MUSICIANS INSTITUTE - HOLLYWOOD

[February 25th, 2007]

On Feb 15 Glenn gave a clinic for a class of music students at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. Here is what MIT graduate and teacher Christopher Maloney had to say about it: "Glenn Hughes was one of the most entertaining and enlightening performers we've ever had at the Musicians Institute. His stories of his own personal and professional challenges and achievements were inspiring even to the most apathetic student. His vocal and musical talents are well obvious, but it was his charm, frankness and sincerity that really came across to his audience, who rewarded him with a huge standing ovation (a rarity for "school events"). Most impressed were the faculty members who were in attendance, many of whom cancelled their classes and required their students to attend the Glenn Hughes event. The faculty knew the importance of their students hearing someone of Glenn's status, experience and talent. In fact, the instructors were just as blown away by Glenn as the students were. Overall, it was an amazing event, and we would have Glenn come back anytime." Some pictures can be found here.

MUSIC FOR THE DIVINE - USA RELEASE!

[January 29th, 2007]

Glenn Hughes, whose vocal talents have earned the singer the title of “the voice of rock,” has entered the newest phase of his storied career with “Music for the Divine", the vocalist/musician’s latest collaboration with drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Set for release January 30th in America on Demolition Records, “Music for the Divine” is a testament to Hughes’ versatility and ability to grow. “I had bought a 1955 Martin acoustic and I hadn’t written on acoustic in a long time,” said Hughes. “This is How I Feel,” “This House,” “Frail,” “The Divine,” and “Valiant Denial” were all the product of Hughes’ acoustic experimentation, but Hughes was also writing with the idea that he wanted to create an album that could be scored with strings. “He’s not stuck in the past,” Smith said. “It’s modern, new music. This album represents the full spectrum of Glenn’s music and it’s a great statement about where he’s at now. It’s very honest.”

With the love of funk seeded deeply in his soul, Hughes underlined each song with its own funky style. Smith, Hughes’ partner in crime in recent years, acted as a sounding board for Hughes’ demos before the musicians came together with longtime guitarist JJ Marsh to flesh out the tracks. The trio, along with help from Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante and Mark Kilian on keys and string arrangements, recorded “Music for the Divine” live at Smith’s Hollywood Hills home.

“I don’t think I can ever go back to recording any other way,” Hughes said. “Chad is an amazing arranger and he is the most musical drummer that I have ever worked with, and remember that I have worked with some of the greatest drummers.”

The Hughes/Smith musical relationship dates back to the NAMM show in 2002, where one of Smith sponsors, Sabian, heard about Hughes’ show and suggested that the duo would be a “match made in rhythm heaven.” Smith, who had been a big fan of Hughes’ work in Deep Purple decades before, gladly accepted the offer.

“Chad came down to my rehearsal and we clicked immediately,” said Hughes. “He sat in on half of my set at the show and has been my wife ever since!”

“We played the show and it was fantastic,” Smith said. “We hit it off immediately, musically and personally. He comes from a very similar background – soul, funk. It’s a really fun working relationship. Really, it’s just fun playing. I think Glenn us the best singer of his generation. He gets better and stronger. It’s amazing what a gift he has.” “I am extremely grateful that I have been given the gift to be a songwriter,” Hughes said. “It is like a tap has been switched on and it is continually flowing. It has been like this for about three or four years, and I am humbled by it and I don’t take it for granted.” (Mazur PR) [More]

FREEDOM FOR BULGARIAN NURSES IN LIBYA

Swedish guitarplayer and Glenn's bandmate for over a decade JJ Marsh recently launched a website in his name: www.jj-marsh.com. JJ's webmaster: "Some of the reference pages are still 'work in progress' because (a) JJ's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to remembering to provide much-requested information, and (b) he doesn't seem to have the first clue about what albums he's played on, when, where, and who with - bless him. But apart from these minor setbacks we've managed to make some sense of it all." Please take a look, also to read more on the delay of JJ's solo album!

NEW ALBUM - MUSIC FOR THE DIVINE

[March 30th, 2006]

Here is what Glenn has to say about his new album which is called Music for the Divine: "...the title is very important to me - when you hear the music, you'll understand the meaning. The title speaks to me, as all the previous one's have. Divine is goodness and is a statement to the fans that really understand my music. The album has deep lyrical and spiritual meaning and once again is where I'm at, at the present time. I do not wish to tread into the past and so this album is a major step forward to me. This is my most honest and artistic album. I am very glad to know that things have continued to grow along spiritual lines. Because of the amazing changes in my life, that have happened since 'Soul Mover', it has given me a creative output and encouragement to make this new album. When I was growing up in England, my favourite bands & artists were always growing and morphing and continually reinventing themselves and this CD, I believe, has captured all of those elements. Expect a release date in the second week of June." Click here to be taken to the studio report section.
