  • Philly music legend Kenn Kweder, live from The Pen & Pencil

    Singer-songwriter/raconteur Kenn Kweder has been playing Philly clubs since the early 1970s — often to the tune of 300 gigs a year. On this special epsiode, join us live from The Pen & Pencil Club as we grill Kweder about his slice of musical history, that time he and some buddies wheatpasted the city with 10,000 posters, and how he's lived to tell the tale.

    (By the way, if you want to check out the Pen & Pencil *and* Kweder, he's playing there at happy hour on September 7th. Pop by - tell 'em Philebrity sent ya.)
