___________________________


Bug Hunter and The Narcissist Cookbook are bringing their show back on the road in 2026, playing their solo material as well a selection of songs from their hit songwriting podcast, Jam Mechanics.


•• BUG HUNTER ••

Bug 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.


•• THE NARCISSIST COOKBOOK ••

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.
