Utah-based indie-folk band The National Parks talks about their new album, 'Wildflower,' and the challenges of making live music in a pandemic

The National Parks — an indie-folk quartet based in Utah — had this great idea: They would promote their new album with a daylong music festival at an outdoor amphitheater just outside Zion National Park.

Then the coronavirus pandemic happened.

I interviewed the four members of The National Parks about the album — “Wildflower,” which comes out Friday, June 19 — as well as the indefinitely postponed Superbloom Music Festival, their social-distancing tour of acoustic shows, and the joys of making music and playing it to large groups of fans.
