Erik Keith Brann, aka Erik Braunn and Erik Braun, was a guitarist for the 1960s band Iron Butterfly.
He is featured on the band's greatest hit, the legendary 17-minute complete Side A title In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida from 1968, which was recorded when he was just 17.
Erik died of a heart attack in 2003. This followed an ongoing struggle with complications from a birth defect that Braunn had battled for years.
