Episode 024 - Rulon Brown; Created the Seattle OnHold music program & founded Key Leaves®


Listen Later

Rulon Brown grew up in the boondocks of Anchorage, Alaska playing saxophone in coffee shops and pit orchestras for caffeinated audiences with cabin fever. As a teenager, he spent summers in Pittsburgh studying with legendary soul saxophonist Eric Kloss.   He performs many genres of music, including Celtic Jazz and Latin music, and his commercial credits include work for interactive media, TV, radio, web, and phone systems.   Rulon created the Seattle OnHold music program, a first-of-it’s kind showcase of local musicians that attracted front-page praise from the Los Angeles Times and inspired great cities across the U.S. to emulate the program.   In addition to his artistic work, Rulon created and founded Key Leaves® – a line of revolutionary sax care products that prevent sticky sax pads by leaving keys open to dry.
