Joe Pug live at Eddie's Attic! A singer-songwriter known for his lyrical acumen and plaintive harmonica style, Joe Pug dropped out of college and moved to Chicago, where he worked as a carpenter before breaking into the city's music scene. Since 2008 he 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." He has toured with Steve Earle, Levon Helm, The Killers, Sturgill Simpson, and many others, and has appeared at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and The Newport Folk Festival. His music has been featured on NPR's Prairie Home Companion and Mountain Stage, and released via Lightning Rod Records alongside Jason Isbell, Billy Joe Shaver, and James McMurtry. He is also the creator and host of the popular podcast The Working Songwriter.
