Artist Interviews Ryley Walker
Katie Owens inhabited a corner of Schubas Tavern's basement for a pre-show interview with Ryley Walker. Ryley discussed the locales that make him most at ease, his distaste for downtime, learning 'punk rock ethic' from a veteran local musician and solicited his fans to contact him so he can play your house shows.
Primrose Green released March 31 on Dead Oceans. Ryley is currently on tour but will back to Chicago on July 17 for the 2015 Pitchfork Music Fest in Union Park.
