Maserati E plays music to cope with his brother’s death

Eric "Maserati E" Abercrombie plays at an open mic at San Quentin Prison.

From San Quentin Radio:
 
Eric "Maserati E" Abercrombie is a 25-year-old guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He's been in prison for eight years. In August, he’s due to get out.

"I don't have to necessarily have to say a word, but once I play the guitar, play the piano, anything like that, it's like I'm letting it all out."

KALW's radio training program at San Quentin State Prison is supported by the California Arts Council, with funding from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The producers fact-check content to the best of their ability. All content is approved by a prison information officer.
