Craig Finn talks about the stories, memories, fiction and nonfiction that feeds songwriting

Craig Finn is interviewed by Jill Riley in The Current studio Support The Current: https://support.mpr.org/youtube Craig Finn is fascinated by the creative process, including the experiences, stories and memories that inform songwriting. Finn has certainly written many songs — he’s released nine studio albums with his band the Hold Steady as well as another five solo releases — and now he’s branched out into the podcast world where he can talk to other creative people about their memories and stories and what inspires them. And if that’s not enough, Finn has been busy taking the show on the road with his “This Is What It Looks Like: Solo Songs and Stories" tour, which stops at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul on Saturday, Nov. 16. Despite his busy schedule, Finn visited The Current studio to play some songs and to talk with Jill Riley about all of his ongoing projects. And because Finn is originally from the Twin Cities but has lived in New York for more than two decades, he spills the tea on the culinary item he thinks Minneapolis will always do better than New York. Watch and listen to the interview above.
