Welcome to recordings from the 2017 Festival of Faith & Music. The biennial festival brings together musicians, critics, journalists, artists, and listeners for three days of concerts, lectures, and conversations that explore the intersection of music and spirituality. What follows is an interview with Ann Powers, a critic for NPR Music and the author of several books, including her recent Good Booty: Love and Sex, Black and White, Body and Soul in American Music. Here she discusses her path to becoming a music critic, and the politics and power of art. This interview was recorded on the campus of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan on March 30th, 2017.
