Hugh Laurie takes Mojohand on the road – worldwide!

by | Feb 1, 2018

Hugh Laurie and the Copper Bottom Band take the Blues art of Grego Anderson worldwide on their latest tour

Grego is hired to create stage props for Hugh Laurie, a big collector of Mojohand art.

I have been fortunate in my nearly 30 years of being a professional painter and musician of being befriended by some amazing people on this earth, and one of my favorites is Mr. Hugh Laurie who not only owns a large number of original paintings, but he also sought out my help to transform a few pieces of his stage show to reflect his love of the Blues. His team shipped me a large and very heavy wooden partition that went around his keyboard players gear and wanted his favorite musicians depicted all over it in my signature folk art style. After 3 weeks of work, and a huge shipping bill – I delivered the final piece to his production company in LA. Fortunately, Hugh was playing at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas – my current place of residence, and I got to spend an evening with Hugh, his charming wife and the majority of his band – we caught the Paul Oescher show and enjoyed a bit of nightlife the night before his ATX performance… and I followed it up with some great seats and backstage passes courtesy of Hugh as well – a great evening of the Blues… he is truly a showman who loves the Blues with a reverence. I will post some more of these pics when I run across them on my phone, but for now, here are a few I grabbed off the web.
