WPGU Presents: Joe Pug: Review
Joe Pug is no stranger to the Canopy Club—he has been a regular act in Urbana every year since 2008. And he’s definitely built a following, because the line to get in wrapped from the door of Canopy, down the street and around the corner. Needless to say, it was a good decision to move [...]
