Joe Ely and Joe Pug at the Mint

A double bill of Joes (one young, one less so) with excellent careers in ramshackle country-folk, Joe Ely and Joe Pug are mainstays of their genre. Ely fronted the cult favorite group the Flatlanders while maintaining a solo gig that’s even more spare and resonant; Pug became famous for giving his records away to anyone who asked for them, but has since moved onto wide praise for full lengths such as “The Great Despiser.” The Mint, 6010 W. Pico Blvd., L.A. 8:30 p.m. Sat. themintla.com.
