Here's another favorite episode from our archives! Art you Crazy? is joined by special guest, Akpanoluo Etteh, founder of Soundshop in Brooklyn, NY. Since 2017, Soundshop has been a monthly musical salon that dissolves boundaries between musicians and music-lovers from all walks of life. Akpanoluo shares how his passion for sparking conversations around music and connecting musicians for mentorship led to the creation of this robust and engaged community, as well as landed him his own dream job! Plus, Tessie and Erin share their personal theme songs for the day, and we all three close out the episode with a very special improvised "circle singing" rendition.
