Q: Who IS that? A: KPT, a musician who comes from the north in a Chevy truck
Name: KPT (prounounced "kept")
Twitter: @kptfrsh
Website: facebook.com/kptfrsh
What's your job?
"Musicia...wait, I'm supposed to work?"
Other than your job, what are your claims to fame?
"Owned/operated an indie label for roughly nine years, signed a contract with David Lynch, and my family grew up quite literally next door to the Purple One."
Where are you most likely to be seen?
"Lately, the Depot and First Ave—still my favorite venue—or the Spring Street Tavern and Club Underground. Shout to the Spring Street Burger and the fantastic staff. Notice the burger gets first mention."
Where are you least likely to be seen?
"Grocery stores. Seriously. Avoid them like the plague. I'd get take-out every night if it was possible. I'd also get very fat."
With whom are you most likely to be seen?
"My family. Or any given number of undesirables."
Where were you born?
"Minneapolis. Southside!"
What neighborhood do you live in now?
"I've moved north roughly 20 minutes, but visit whenever possible. I can't stay away."
What's your ride?
"Chevy truck, but I'm looking to downsize and/or get a bike. Hard to find something that fits my 6'3" frame, though."
What's the best way for someone to start a conversation with you?
"Previously mentioned social media or email, I suppose. I'm more likely to answer that than an actual phone call or voicemail. People think I'm anti-social. Not true."
