Jake Bugg
to
Sala Apolo c/ Nou de la Rambla 113, Barcelona
Jake Bugg brings his husky voice and lulling melodic guitar to Sala Apolo on Thursday 8th February.
Bugg was selected from thousands of entrants to appear on the BBC Introducing stage, a showcase for the best upcoming young artists, at Glastonbury in 2011. Aged 17, the young singer-songwriter quickly gained national attention for his Dylan-like vibes—a mixture of folk and rock recorded retro-style with modern lyrics. His debut album Jake Bugg (2012) was met with huge acclaim and reached number one in the UK.
Since then, he has followed a wandering path through pop and hip hop, working with famous names, such as Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, on his albums Shangri La (2013) and On My One (2016). Bugg’s current tour promotes his latest album, Hearts that Strain (2017), which sees the return of his raconteur style, with darker, country-esque tones and lyrics that reminisce about his upbringing on a Nottingham council estate.
Tickets from €25.
