Bob Mould is a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter best known for his work with seminal ‘80s punk rock band Hüsker Dü. Though initially met with modest mainstream success, the band was later credited as a key influence in the alternative rock scene. After Hüsker Dü split in the late 1980s, Mould embarked on his first solo album, quitting drinking and drugs and sequestering in a remote farmhouse to create 1989’s commercially successful Workbook. In 1992, Mould joined bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis to form alternative rock project Sugar, which went on to release two albums, an EP and a B-sides collection. Since then, Mould has released several more solo records that encompass punk, folk and electronic influences. Barbe will be opening Mould’s Athens show, as well as several other shows across his current Southeastern U.S. tour.
