Allan Hubbard is an acoustic ambient and folk/roots artist from Paris, Texas.

From his website: "The visual of film has always inspired me - even films not created, just scenes and images in my mind - to create music that would be great backdrop and ambience. It's the only type of music I've created where I feel like a true artist adding layers with no boundaries, no expectations, no worrying if people will understand the lyrics (because there are none). Crafting something is to take the usual tools and elements and make something out of them that is familiar. Art is creating something that hasn't existed before."

"Ambient founding father Brian Eno (most known as a U2 producer) said: 'Ambient Music is intended to induce calm and a space to think. Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.' "

In 1981, Allan played the role of "Sonny" opposite Robert Duvall in the Oscar-winning film "Tender Mercies." Duvall attended his 10th birthday party a month after the film wrapped and gave Allan his first guitar (which he still has). In a memorable scene from the film, Duvall is giving Allan a guitar lesson.

Allan is a worship leader/associate pastor at a small Baptist church in northeast Texas - Mt. Olive Baptist (www.mobcparis.com) and is a crime victim advocate for the Lamar County District Attorney (www.lamarcountyattorney.com). He is married with 5 children.
