💥WED JUL 1st! 🐞 IS BACK w/ 🐷 and tix are almost sold out! 🎟️💨 Get yours soon.
Bughunter has the very unique skill of being able to put a lifetime of experiences in a single song. 🖤 There is also a very rare quality where even the most painful lyrics manage to have a silver lining or hope within their theme ✨
Every song has a story, and every story has something profound to pull from it. 📖 Every single album and song is an entire rush of words that manage to perfectly capture so many specific emotions and moments in time. 😭💖 There is such a rare quality in the writing, and I’ve yet to find another artist that I can fully compare to Bug Hunter.
🎤 Mudslinger/songwrecker The Narcissist Cookbook uses five-rounds-rapid storytelling and powerful songwriting as a siege weapon trained on the barker between the stage and the audience.
🔥 An irreverent, unpredictable and inimitable voice in modern spoken word.
Honestly? This show is for the lovers of stories, feelings, strange little observations, and songs that somehow leave you laughing and crying at the same time.
⏳ Don’t sleep on this one, babes.
