Marc Gartman of Duluth band Damien shares new album for Homegrown

Marc Gartman has been a longtime creative force in the Duluth music scene, with projects such as Coyote, Glitterati, Marc Gartman’s Fever Dream, and the Grateful Dead style band Lazy Lightning 420. One of his latest ventures is the band Damien, an upbeat and funky electronic project whose second album Damien II: Son of Damien releases this weekend along with a performance for the Duluth Homegrown festival. Marc chats with Will Moore about how the band was created around a lucky thrift store find, working with Alan Sparhawk of Low and his son Cyrus, and an unexpected band that first got him into making music.
