Alan Sparhawk is a singer, songwriter and a founding member of the Duluth based band Low, where he has built decades of stirring music with his wife and lifelong creative partner Mimi Parker. Following Mimi’s passing in 2022, Alan has released two solo records, the first titled White Flowers, My God and the most recent Alan Sparhawk with Trampled By Turtles, both available now via Sub Pop Records. Alan shares his experiences from the most recent tour, what almost destroyed him, how he deals with it and why he thinks it’s healthy to have near breaking points on the road. He tells us how his pitch corrected vocals style on White Flowers, My God was both a cathartic and perspective changing experience. We learn how he came to collaborate with fellow Duluthians Trampled By Turtles and why the relationship has provided personal and performance confidence he was seeking. Joe and Alan discuss the playful vocal phrasing on the song Stranger, why Alan rarely plays acoustic guitar and origin of Alans funk band Derecho Rhythm Section.
