Joe Pug on touring, giving music away, and becoming an adult

• Todd Roeth

In April, we highlighted Joe Pug‘s Daytrotter session, and mentioned how the singer-songwriter broke into the music scene by giving away his tunes to people at his shows. We recently spoke to Pug and asked him about that free music model, how he approaches songwriting, and what inspired him to write the content on his new album, the Great Despiser.
