Jake Bugg, English singer-songwriter, is on his way to Bangkok to play one exclusive show on 1 May at Scala, Siam Square. The chart-topping Bugg burst onto the music scene as a 17-year-old prodigy in 2011 when he was selected to perform at the legendary Glastonbury Festival in England. Now 23 years of age, he is set to make his Thailand debut on 1 May. Tickets are priced at Bt2,600 and are available for pre-sale to My Live Nation members on 15 and 16 March. (To register: www.livenation.co.th). Official public sales start on 17 March at www.thaiticketmajor.com
Jake has now released four highly-acclaimed albums which have all made the Top 10 in the UK. For his latest, Hearts That Strain, Bugg flew to Nashville to record with some of the best players in the history of popular music. As part of American Sound Studio’s legendary house band The Memphis Boys, Gene Chrisman and Bobby Woods provided the chops on such iconic records as Dusty Springfield’s Dusty In Memphis, as well as Elvis Presley’s “In The Ghetto” and “Suspicious Minds”, cutting their teeth in sessions with legends like Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick. “It was a mad vibe being from England and meeting these absolute legends and then cutting some tracks with them,” Bugg said.
A chance encounter back in the studio in UK provided another surprise collaboration when mulleted country-rock superstar Billy Ray Cyrus stopped by and was so taken with the rough version of Bugg’s song “Waiting” that he suggested his daughter-younger sister of Miley-Noah Cyrus should sing it.
