A bit ago I caught up with my friend Keith Brake. Before recording this I had really only admired Keith's work on the internet. I've seen him work at many shows but never had the chance to have a conversation. We recorded this episode at his KBP Studios space in Du Quoin, IL. Keith shared some stories of starting out in bands when he was younger and his love of music, how he got his first camera, snapping pictures of Ozzy Osbourne during an eclipse and much more!
