PROOF is an independent band based out of Southern California that has
been constructed over the past two years. In this short time they have
made an incredible impact on the Inland Empire music scene as well as
the Anaheim and Los Angels area.
Each
member of the band brings their own creative style and influence to the
writing process. These influences are based upon their personal life
experiences, people they meet and the music they listen to. This has
given them a style of music that is equivalent to none. Their sound is a
unique blend of rock and hip hop.

PROOF has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with bands such as;
Rehab, Too Short, Strung Out and Winds Of Plague. They have also had the
honor of playing on stages such as; The Whisky A Go Go, House of Blues
(Hollywood and Anaheim), The Vibe, Chain Reaction, The Fox Theater
Pomona, Stingers Nightclub San Bernardino, and other numerous venues in
the Inland Empire Area . With their stage experience, explosive energy
and dynamic live set they plan on taking 100 PROOF across the nation in
2012.

PROOF is currently recording their second EP which is due out in the
Spring of 2012. This EP will include collaborations with other well
known MC's from the Inland Empire.

Two-time winner of Best Self-Produced CD (from Rosedale Blues Society, and also Memphis Blues Society) Hughes has released four CD’s. Recipient of the Muddy Mojo Award, Memphis Songwriters Association Award, and Battle of the Blues Winner, Eric Hughes has been called a “guaranteed crowd-pleaser” by Living Blues Magazine. The title cut of Hughes’ latest CD “Drink Up!” has recently been awarded “Coolest Blues Song of 2013” by Big City Blues Magazine. Blues Revue Magazine described Eric’s songwriting as “…tough grooves and witty lyrics..” “I hit it pretty hard: six to ten shows a week- I enjoy the dependability and ruggedness of the Seydel harps. Gear-wise, a LOT can go wrong during a show; I like knowing that it’s not going to be my harp.
