B:E2 Phoenix, Arizona: The Rise of Concert Culture

The rise of concert culture in Phoenix has changed its identity from a layover town to a live music destination. In this episode, we’ll go inside the Crescent Ballroom and Live Exit Live with Lotus and the Dead Winter Carpenters to deep dive into the energetic triad between venue, musician and audience. Will Bruder, famed architect of Burton Barr Phoenix Central Library, will join us to offer insight into his connection to space and a wild story about fringed suede boots in the 60’s. And while 9 years have passed since these discussions, the the enchantment of music and venue is timeless…maybe everything hasn’t changed.
