The Live Feed

For many Minnesotan concertgoers, Alan Sparhawk is an unforgettable name. With a career spanning over 2 decades, 4 musical groups and countless genres, the Duluth musician is known for his electrifying live performances. We caught up with Sparhawk after his performance with blues-rock group Black Eyed Snakes at Midwest Music Fest in Winona. We spoke about his influences, his sound and what his work means to him. I’m Willard Huyck and this is the Live Feed, on KQAL.

Tonight on The Live Feed we continue our coverage of the 2019 Mid West Music Fest. This time around we check out Minneapolis band Bathtub Cig. Dreamy, poppy, smooth vocals with honest lyrics these are just a few ways you could describe Bathtub Cig, oh, and there’s plenty of synthesizers. I caught up with the band after their set at Ed’s No Name Bar to see what they thought of our fair city and what the future holds for them. I’m Bill Stoneberg, with Bathtub Cig, on The Live Feed.
