Details:
Born and raised in the Carolinas, Hugo exhibited a talent for writing at an early age.

While attending the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, he decided to make his music the focus of his life.

After performing around the Carolinas for a few years, he left his home to perform regularly in the Florida Keys, kicking off a love affair with South Florida that continues today.

Hugo has performed with Jimmy Buffett, Charlie Daniels, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Larry Michael Lee of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, and many others during his career.

He has also shared the stage with noteables such as Fingers Taylor, Sam Clayton, Michael Utley, Russ Kunkel, Billy Dean, etc.

After moving to Key West, he quickly became one of the Island's premier acts, and then packed up and headed for Nashville.

His two current CDs are the result of his work with Nashville Producer/Artist Larry Michael Lee of "Ozark Mountain Daredevils" fame.

The two have made magic together in the recording studio, first on "Places Along the Road" and then on "Another Day in Paradise". They are currently working on a new CD entitled "Don't Be Fooled By The Hat", which will be released in November, 2005.

After almost 10 years in Nashville, Hugo moved back to his beloved North Carolina and currently resides near the beach around Wilmington.

As usual, Hugo travels quite a lot, performing his music to a growing number of fans, both with The Full Sail Band and as a solo artist. His following has become nationwide as well as international.

Hugo's growing numbers of fans really love the songs the man creates. It is not unusual to have their many voices join in during his shows. His accessibility to his fans is one of the reasons they remain so dedicated.
