Craig Finn on Friendship, Fans and The Hold Steady’s Second Life

from Channels with Peter Kafka · host Vox Media Podcast Network

Craig Finn makes music — as the head of the Hold Steady, and on his solo records — about grown-up lives and bad decisions. Back in 2017, we talked about his life as a working rock musician — and how touring actually works, how the band found a second life, and why fans and friendship matter more than old ideas of rock stardom.
