More on Joe Pug:
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, Justin Townes Earle, Sturgill Simpson, and many others. He has appeared at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and The Newport Folk Festival. His music has appeared on NPR’s “Prairie Home Companion” and “Mountain Stage”. His music has been released by Lightning Rod Records, which features an alumni roster of Jason Isbell, Billy Joe Shaver, and James McMurtry.
Additionally, he is the creator and host of the popular podcast The Working Songwriter.
More on Michael McArthur:
Michael McArthur is a critically acclaimed songwriter and musician with a bittersweet style rooted in personal experience. He built his career the same way he writes his songs—by putting in the work to get the muse to visit. With several singles and EPs under his belt, created with producers David Bianco (Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams) and Greg Wells (Adele, Taylor Swift, Rufus Wainwright), McArthur released his first full-length album, Ever Green, Ever Rain on his own label in 2018, produced by Grammy-winner Ryan Freeland (Ray Lamontagne, Bonnie Raitt). He wrote and recorded his sophomore full-length release amid the isolation and uncertainty of the global pandemic, working with storied producer Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Kings of Leon, James Bay) to create Milky Stars, a 12-track album awash with imagery as intimate as it is mighty. The album was released via Transoceanic Records in September 2022.
