New Yorker Hugo playing Kent

http://www.hugorock.com “Elvis Costello Folds Five” Sirius/XM Satellite Radio “There's something charmingly old-fashioned about Jon Hugo Ungar's piano-driven pop songwriting on his EP, Low on Blood Sugar. Billy Joel, Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson might all recognize a kindred spirit in Ungar's breezy feel, clever wordplay and intricately crafted retro production. Fans of Ben Folds, Fountains of Wayne and Maroon 5 would do well to lend an ear.” Time Out NY “Hugo decided he needed to kill the traditional idea of a rock band. Sturdy piano rock tunes that sound like stream-of-consciousness Joe Jackson with the lyrical tone of a twenty-something Woody Allen. In the wake of other piano-oriented rock, like David Grey and Cold Play, Hugo offers us something different, and skillfully raw.” The Miami Herald
