Hugh Bob And The Hustle, Joseph Huber, and Hot Dog! Classic Country Spin DJs at Club Garibaldi
Since leaving the rural climes of northern Wisconsin for the relative big-city charms of Milwaukee, Hugh Masterson has done time with a number of successful and semi-successful local bands, most notably Bosio and The Wildbirds. But with the former long gone and the latter currently on hold, Masterson has been focusing on fronting his latest project, the country-fied Hugh Bob And The Hustle. On the group’s 2012 self-titled debut album, Masterson—along with Nicholas Stuart, Quinn Scharber, Bradley Kruse, and Justin Krol—trades the swagger and strut of The Wildbirds for breezy country ditties, thick harmonies, and the occasional barn-burning rave-up. “My band’s playing country, nobody better mess with me,” sings Masterson on “Mess With Me,” almost daring the city to lose itself in his group’s sincere and refreshingly un-ironic sound. If Hugh Bob’s debut is any indication, that shouldn’t be a problem.
