Tom Russell must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Somewhere between folk, country and Americana, Tom Russell has found a place where NYC bohemia meets Our Lady of Guadalupe and where railroad tracks lead you to places where pain and pleasure collide. He's an intelligent songwriter whose songs can be poetic without the sentimentality. At other times, he can be raunchy and downright ornery. His voice is pure, deep and strong and resonates beautifully in any room I've ever heard him. Russell is a true American troubadour and a real legend. Not to be missed!
Joe Pug's performance puts one in mind of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie. However, young, fresh and inspired, Pug's lyrics and musical genius are purely his own and of this generation. Pug is also a charming story teller with a lot of stage presence. If you like folk music, blues, and roots music, you will love this artist!
