Influential guitarist, proto-punk icon, Motor City legend and humanitarian. Subversive, addict, agitator and revolutionary. Since co-founding the legendary MC5 in the late 1960's, Wayne Kramer has been called many things. Since his stay in a federal correctional facility in the mid-1970's, he has changed many lives. As a 66-year-old musician, now based in Los Angeles, Wayne's music appears in films and on television, and in partnership with his wife Margaret Saadi Kramer, he runs his own Jail Guitar Doors foundation providing instruments, workshops and concerts to prisons across America. Many of these diverse threads are pulled together in Wayne Kramer's new album Lexington, which looks back to the place and time in which he was incarcerated.
