Apparently: Touring, Fatherhood & Recovery

Sound & Vision’s mini-series, Apparently, explores the intersection of parenthood and being a musician. For this next artist, he’s also struggled with addiction on top of it all. Pearl Nelson, also known as Pearl Dragon of the band Champagne Champagne, talks about idolizing Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix, falling into addiction on tour, and his path to recovery. He also discusses finally being in a place where he’s ready to tour again with clarity and confidence in his sobriety.
