Howe Gelb being interviewed by Mark McLemore for Arizona Spotlight

Welcome to the Stairwell Sessions, a chance for local musicians to talk about their craft and play some of new songs, recorded under the stairs at Arizona Public Media.
Like a man slightly out of place in time, Howe Gelb cuts a distinctive figure, both in person and through sound. The depth and intimacy in his voice lend his words a haunting authority.
In his guitar playing, you can find the blues, country and folk, and flamenco, but Gelb’s thirst to explore often takes those influences to places that are distinctly his.
Mark McLemore talks with Howe Gelb about choosing to look back on his career with a new box set and the importance of eating apple cores in this Stairwell Session + interview:
