Hueston and his team of collaborators have vision and direction and are building their own path around his soulful, emotional voice and his ability to mix darkness and light into his gift of music. It changes people. Like Hueston’s music, Silver Wings Records is intended to bridge and open the world of creativity to Nashville collaborators and country music artists.”, she said.
