I listen to alternative country. I like the harder rockers, but not exclusively. I also like some of the folkier artists.

Hack and I are seeing Christian McBride and Inside Straight on Thursday night

He is quite awesome, a jazz legacy. And a well played stand up bass makes me swoon.

We saw him at Tanglewood this summer when he opened for Wynton Marsalis, which was wonderful. His drummer Ulysses Owen and pianist Christian Sands are also exceptional.

I'm excited to see him at the Iron Horse Music Hall, one of my favorite venues because it is so intimate (less than 200 seats, kind of an old boho cafe/irish pub style hall), the space is a bit of a legend in its own right.

I'm not a huge fan of modern country, Althought Taylor swift Miranda lambert, and a few others I do enjoy. I like honky tonk too Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb, Hank Senior, Patsy Cline. Not so much the bluegrass genre.

I defiantly enjoy jazz and blues, especially on snowy chilly Minnesota weekends or on a gloomy overcast rainy day, that is when blues and jazz are greatly appreciated by my ears.

DBR ::: One of the most innovative and talented composers and musicians in the world today - he seems to effortlessly create music that sits at the intersection of classical, hip-hop and electronic genres. He's really quite brilliant: artistically and intellectually.

I had the opportunity to see him perform with the Lark Quartet at Merkin Hall in New York a few years ago. I'm still in awe. And I'd leap at the chance to see him again, anytime, anywhere, any genre.

Can't do the bluegrass thing. I am slowly starting to open up to contemporary country music, but not that quickly. I used to take road trips with my brother who listened to only country music and it drove me insane. I'm talking about the kind of country songs that included running away with the horse and such. Bleh. I think it scarred me. But I do like Dolly Parton, Crystal Gayle, yadda yadda....

I grew up surrounded by R&B, soul, funk, disco, blues, jazz and rap. I am not a huge fan of rap either. There are very few rappers I can listen to. R&B and soul however, hold dear to my heart. I'm still crying over Teena Marie. That was a huge loss. She should have been bigger than she was, but in my life, she was larger than life.

Etta James (another huge loss) , Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone... love them. Love that era of music.

Opera - can only really handle Italian operas. Not a big fan of German operas. Classical is a different story - I enjoy most, if not all.

Then of course there is heavy metal and alternative. Metallica, AC/DC, Godsmack, Evanescense, Seether, Florence and the Machine, Alice in Chains, NIN, etc etc...

I have an external drive that holds about 10,000 songs and counting. Music from 1930's to present and I am still not done.

Music has always played an important role in my life. Just about every thought I have has a song queue attached to it.
