Sheila Kirsten Hughes

about

Celebrated for her extraordinary vocal talent and musical diversity, Sheila Kirsten Hughes has been described as a "blues angel." Her soulful, captivating live performance has been described as "beautiful, raw emotion in audio form." Her voice has drawn a broad range of comparisons falling somewhere between Joss Stone and Norah Jones, with the emotional intensity of Björk, and the angelic sweetness of Sarah McLachlan. In March 2003, Sheila was thrust into the international spotlight when she was showcased on Jewel's former Soul City Cafe website, a program for independent artists created by Recording Artist Jewel. They called her "a champion of local music" and went on touting “...a voice that’s both powerful and delicate, incredible range vocally and stylistically...What’s not to love?...We absolutely must let the world know about this extraordinary individual!” The month-long feature introduced Sheila to thousands of potential fans across the globe. Joined by sound-engineer husband Chris Hughes on bass, percussion, and sequences in 2004, forming the Sheila Kirsten Hughes "Band," the duo has performed throughout the Bay area and beyond to great critical acclaim. "A championship voice…there is only one Sheila Kirsten Hughes!…an artist whose message must and will be heard…" declares WMNF 88.5FM DJ and Florida Producer Pete Gallagher. The band released their new album "Perspectives" in December, 2006 with a show at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. "Perspectives" was prod
