Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg is a British singer-songwriter whose work draws on folk rock, blues rock and traditional music. Born in Clifton, Bristol, in 1994, Bugg has been active since 2011, and the self-titled debut album, released on Mercury Records in 2012, marked the start of a recorded career built on guitar-led songs and a strong sense of British roots.

The concert brings this material to Bristol Beacon, a venue on Trenchard Street that hosts concerts and performances. The evening suits listeners who follow the artist's albums and anyone interested in British folk rock played live by a singer returning to their home city.

The programme follows the artist's own songs, with the acoustic and electric textures of folk rock and blues rock at the centre of the sound. Bristol Beacon offers a clear base for the night, and the concert forms part of a visit to the city that connects a local songwriter with a familiar audience.
