    The day before his senior year as a playwright student at UNC, Joe Pug sat down for a cup of coffee and had the clearest thought of his life: "I am profoundly unhappy here." He then packed up his belongings and drove to Chicago, working as a carpenter by day and practicing his guitar at night. Using ideas originally slated for a play he was writing, he began creating the sublime lyrical masterpiece that would become the Nation of Heat EP. With his bare-boned sincerity dripping off every note he sings, he is fast becoming one of the most respected songwriters of his generation. Audiences were captured by performances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and the Philadelphia and Newport Folk Festivals over the summer of 2009. The music of Philly's own Birdie Busch is natural. There isn't pretense, nothing forced or processed
