CBS 58’s Feel Good Fridays: Arts, sports and family fun
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Music has always been an important release for 34-year-old Brett Newski. As a touring musician, he's had national exposure with features in Rolling Stone and NPR and has played with the likes of the Pixies and Violent Femmes among others.
Now, the Milwaukee songwriter, artist, and podcaster is using his longtime struggles with anxiety as fuel to cultivate creativity with a new book.
On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Michael Schlesinger explored how Newski is making himself feel better and hopefully others too.
