Arlo Parks on winning the Mercury, the genius of Frank Ocean and the power of poetry

Listen to the interview with Arlo Parks

To celebrate Public Radio Music Day we featured a conversation between weekend host Dan Digs and Arlo Parks, recorded before her sold out Nashville show at the Mercy Lounge. Parks talked to Dan about her recent win of the UK’s highly coveted Mercury Prize, her love for Frank Ocean and the emerging artist Dijon and shared a previously unheard poem. In the spirit of the RADIO in Public Radio Music Day, we are encouraging you to listen to the interview instead of reading a transcript to experience the nuances, depth and joy the full audio provides.
