In 2017 The US Jus’ Blues Music Foundation announced that Eugene Hideaway Bridges was to be their 2017 honoree for the Albert King Lifetime Award, “The Lucy Award”, for his outstanding contributions in continuing to keep the style of traditional Blues alive.
His live performances received rave reviews and Eugene was awarded UK's Blueprint Magazine Vocalist of the Year. He also won The Trophees France Blues 99 Chanteur De L'Annee among a long list of other remarkable accolades.
Big and burly, wearing a cowboy hat with his guitar slung across his chest, Eugene is a veritable Blues machine.
