Henry Hugo has been described as a cult figure, a chameleon artist lurking in the depths of music, with a unique vocal style producing melancholic lyrics about daily human experiences. A multi-instrumentalist, composer, sound engineer and producer, Henry has played with the likes of Hugo Race, the late Spencer P. Jones, Steve Lucas (X), Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth), and many more. The Kindred Souls (Damian Hooper - bass, Scott Bennett - drums, Charlie Barker - keys/saw, Douglas Galbraith - guitar) present Henry's compositions through a moody alternative-rock sound and disposition. With special guest Miguel Rios.
