UK based Classic Rock Magazine has been polling readers recently and leading by a wide margin in the category of “best rock singer” is none other than Epiphone endorsee, Glenn Hughes.
Having been a favorite of many (including Stevie Wonder) for a long time, the singer/bassist/guitarist is currently on a world tour in support of his new solo effort, First Underground Nuclear Kitchen.
We recently caught up with Glenn at the NAMM show in Anaheim, California where he had this to say:
“The Epiphone Blues Custom 30 Amp has it all. It can handle all of my styles, whether it’s Rock, Funk, Soul or Blues. It gives me exactly what I need to express myself in this musical hybrid, from a Club to a Stadium and beyond. I will ONLY play the very best…And that’s Gibson/Epiphone.”
