Marquee mama

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

From her beginnings as a KJHK DJ to her current status as one of the Midwest’s foremost concert promoters, Jacki Becker embodies the DIY ethos: work hard, make friends and have fun.

With a job description that runs the gamut from negotiating complex contracts to supplying Marilyn Manson with kitty litter, and a schedule that keeps her on the road for more than four months each year, Becker still finds time to bake carrot cakes for David Sedaris and cook midnight suppers for The Shins.

Street Level joins Becker on the Harbor Lights patio for a conversation about guns and music, the virtues of baked goods, and jerks like Weezer (Bonus: Rob Pope on Weezer).
