Hugh Pool (born Hugh Eustis Potts Pool, March 17, 1964, Mars, Pennsylvania) is an American musician, songwriter, and producer who plays guitar in a unique style that melds traditional Delta blues, country music and classic and psychedelic rock and roll. His instrument of choice is a National Steel Triolian, a resonator guitar somewhat like a Dobro, played with a spark plug wrench through an Ibanez TS-9 overdrive pedal and a Dunlop Dyna comp compressor. He also plays harmonica, banjo, lap steel, mandolin, sings and plays standard electric guitars.
