   Episode 29: Love, Learning, and Showing Up with Kenneth Brown (Interview Only)

   In Episode 29 of Creative Evolution, host Josi J sits down with Kenneth Brown. He started on drums at four years old and picked up piano at six, and has spent a lifetime moving between jazz, blues, rock, R&B, and hip hop. He has performed with David "Fathead" Newman, Curtis Fuller, Steve Nelson, Warren Wolf, and Greg Tardy, lived and played in Colorado for about five years, and produces hip hop tracks on the side. After his debut album 3 Down, he wrote and recorded Love People during the pandemic, an album built on the idea of being a "love person" that started with a T-shirt. Today he hosts Sunday Night Live in downtown Knoxville, runs the Love People video podcast on YouTube, and is writing his next album. This is the pure conversation start to finish. No music sweeps, no breaks. Just Josi, Ken, and a lifetime of love, learning, and showing up. 🥁Kenneth Brown https://www.facebook.com/kenbrownondrums/ (https://www.facebook.com/kenbrownondrums/) Credits: Guest: Kenneth Brown Host, Producer, Copywriter, Research, Art Director and Designer: Josie "Josi J" Jones Editors: Josie "Josi J" Jones and William Johnson Hosted on Ausha.
