions about upcoming events. So get your rocks off and roll!
