Creativity in the Capital

About Creativity in the Capital

For "Creativity in the Capital," we illuminate the artists who feed the creative soul of Sacramento. Our hosts — Casey Rafter and Helen Harlan — engage in one-on-one talks with artists to get at the heart of what makes them tick, and why the rest of us should care. "Creativity in the Capital" is a production of the Solving Sacramento (https://solvingsacramento.org/) journalism collaborative.

   The Crowd Goes Wild Thanks to Justin Nordan

   The self-described "Music executive guy" has been responsible for bringing some great talent to perform in Sacramento. Justin has also offered unique opportunities to so many local musicians to perform at festivals like Concerts in the Park, Sol Blume or Launch. Justin's passion for music puts talent on the stage and we chat about it all.
