Craig Havighurst is a writer and broadcaster based in Nashville. His new book, Musicality For Humans: How To Listen Like An Artist, is out now via The Sager Group.

We discuss the book in this conversation as well as Havighurst’s own musical growth and what it’s like to engage more deeply with a lifelong love of music.
