Over the past couple decades Duluth musician Charlie Parr has rose to become one of the prominent voices in Minnesota and folk music. His 2015 album “Stumpjumper” was his first album released on St. Paul folk label Red House Records and it was his first record to feature a full band.

“Stumpjumper” was adored by critics and fans alike, and was voted as KVSC’s number one album of 2015. KVSC Music Director Sammich spoke with Charlie Parr on the phone in anticipation of KVSC’s “Charlie Squared With Gin” show on May 25, 2016.

The pair discussed the recording of “Stumpjumper”, his touring experiences in Europe, and some clues to his next album. They also talked about Parr’s new hobby of using Instagram.
