JAKE BUGG



I stumbled across Jake Bugg a year and a half ago on YouTube and I’m really glad I did. The 19 year old folk rock musician from Nottingham has a voice that sounds like somebody way beyond his years. His voice is a nice change to the so called teenage “musicians” out there today whose best friend seems to be auto tune.

Although countless people have referred to him as a modern Bob Dylan-which in itself is a huge compliment, - he says he’s never really been a big influence unlike Donovan or Johnny Cash. Although he hasn’t reached the stardom of other artists yet, I truly believe you should follow his journey in doing so as I’m sure that he will eventually be a big name in the music industry. “Lightning Bolt”, “Seen it All” and “Two Fingers” are his most recognised songs from his self-titled album. However where Bugg really outdoes himself is in the simple melancholy “Broken” or “Simple as this”, where all that accompanies his voice is his acoustic guitar. It’s in these songs where Jake Buggs unique voice can truly portray his self written sharp lyrics and makes you realise  just how truly talented this guy is. Not only has he got a great voice, but he’s also got great guitar skills which he makes sure to show off in some of his faster tracks like “Lightning Bolt”. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of Jake Bugg in the future, as slowly but surely he becomes one of the most notable musicians out there.
