LOCAL Q&A: Ann Powers, music critic
This week, meet Ann Powers, a nationally known music critic living right here in the Druid City for the past five years. Although she and her family have mostly lived in metropoli such as New York, Los Angeles and Seattle, they’ve found much to love about their new home.
Q: Who are you and what do you do?
A: I’m Ann Powers. I’m the critic and correspondent for NPR Music. I write about all kinds of popular music, from Top 40 stuff to indie rock to Americana and country to R&B, hip-hop and, occasionally, jazz. I have even written about opera a few times.
I’ve been a music critic since I was a teenager, and I’m 50 now. Since I was a tiny kid I loved music and writing pretty much equally, so the combination has worked well for me. I started at my high school newspaper, graduated to college and then alternative weeklies, and then moved to New York and worked for the Village Voice and the New York Times. I was the chief pop critic for the Los Angeles Times for several years, and I’ve also been a museum curator, at Experience Music Project in Seattle. Somewhere in there I got a master’s degree in American Literature from the University of
California-Berkeley, too.
