ARTIST BIO
A singer/songwriter whose songs offer an updated version of the
country-folk archetypes that Bob Dylan and John Prine made famous, Joe
Pug was born and raised in Maryland, and began playing guitar when he
was in grade school. Pug formed his first band on a dare from his
sixth-grade science teacher, who didn't believe Pug and his friends
would be able to pull something together in time to appear at a school
dance. The boys were able to deliver a presentable version of a tune
from the first Foo Fighters album, and Pug was on his way; before long
he began writing songs, convinced at an early age that a real band
should play its own original material. After graduating from high
school, he traveled south to North Carolina to attend college. Pug was
studying writing plays, but in time his growing passion for
songwriting overwhelmed his interest in drama. Pug dropped out of
school and relocated to Chicago, where he supported himself as a
carpenter while he wrote songs and began working his way into the
city's club circuit. He released his debut EP, Nation of Heat, on his
own label in 2008. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
