Pants OFF! Podcast

Erik Brown is the co-owner of Lefty's Live Music in Des Moines, IA. He's also a talented multi-instrumentalist playing in avant garde jazz-metal outfit, The MAW. We talk through Erik's incredible journey from growing up in the South, to spending time in prison where he was able to find himself and start a path to redemption. Today, he is optimistic about navigating the stormy waters of owning and booking his own club. An undertaking that at times may not be the most financially beneficial, but intangibly gratifying to both he and the music community.
