Eugene “Hideaway” Bridges (USA)

Born in New Orleans, Eugene Bridges is a nomadic musician living his life on the road travelling from America through Europe, to Australia with many other stops in between. A towering man with a huge voice, playing an unparalleled brand of blues, oozing enough genuine charm to light up a small city.

With his father being Blues guitarist Hideaway Slim and mother from the Bullock family (the same as Anna Mae Bullock better known as Tina Turner) Eugene claims he got his guitar skills from the Bridges side and his voice from the Bullocks. At five he sang gospel and was the musician of his church touring with the Pastor, Elder AA Edwards. At thirteen Eugene was entering R&B talent shows and had formed his first R&B band The Five Stars.

Blues, Soul, Jump, Funk, Gospel, Rock and Beach Music all make Eugene’s shows an upbeat journey through all the musical influences that have made him the seasoned and versatile performer we have today.
