Estimated read time 2 min read

Joe Pug has collected plenty of the requisite Dylan comparisons over his young career but on his new record it’s easier to hear the sway of more contemporary influences like Josh Ritter, Ryan Adams and M.Ward.

If the past encounters between Denver and Phoenix are any sign, their show at Red Rocks will find everyone dancing, no matter what.
