"I have worked with Andy Hughes for almost 10 years. I am the co-founder and booking agent for an outdoor concert series called Moon Tunes. Andy’s band, TUGG, has played eight straight years and has consistently drawn huge crowds. He has also performed at our 1930’s music venue, The Grand Hotel Ballroom. Over the years I have booked many bands and know there are good musicians and there are good entertainers. With Andy, you get both. 120%. He is totally professional, easy to work with, and just a dang good guy! You can feel content working with him."
