The Check-In with Logan Lynn

Logan Lynn is a singer, songwriter, producer, filmmaker, and activist currently based in the Northwest. For the past 25 years, he has been recording and releasing music with Caroline, EMI and The Dandy Warhol’s label, Beat The World. His newest record, Softcore, will release on June 7th via Kill Rock Stars, alongside a film of the same name. Logan shares his story of growing up in a Christian cult, how that led him to creating music in his youth and how he wound up in Portland, Or during his artistically formative years. He shares the love loss and self-motivated loneliness that inspired the new record and how he came to a Bill Callahan/Smog song as his lead single.  He tells us about his involvement with Pass The Mic, a foundation started by Portugal The Man that advocates philanthropy and community engagement around universal issues related to human rights, community health, and the environment with a specific focus on the stories of Indigenous Peoples. Logan also shares his community’s reaction to his attendance to a White House Pride event, and we hear a few tunes.Logan LynnKill Rock StarsPass The Mic FoundationEpisode supported by IzotopeEpisode supported by DistrokidEpisode supported by Thunder Road Guitars Mentioned in this episode:IzotopeSchecter GuitarsDistrokid
