In his college years David Hughes was a guitar/banjo playing math major who converted vehicles to run on restaurant waste grease. As the years passed he found himself in a stressful, all consuming job, but the desire to take his music more seriously never left him. He has since taken the leap and now teaches music, works for his local arts council and has made a record inspired by his love for old American music (specifically Piedmont blues, old-time string band music and ballad singers of his native state of North Carolina.) He reminds us that enjoying music is a very fundamental human experience which can create social connection as well as a healthy way to process our emotions. And most importantly, he encourages us all to get excited about our failures because this means we are trying...and that it truly something to celebrate.
