Craig Havighurst's new book Musicality for Modern Humans: How to Listen Like an Artist aims to talk about music theory in a non-theoretical way — to get at how and why music affects us, and to help foster a deeper appreciation for its many forms. That includes experimental, instrumental and orchestral works, which move beyond the familiar verses and choruses that make up the vast majority of streamed music.

As a journalist, Craig has written extensively about music, and as editorial director for WMOT Roots Radio 89.5 FM, he hosts the a weekly show on culture and American music. He was also senior producer and co-host of Music City Roots from 2009-2018.
