From what he calls a UW-L house party band to one of La Crosse's favorites, lead singer, Andy Hughes, in studio to talk about TUGG at 25.

Hughes says TUGG started as a house party band at UW-La Crosse, and now they’re about to release a new album called 25 — celebrating a quarter-century of making music.

We also talk about Hughes turning 40 and becoming an old curmudgeon who hates all the music kids are listening to nowadays — which he claims he is not.

Hughes has a few solo gigs coming up — this Sunday at Alpine, and Aug. 13 at Schmidty’s. TUGG is also playing The Big Turn in Red Wing, Minn., on Aug. 16 — just one day before the new album drops.
