Joe Hughes the song writer, lead singer & rhythm guitar player for the band.
"I try to sing every song like its my last chance to sing. While onstage, I feel the passion for both the lyrics and the music as they come directly out of people, feelings and events in my life. Goldenseal gives me the opportunity and platform to convey important concepts while entertaining many people. I believe in the contract that exists between musician and fan and decided several years ago to surround myself with the best musicians and people I could find - and to give 100 percent every gig I play."

John is the lead guitarist in GS. "I have been playing guitar for most of my life and have always enjoyed writing and arranging original music. I also like playing cover tunes that connect with the crowd. My approach to soloing is all about finding the right notes for the song rather than the right notes for my head. I have many guitar influences including Jerry Garcia, Dickey Betts, Keith Richards, and Gary Rossington. -- Here's to hittin' the note!"
