Jeff Garber Talks Virgin River

Jeff Garber's music can be heard in Netflix’s smash hit VIRGIN RIVER, NANCY DREW, and more.

We discuss why Virgin River un-controversially resonates deeply with so many people, how Jeff transitioned from hard-edged songwriter + rock musician to a chameleon-like composer, his earthy minimalist approach to the music of Virgin River, the genius of Thomas Newman, Lindsey Buckingham, Helmet, The Smiths, and The Cure, the influence of Less than Zero and The Lost Boys, the allure of fingerpicking acoustic guitar, how to unlearn the past and develop new versatility, the importance of college radio and keeping up with the zeitgeist, and so much more.

Note: amidst the conversation we contended w/some internet audio hiccups and dogs barking, but it’s a small price to pay for great conversation. Virgin River (Music from the Netflix Series) is out now worldwide via Lakeshore Records.

Hosted by Alon Levitan.
