In 1985 Ken Medema launched Brier Patch Music, a small independent
recording, publishing, and performance-booking company named after
Brer Rabbit's home in the legendary Uncle Remus stories.
"Brer Rabbit lived in a place not comfortable for anyone else,"
Medema says, "and we have decided to follow him there."
Though blind from birth, Ken has demonstrated his extraordinary
musical vision to a growing number of loyal fans across the nation
and around the world. Invariably, his audiences reward Ken's final
encore with enthusiastic applause and standing ovations.

stories from people or themes from events or speeches and sings the
