“Punkhouse in the Deep South” Book Tour Visits Sentient Bean

Using student interviews collected before the pandemic, "A Punkhouse in the Deep South: The Oral History of 309" (University Press of Florida) describes the lives of a Pensacola punk rock community living in one of the country’s oldest punkhouses. Cometbus and Satterwhite’s presentation offers a glimpse into the house’s origins and the punks that made the house a home, all the while creating everything from music to art, and even a few businesses. Aaron Cometbus has been publishing the zine Cometbus since 1981. Scott Satterwhite is a journalist, writer, and educator who teaches at the University of West Florida.
