Who is "The Hugh Allen Band"?

As they continued to work together, the idea of playing music and forming a band kept getting bigger until one day they decided to try and find other musicians. They quickly found several like minded musicians who had the same goals, and The Hugh Allen Band was officially formed.
The band draws its repertoire from traditional 70s, 80s, and 90s country and southern rock. The band has also written and produced several original songs which are included in the wide array of songs at their shows.
