Jake Bugg

Overview

How’s this for a young gun? Jake Bugg played his first Glastonbury at age 17, and his debut album went straight to number one in the 2012 UK charts and his second album Shangri La, produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, has enjoyed immense critical success. When Rolling Stone and Q Magazine peg someone to be the next big thing, you can’t help but have a little listen for yourself.

Bugg is working on some new material at the moment, but in the meantime has released his Messed Up Kids EP, which perfectly captures today’s restless youth. He will be playing two shows at the Palace in April, or you can make the trip up to Byron Bay Bluesfest. He'll no doubt be worth it.
