With his eponymous debut album hitting the top spot last October, Jake Bugg is the next guitar hero. His rootsy rock 'n' roll has been championed by 91Èȱ¬ Introducing since he uploaded his tracks back in 2010, and last year he wowed the Reading crowd with a surprise set on their signature stage.
Inspired by Johnny Cash and Jimi Hendrix, Jake started writing after hearing Don McLean on The Simpsons and has gone on to support the Stone Roses and Lana Del Rey. Known for his honest observations and toe-tapping riffs, the wonder boy claims he picks up his guitar to encourage others to pick up theirs. As he takes to the R1 / NME stage, Reading and Leeds - you know what to do.
