The Album: 21

Twenty-one years of obsession, craft, and a relentless pursuit of the right sound. The lead single is Movin' To The Sun, which also names the tour, and it sets the tone for an album that is described as a journey, personal, sun-soaked, and built from two decades of living inside this music.
The album drops in June. The tour starts June 4. This summer is the moment everything HUGEL has built across twenty-one years gets its full expression.
