Description

We’re closing out the season with a big ‘un… per usual!
This week it’s the singer/songwriter/guitar slinger with an almost insatiable intellectual and musical wanderlust - Anders Parker.
He entered the scene in the mid 90’s when a 4-track recording he made in his Portland, OR apartment, titled Man of Sin, got passed around. Anders then formed a band and began walking a trail that has defined his life, as you’ll hear.  
As the leader/songwriter/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist of the band Varnaline, Parker toured and eventually released 5 albums under that name… and Anders entered the indie music lexicon.
As all things do, Varnaline ran its course, beginning phase two of Anders's artistry - a phase that has seen him exploring both his own solo work, collaborating with folks like Jay Farrar of Son Volt, and even adding music to some of the late Woody Guthrie’s songs. The resulting album New Multitudes found him collaborating with Jim James, Jay Farrar, and Will Johnson and remains a fan favorite.
The interview would’ve spanned two or three hours in order to cover everything Anders has accomplished in his career… and continues to accomplish. 
Geoff and Keith spoke with Anders about a fair chunk of his career and about his new album, The Black Flight, which drops on Friday, August 11.
Pull up a chair, relax, and discover one helluva great artist - by every measure and definition of the word.
