In NorAZ, there are two poles of influence, the county seat of Coconino county, Flagstaff and the county seat of Yavapai county, Prescott.

One leans more towards Prescott Valley with its development-based culture, the other towards Sedona and its quality of life comes first culture.

JT Tannous, former director of Prescott's Smoki Museum and current executive director of Flagstaff Cultural Partners, is in a place to compare the two.

In this episode, JT details the initial approach to Flagstaff's new Bluegrass Festival, the difference between the Coconino Center for the Arts and Quad Cities venues and, of course, the dangers of watching Henry Rollins perform with a woman you are trying to impress.
