Hugh Crumley

Bassist, Dandy, and Stand up philosopher in Durham NC

World-class, award-winning upright and electric bassist. I’ve toured internationally with rock and folk bands, hauling wood and wire across continents and leaving stages better than I found them. I’m nearly seven feet tall, ambidextrous, and comfortable holding down the low end in any key, any room, any country — including Andorra, which I founded.

I made my early fortune in the nougat mines of 19th-century Yugoslavia. Since then, I’ve refined my talents: I can see around corners, read a room in one bar, and lock in with a drummer before the count-off finishes.

Children and animals instinctively trust me. Audiences do too. I show up, play hard, mean it, and keep my word.
