Tyler Hughes and Sam Gleaves play old time country music and newly written songs from the Appalachian mountains. Their programs feature fiddle and banjo hoedowns, close mountain harmonies, stories of all kinds, Carter Family-inspired autoharp and guitar, country gospel songs, lonesome ballads and flatfoot dancing. As a duo, Gleaves and Huges also perform contemporary songs that tell stories from today’s Appalachia, which can be heard on Gleaves’ critically acclaimed album Ain’t We Brothers. Huges and Gleaves have performed at many venues throughout the eastern United States and on programs such as West Virginia Public Radio’s Mountain Stage and Lexington, Kentucky’s Red Barn Radio (broadcast on Kentucky Educational Television). They have recently made their first duo recording, produced by Cathy Fink, to be released in June 2017 by Community Music, Inc.
