The Independent – San Francisco

Less than two weeks after releasing his third LP Windfall, Austin-based singer-songwriter Joe Pug brought his energetic, neo-Americana tunes to The Independent on Friday night. Reminiscent of a younger Bruce Springsteen, Pug’s heartfelt, genuine music sounded as good in a live setting as it does in the studio, and it was clear he loves playing it with an acoustic guitar in his hands. Milwaukee folk band Field Report opened the show.
