Allie Hughes

About

Though often simply billed as a singer/songwriter, Allie Hughes' music impressively incorporates too many varying genre elements to easily pigeonhole in such a way. With a background in musical theater, Hughes' live performances are heavy on elaborate costumes, set changes and her adapting of different characters to create a unified and multifaceted show that has earned a lot of positive ink from Canadian music critics. Her songwriting style is all over the map, working in and out of the confines of quirky indie pop, irreverent folk and cabaret. With a highly unique style and ambition in spades, Hughes should continue to emerge as one of Canada's more interesting songwriters in years to come.
