The Big Ears Festival might possibly be the most adventurous and civilized festival in the country. Taking place at several venues across Knoxville, Tennessee March 27-30, it brings together artists on the cutting edges of music including Laurie Anderson, Nels Cline, Bill Frisell and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. We talk to Big Ears founder Ashley Capps, who also produces Bonnaroo, and this year’s festival curator, David Harrington from the Kronos Quartet.
