Tabitha Clancy sometimes obsesses over one song and sometimes she obsesses over a band (she listened only to Pearl Jam for about a two year stint). Sometimes it’s a lyric, or a simple measure of musical content that will grab her. She will hear the music before the words find a way. She will never say, "I love all kinds of music." Sometimes it takes Tabitha time to warm up to a song, or a band, and sometimes that magic just isn't there. People who are walking encyclopedias for anything music related fascinate her, though she has a good grip of her own on music history. She often travels the country, following her favorite band, Railroad Earth. She’ll let loose at a festival yet still manages to find a balance between fun and business; often times she brings that festival spirit into the station with her.
