Podcast 73: Chris Funk of Black Prairie & the Decemberists
When he was 25, musician Chris Funk left the Midwest for Portland, Oregon. Why? \u201cI knew John Fahey lived in Oregon, and that was a big draw for me. And I knew Bill Frisell lived here [in Seattle]. They\u2019re two of my idols.\u201d As he tells us in this podcast, shortly after relocating to Oregon, he\u2019d meet Colin Meloy and, soon thereafter, become a core member of the Decemberists. In 2007, Funk and the Decemberists\u2019 Nate Query, Jenny Conlee and John Moen decided to form their own bluegrass-inspired offshoot band, Black Prairie. Black Prairie recently released their third studio record, Fortune (Sugar Hill).\xa0
