Arizona natives often hear people bemoan the “lack of community” in Arizona. It’s common lore that in the Valley and elsewhere in Arizona, people come and go so quickly our roots don’t go very deep. You might be under the impression that we lack the cohesive artistic, musical and literary ‘culture’ typical in big cities. Well, that’s a myth.
We’ve grown into a state that attracts the finest in national and international talent. But as newspapers, television and radio have morphed from locally owned entities into conglomerates, the arts get less and less coverage. And Arizona’s own rich cultural offerings in a multitude of genres get lost in the mix.
Music And More Arizona contributors are Arizona writers and artists. We know there’s more going on than meets the eye here. So when you really want to find out what’s going on in Arizona, this is the place. Music and More Arizona is here to uncover what’s at the heart of Arizona arts.
