Artist Feature: Stephen Malloy-Brackett

Stephen Malloy Brackett — aka Brer Rabbit — is a Denver-based artist, organizer, and educator who has spent twenty years asking what music can actually do.

He co-founded the platinum-selling Flobots, co-founded Youth on Record, and serves as Executive Director of both ONE Denver (the city’s Office of Nighttime Economy) and Foundation Music School in Fort Collins.

He is a former Colorado Statewide Music Ambassador, a PBS producer and presenter, an adjunct professor at CSU, and the creator of The House Party — a platform for rebuilding the ecosystems that make politically grounded artists possible. He has always lived in Denver. That is not incidental.

In the film, Stephen puts it simply: the hardest part about space travel is getting into space. This award is that moment — the boost that means he’s already there, and now it’s about where he can go next.
