On this episode of MN Reads, KUMD’s Chris Harwood talks with musician, songwriter, and producer BrownMark about his memoir, My Life in the Purple Kingdom, published 2020 by University of Minnesota Press. Within a couple months in the summer of 1981, he went from being Mark Brown, a nineteen year-old 7-Eleven employee struggling to broaden the sound of his Twin Cities band Fantasy, to becoming BrownMark, playing bass with Prince and The Revolution in Los Angeles as the opening act for the Rolling Stones.
