Artist Spotlight: Jake Bugg

Today's Artist Spotlight comes to us from across the pond in Nottingham, England where we find the rich and authentic vocal power of young 18 year old singer-songwriter Jake Bugg. Jake evokes the raw and rugged image of Bob Dylan with various other influences ranging from Arctic Monkeys to The Doors, with a wide spectrum of lyrical wit and poeticism that gives you a visual stimuli of what Jake is like and what he brings to the musical table.
