Making his latest album, "Little Sun," got Charlie Parr out of his comfort zone. First of all, he left Minnesota for a few weeks to record in Portland, Oregon. Second, Parr is typically a solo artist, but he worked with a producer and a number of musicians to create "Little Sun." Parr’s assessment in retrospect? “It was wonderful,” he says.

"Little Sun" released on March 22, 2024, on Smithsonian Folkways. Before embarking on tour in support of the new album, Charlie Parr visited The Current studio for a session hosted by Radio Heartland’s Mike Pengra. Watch and listen to Parr’s song performances above.
