A Musical Poet compared to Prine & Dylan
A singer-songwriter known for his lyrical acumen and plaintive harmonica style, Joe Pug has released a string of critically-acclaimed albums and toured heavily in the U.S. and abroad. Paste Magazine wrote of his music: “Unless your surname is Dylan, Waits, Ritter or Prine, you could face-palm yourself to death trying to pen songs half as inspired.
“Joe Pug’s songs are no holds barred. The prettiness is raw, not meant to make you smile but wonder. This is music from the no-kidding column. Truth be told. Burning the candle at both ends. Spit on the sidewalk. Flush twice. It’s a north-American Tom Waits crossed with the edginess & starkness of the late Warren Zevon & Canada’s Tom Wilson of Junkhouse.” –Americana Highways
