Homegrown Country with Alex Hughes at the King Eddy

Calgary’s pop-country queen Alex Hughes performs a free Homegrown Country show on the historic King Eddy stage.

About Alex Hughes

If opposites attract, Alex Hughes is a walking dichotomy. Having been raised equally on the sounds of classic country and R&B, Alex’s take on pop-country delivers more soul and grit than one might expect from her 5’2” frame. With influences ranging from the likes of Linda Ronstadt and LeAnn Rimes to Snoop Dogg and Destiny’s Child, Alex possesses a distinct sound that weaves soulful runs into classic country melodies driven by pop beats. Regardless of whether it’s time to dim the lights or turn up the bass, Alex Hughes delivers a performance that audiences won’t forget. With a desire to honor the classic country songs she loved to sing in her youth and inspired by the bass heavy songs she used to blast in her Jeep when she was learning to drive, Alex promises to deliver something that is as sincere and fun as she is.
