Kevin Erickson 
Kevin Erickson is a writer, musician, recording engineer, and activist. While studying religion and cultural politics at Whitman College in tiny Walla Walla, Washington, Erickson discovered the Pacific Northwest's vibrant underground music scene and fell stupidly in love with the radical potential of incubating networks of DIY cultural resistance in small communities. Today, he is part of a team of artists, musicians, and friends running a unique arts infrastructure called the Department of Safety. The facility is housed in Anacortes, Washington's old fire & police station and contains an all-ages music venue, gallery, recording facilities, art studios, and zine library.
