Brian Hughes (born 1955) is a Canadian guitarist whose work draws from both the smooth jazz and world music genres. (Of the latter, his influences have thus far been primarily Latin.) Not restricted entirely to conventional guitars, Hughes has also been known to employ the oud, bouzouki and balalaika. He has worked in the studio with singer/songwriter Loreena McKennitt and co-produced many of her recordings with her. Hughes has many albums started with songs from the early 1990's. His music is contemporary jazz using the jazz guitar for his instrumental music. His latest release was the CD Along The Way released in 2003. Many of his works can be heard on The Weather Channel's Local on the 8's.
