Jake Bugg
21 years old and three albums down.
Overview
When Jake Bugg's self-titled debut album hit the UK charts at #1, he was just 18. Fast forward three years and it looks like only a 'Lightning Bolt' would stop him. He's released another two full-lengths, the latest being On My One, which came out on June 17. Combining blues, folk, country and surprising dash of hip hop, its preoccupation, Bugg told iHeart Radio is loneliness. Naw.
"Some of the songs, they are personal, and some of them, whenever I want to get away from personal things, I write stories to try and put myself somewhere else," he said. The last time we Aussies saw him was in 2015, when he supported Mumford and Sons in their wildly popular Gentlemen Of the Road tour.
