FROM THE PUBLISHER
Steve Christian is the afternoon radio announcer for Star98 radio, and has lived in the Tallahassee area for some fifteen years. His radio career has led him into a variety of experiences: he has flown with the Blue Angels, had dinner with Celine Dion, been a guest on both Larry King’s talk show and MTV. He’s also hosted a wide variety of concerts and live events, rubbing elbows with the likes of Peter Jennings, Paul Harvey, Dr. Phil, Donny Osmond, the Beach Boys, Yogi Berra, Bill Clinton, and many others. His passion for travel has led him to visit friends in London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, and Ireland. Although his favorite place to visit is England, his most memorable time on the road was a January trek to the frozen tundra of Siberia. Steve also has a lifelong love of movies and regularly writes movie reviews for the news website EverythingTallahassee.com.
Steve Christian
Julie Hauserman is a longtimeFlorida writer who lives in Tallahassee. She has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize: in 1991 for her stories about pollution in Florida’s Fenholloway River, and in 2001 for her stories about arsenic leaking out of pressure-treated lumber all over America. She won the Scripps Howard National Journalism Awards’ top environmental prize for her work on the arsenic stories. Hauserman was a Capitol bureau reporter for the St.
Petersburg Times in Tallahassee for seven years and has been a
commentator for Florida Public Radio’s Capitol Report, National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition-Sunday, and Minnesota Public Radio’s The Splendid Table. Her essays are featured in several Florida anthologies, including The Wild Heart of Florida, The Book of the Everglades, and Between Two Rivers.

n this leafy green place we call home, music wafts into
the fat oak branches. Paint fumes curl out of studio
windows. If you are quiet, you can hear people singing,
and the rhythmic pounding of dancing feet.
Tallahassee doesn’t have the reputation of being an artsy
town, but it is. Everybody knows this town is chock full
of politicians, lobbyists and bureaucrats. Less evident at
first glance is the other Tallahassee: a place crawling with
musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, photographers,
choreographers, filmmakers, actors, and writers.
You might go to a coffee shop and find yourself sitting
two tables down from a Pulitzer Prize winner or the woman
who wrote the guest column you read last week in
The New
York Times
. You might hear someone order at a drive through
window and recognize the voice as one you’ve heard on
National Public Radio.
The man picked in a nationwide search to write the
latest sequel to
The Godfather
, Mark Winegardner, lives in
Tallahassee. So does the icon of the 1970s funk movement,
George Clinton, founder of Parliament Funkadelic. He tours
all over the world, but he lives and creates here.
You might stop in to see a jazz saxophone player from
one of the universities play for free, and the next summer
you’ll notice he’s touring with the Count Basie Orchestra.
Soul singer Patti LaBelle came here for a concert, asked for
a volunteer to come up and sing on stage, and left with a
new backup singer from Tallahassee.
You might catch the great American jazz pianist, Marcus
Roberts, playing in Tallahassee the night before he plays in
Carnegie Hall. Roberts studied music at Florida State in the
1980s before he joined up with New Orleans jazz master
Wynton Marsalis. Roberts lives here now. He’s teaching at
Florida State.
It is hard to say what draws artists to such an
out-of-the way small city. The universities are out-of-the initial magnet.
But something else keeps artists coming back here. Even
after they’ve left for the big cities,
they often come back. We even
have a name for it: The Tallahassee
Boomerang.
It is possible to live here
and never witness the
arts scene at all. Football
tailgaters and political
fundraisers can more than
occupy the average attention
span. Some people only see
Tallahassee as a historical
footnote: the place where
America couldn’t pick its
president.
The secret is that good art and
culture is here in force for those
willing to make the effort. It’s still

cheap and there’s always plenty of
parking.
I’m thinking about the astounding
diversity of arts here: Ladysmith Black
Mambazo, the South
African band, giving a
concert in an old A&P
that’s been converted into
The Moon nightclub. The
Wu-Tang Clan rap group
playing to a
standing-room only crowd in a
battered-looking club
by the railroad tracks. A
Balinese gamelan concert
at FSU. The Urban Bush Women
dancers, an innovative troupe fresh
from New York, who came to settle
for a while in Tallahassee. Chinese
percussionists. Russian Cossack
dancers. Scottish Highland games.
Whirling Dervishes, Tibetan Monks,
Japanese psychedelic rock. African
dancers. Caribbean Carnival. The
Halloween Howl in the cypress
swamp. Homegrown short films.
The Tallahassee S ymphony
Orchestra. Traveling Broadway
shows. Experimental theatre. Dozens
of recitals by emerging classical
masters. Opera. The sweet sound
of the Boys’ Choir of Tallahassee.
Hundreds of rocking shows by
fabulous homegrown bands who stay
here because…. because why?
I think creative people stay in
Tallahassee because it is a friendly
arts scene. It’s not competitive. We
want one another to succeed: You
can see it when artists visit one
another’s studios at the First Friday
gallery art hop. Or at the literary
readings at 621 Gallery and the
Warehouse. Or at recitals at Florida
State and FAMU. On sweltering
summer nights, people pack a metal
warehouse in an old railroad yard to
watch the homegrown and wickedly
bawdy satire of the Mickee Faust
Club while fanning themselves with
folded-up programs.
These are audiences willing to
make the effort, to ferret out the
happenings, just to experience art
and culture. Maybe it is that goodwill
that makes us want to create here. Or
maybe the summer heat makes us too
lazy to go anywhere else.
In any case, the city’s richer for it. I
can guarantee you that there is more
to do here than you can possibly fit
into your schedule. For any city, that’s
a good thing.

While in Tallahassee, discover the artist
or performer in yourself. Learn to paint,
sculpt, bead, carve, or quilt. Tango the
night away – bring your own partner,
or meet someone new. Want to make
music? Here’s your chance to play in
the string section or sing with the
tenors. You’d rather work backstage or
write the script? There’s something for
you in here, too.
