my beloved hometown, and college town of 2pz founders keekerz and joel, knoxville, tn, aka k-town, aka scruffy city, aka knox vegas, is headlining the nytimes arts homepage right now. big ears festival (b.ears festival, for short) just ended and they had some things to say about it.
What all this adds up to is that Big Ears seems to be a festival about the experience of listening, full stop, rather than listening to genre X or tradition Y. It gives concertgoers — in comfortable theaters, in a comfortable town without a lot of other distractions — as much power as a composer or performer in determining what music means, gambling that those concertgoers might over time grow a culture around that feeling.
