Oakland streets to Rwandan hills, Ian Brennan's musical storytelling spans globe - 48 hills
Briefly

"When I do book events, I prefer to interview the person and talk about music and their writing or music." This illustrates Brennan’s focus on fostering dialogue rather than seeking attention.
Brennan began by hosting a free, mostly acoustic music show at SF's BrainWash laundromat, featuring local bands and resulting in three aptly titled Unscrubbed compilations.
Since 2010, the SF expat, who relocated to Italy after losing his Potrero Hill apartment, has gone global, spotlighting the work of underrepresented artists in peripheral nations.
His work on Tuareg-Berber band Tinariwen's earned the producer the 2011 Grammy for Best World Music Album, highlighting his dedication to global music.
