With acclaimed albums like "Red-Eyed & Blue" and "Train in the Distance," he's been a staple in the city's music scene for decades as a solo artist and alongside Jeff Berkley as part of acclaimed duo Berkley Hart. Bug Guts, (rosebud and Scott Ireland) met during San Diego's punk scene heyday. After a transformative acoustic jam session, they embarked on a musical journey, releasing over a dozen albums. With a blend of Alternative, Folk, Punk, and Americana influences, their live performances are known for their infectious and playfully provocative energy.
