Joe Pug Returns | The Marinade Episode 158

Joe Pug is our guest for the second time. Joe is a revered singer, songwriter, and podcaster from Greenbelt, Maryland. He has been releasing music since 2009’s classic record Nation of Heat, which was about the time his work came into my life when he opened for the legendary Steve Earle. His latest record Sketch of a Promised Departure will be released on March 3, 2024. 

The first time we talked was a remote conversation back in 2021. This time we got to sit down with Joe backstage ahead of his show at Tuffy’s Music Box in Sanford, FL. The wonderful songwriter and friend of the show Michael McArthur opened with Josh Davis on guitar. The atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful and I am so grateful to bring you this episode. Everyone, it is my great honor to bring you the return of Joe Pug.

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 96 | Joe Pug

Joe Pug dives into The Marinade! Joe Pug is a singer, songwriter, and podcaster whose work has meant so much to me since I was introduced to his music over a decade ago. Pug has released a handful of excellent full length studio albums, a couple of equally outstanding EPs, and a must listen live record, Live at Lincoln Hall which includes Pug’s friend the great Strand of Oaks. His most recent album The Diving Sun is one of my favorite records of the year. In addition to music, Pug has a fantastic podcast called The Working Songwriter where he has hosted the likes of Brian Koppelman, Ray Wylie Hubbard, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Todd Snider, and more.
