Friday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Tonight singer-songwriter and musician Jake Bugg will perform live at Citibank Hall in Barra da Tijuca.
Born just a little over twenty years ago in England as Jake Edwin Kennedy, Jake Bugg has become well known for his youthful yet contemplative blend of Dylanesque folk and indie rock.
He released his self-titled debut album in 2012 after originally gaining popularity following a 2011 appearance at the Glastonbury Festival. That performance lead to airplay on BBC radio stations and then to appearances on television, then to appearances at more music festivals and later to album releases which would earn him worldwide popularity.
Bugg arrives in Rio tonight as part of his current world tour in support of his sophomore release entitled, Shangri La.
