Joe Pug Tells it Like it Is

When Rum Bum first met Joe Pug in Denver at the Mile High Music Festival, he seemed like a clean cut and quiet boy next door. In Chicago, his adopted hometown, he was more in his element and opened up to us about the nature of things. (Something he tends to leave to his socially conscious, and socially critical, music.)

We still think he's a boy-next-door type, but with his rippingly-honest, socially-bound, soulfully-powerfull music, we think he has the power to turn into the next Springstein.
