Crosstown Arts presents Memphis garage rockers Reigning Sound at Crosstown Theater. Founded by Memphis blues-punk legend Greg Cartwright -- a former member of the Oblivians, the Compulsive Gamblers, and '68 Comeback -- Reigning Sound fuse the hot-wired energy of garage rock with the deep emotional resonance of classic soul music in a manner that suggests a cross between the early Rolling Stones and the Sonics. |

Crosstown Arts is excited to kick off its post-pandemic return to the Crosstown Arthouse Film Series with a screening of the 1930 silent film Hell-Bound Train with musical accompaniment by Bible & Tire recording artist Elizabeth King. She'll be joined by Will Sexton (guitar), Matt Ross-Spang (guitar), and Will McCarley (percussion). Hell-Bound Train was shot by a pair of self-taught Christian evangelists, James and Eloyce Gist, on 16 mm film. The Gists toured Black churches to show the film, paired with a sermon. Elizabeth King is a Memphis-based gospel singer who, after leaving music for some time to raise a family, has returned at 77 years young to release the extremely well-reviewed, gospel masterpiece Living in the Last Days. Crosstown Arts is thrilled to pair this early example of Black filmmaking with the incomparable voice of Elizabeth King. |
