"hi, all. here's a little about me. i'm in 9th grade. what's my name? i won't tell you - because i have a secret. every night i am at a different school's talent show with a new name. it's the only way to be who i was always meant to be! a true performer, a magician of the stage, a master of the audience. i don't know if you think i am very good or not, but i do not care! i love trying new things. i love being the star!!!!!!"

DINNERSSS (Jamaica Plain, MA)
DINNERSSS is discovery music - sounds meant to incite the spirit of exploration in the listener. Jimmy Hughes plays structured improvisations on synthesizers and samplers, adopting new technologies as instruments and compositional tools in the spirit of performance music. Each Dinnersss performance is a celebration of musical possibilities, with no two sets sounding the same. Hughes has shared the stage with a wide range of acts as Dinnersss (including Keith Fullerton Whitman, Container, Heatsick, Bitchin Bahas, Paul Flaherty, and Crank Sturgeon) and has collaborated with even more (Pete Negroponte of Gueriila Toss, Jacob Rosati of Skinny Bones, and Dave Seidel and Al Margolis, to name a few). 2015 will see the release of the first full-length Dinnersss album, as well as a cassette release of music recorded on the Buchla Music Easel, on his new label, Groovebox Museum."
