Concert by Mat Hughes, a Halifax-based country-blues keyboardist, performing with his band The Rubber Tire Peep Show.
Mat Hughes is playing the Army Navy Air Force Club on Friday, July 24, with his band The Rubber Tire Peep Show. It's a Halifax homecoming for Hughes, who's returning to his own city to take the stage with his full group.
There's a bit of a story to the night. The Rubber Tire Peep Show is bringing the music back to Nova Scotia to play alongside Hughes' 'brother of the east', whom they've dubbed 'NS's Elton John'. The two acts sharing the bill means the evening is built around a few different threads running at once. The band describes what's in store as duelling keyboards, country-blues blunders and existential ballads—a mix that suggests the night will swing from rowdy, keyboard-led numbers to the slower, more stripped-back side of things.
Between the two acts, you'll get the full range of what they're bringing: the country-blues side of the band and the ballads that sit on the other end of the set. The 'duelling keyboards' part of the description gives a good sense of how the two will fit together on stage, with the keys taking a lead role throughout. It's a local show in every sense, with Hughes playing in his home city.
