Artist: BRICK BRISCOE
Who: Musician, radio and television personality. This soft-spoken yet hard-driven man
still claims to be a fan first and foremost. Days of post-punk vinyl and the emerging indie film wave, CBGB’s, Wire, The Beautiful South, Gang of Four, The Jam, Stan Ridgway, Mekons have left an indelible mark. After testing the tides of both Los Angeles and New York City,
he found both solace and fire in the soft rolling plains of Indiana.
