About this episode

Ari discusses his passion project Brassroots District and its evolution into a theatrical production in LA.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari hops on for a solo episode to talk about Brassroots District —a decade-long passion project fusing immersive theater, hard-grooving funk, and 1970s world-building. He shares how the project grew from DIY LA shows into a scripted parking-lot production during COVID, and how it’s finally taking over a premier LA venue. If you're in LA, come catch Brassroots District LA ’74 , opening February 7th at Catch One in Koreatown. Check out the trailer and grab your tickets here . Hosted on Acast.
