The Sit-Down Podcast with James Hurt-Episode 8-Kebbi Williams

The Sit-Down Podcast welcomes Grammy-Award winning saxophonist, community arts advocate, and founder of Gallery 992 located in Atlanta Georgia. James and Kebbi explore community as the springboard to how an economically-challenged area was faced with the challenges of cultural-deserting and what he did to solve the problem by offering a solution. In addition Kebbi reflects on how he continues to become the artist that he wants to be as a shining example of how future generations can also gain access to the creative endeavors through stories of how some of his earliest influences were and the musical situations that shaped him. Background music provided by James Hurt.
