Hello friends! I hope you had a great Independence Day! Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Brian Beken is my guest for episode 1291! After 15 years of playing with bands like Robert Earl Keen, South Austin Jug Band, and MilkDrive, Brian has emerged with his brilliant, debut solo album, New Geography which he recorded and performed on his own during 2020 with mixing help from Joe Humel, is available now wherever you stream or download music. Go to brianbeken.com for all of your Brian Beken needs. We have a great conversation about getting started on violin at age 8 then quickly switching to fiddle, playing in bands as a kid, touring the U.S. and Europe with The South Austin Jug Band, making 4 albums with prog-bluegrass band, MilkDrive, his 8 years playing with Robert Earl Keen and much more. I had a great time getting to know Brian. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
