Ep 311: A Conversation with Chris Wrenn (Bridge Nine Records, Sully’s Brand, Fenway Punk)
About this episode
Chris Wrenn discusses his journey with Bridge Nine Records, Sully’s Brand, and his new book Fenway Punk.
In episode 311 of the podcast, we’re joined by Chris Wrenn - founder and owner of Bridge Nine Records and Sully’s Brand, and author of the new book Fenway Punk: How a Boston Indie Label Scored Big on Baseball’s Greatest Rivalry. We last had Chris on in Summer 2023, and a lot has happened since. We kick things off by catching up — from recent shows at the Bridge Nine Beverly, MA store to what’s new in the B9 world. We then dig into Fenway Punk, which chronicles Chris’ story about how Boston's hardcore punks profited off the rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees in the seasons leading up to the 2004 World Series. He tells us the behind the scenes on starting Sully’s Brand Tees, and how he was able to parlay that success into releasing independent music for the coming 2+ decades. It’s truly an amazing tale! Chris continues to be one of our favorite people to talk to. If you care about independent music, Boston sports lore, or entrepreneurship, — this one’s for you. You can purchase the book here .
