Just like the episode title says, Brian Witkin is indeed a music industry swiss army knife. He's the CEO of the San Diego based Pacific Records label, leader of award winning Hawaiian music band Slack Key ’Ohana, a record producer, an entertainment and music attorney, an Ovation endorsed guitarist, and a columnist. He's also one of the friendliest guys you could ever meet. His boundless energy and enthusiasm permeates everything he's involved in. The music he makes with Slack Key ’Ohana is a wonderful mix of Hawaiian slack key and mainland Americana that goes down as easy as a Mai Tai. Enjoy this fun and lively discussion with Brian Witkin.
