Hughes, the folk roots project of Yellowknife, Canada, musician Benji Straker, blends heartfelt melodies, introspective lyrics, and surf-inspired guitars to explore self-discovery and the human experience. Infused with a blues rock twist, Hughes’ sound combines reverb-drenched riffs with folk storytelling.
Joined by Ben Cornel (bass/vocals), Vishwaa Ramakrishnan (lead guitar/pedal steel), and Glen Whelan (drums), Hughes transforms into a dynamic live band, delivering energetic and deeply resonant performances.
Inspired by northern landscapes and personal stories, Hughes seamlessly mixes introspection, raw emotion, and vibrant rhythms, offering audiences an evocative journey that’s as powerful solo as it is with the full band.
