BEYOND THE BARRICADE


In the Van with Slow Joy

November 19, 2024

This week we are chatting with Slow Joy, (Esteban Flores), who is an incredible alt rock artist from Dallas. As he discusses the significance of the name 'Slow Joy' from the confines of his tour van in our first truly “mobile” interview, he also dives into the challenges he faced after the loss of his mother, and how he rediscovered his passion for music through therapy. Esteban emphasizes the importance of appreciating the time and effort of his audience, reflecting on his musical influences, and the local scene that shaped him. We ask about his lifelong influences, as well as his current musical inspirations, and he explains how listening to music with an “adult” perspective can be enlightening. Listen in on our conversation this week with Slow Joy to hear about his excitement for upcoming projects, the challenges and joys of touring, and so much more on this episode of the Beyond the Barricade Podcast!
