So who the hell is Gannon Hanevold?

That’s me. I’m Gannon, a writer and reporter whose byline has been seen in the Phoenix New Times, The Alternative, the Minnesota Star Tribune and more.

For a year, I was an entertainment reporter at the Quad-City Times, where I wrote a weekly music column called Sounds Good. In it, I recommended music and reminisced on the memories that made each song and album sound even better. Sounds Good received feedback from readers like:

“Entertaining, endearing and chock full of music.”

“I’m 79 and he has me reading about T-Pain.”

“I wish you could find enough news to fill the paper so you’d have no room for the pointless meanderings of Gannon Hanevold.”

This newsletter is the shadow of Sounds Good. It’s a work in progress. Someday, it might even have a new name. Who knows? Can you smell the dust on the walls?

The good news: Sounds Great is free. But feel free to support my writing or buy me a monthly coffee by subscribing through the link below. I appreciate you reading.

Thank you.
