Alan Sparhawk
“A force of creativity, the Duluth-based guitarist and vocalist has continually pushed his own musical limits and experiences through multiple side projects, diving in to various sounds.” – KAXE
Thirty years into a career of music making, 2024 finds Alan Sparhawk entering uncharted territory. Sparhawk co-founded the band Low alongside vocalist and drummer Mimi Parker, who passed away in late 2022. Their music derived elemental power from its fearless exploration of quiet, gentle places. Low released thirteen albums and influenced a movement of spacious, graceful, intimate, and ever-evolving music. Sparhawk has recently been playing with various collaborators and projects with friends and family members, including guest appearances with Yo La Tengo, Trampled by Turtles, Peder Mannerfelt, Charlie Parr, and funk band Derecho Rhythm Section. He will release an album under his own name—and his first full-length since the death of Parker—this fall.
