SUMMARY:Folk All Y'all presents Grace Pettis
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $20+\n\nPurchase tickets here\n \nGrace epitomizes the term singer/songwriter. As a singer\, her voice is both powerful and beautiful\, and she uses it like a fine arts painter to color and craft her songs. American Songwriter Magazine wrote “As a decorated songwriter\, Pettis blurs the lines between country\, Americana and folk. Her soulful delivery of calculated lyric lines helps her tell stories for all generations.” Her songs have been recorded by many esteemed artists\, including Sara Hickman and Ruthie Foster. For Grace\, who has been characterized as “a little bit folk\, a little bit country/Americana\, and a whole lot of soul\,” 2020 had many silver linings. She signed with MPress Records\, released three critically acclaimed singles — “Landon\,” “White Noise\,” and “Drop Another Pin\,” — and recorded Working Woman in Nashville employing an all-female/non-binary creative team.\n\n \n\nMinimum ticket price is $20 but you can name-your-own price above that if you’re feeling it. 100% of ticket revenue goes to our artists (you can see where any fees go in the check-out breakdown). Yep\, all of it. Folk All Yall is volunteer-run and subscriber-supported. Shows are presented in partnership with Crosstown Arts at The Green Room in Crosstown Concourse. \nAbout Folk All Y’all: Intimate\, attentive performances by exceptional singer-songwriters\, proudly presented in Memphis\, Folk All Y’all is a public listening room series dedicated to providing artists and audiences with unforgettable music experiences. \n\n

SUMMARY:Mike Moreno with The Ted Ludwig Trio
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $20 advance | $25 at the door ($10 student tickets available at the door) \nPurchase tickets here \nOriginally from Houston\, Texas\, Mike began studying music formally at the Houston High School for the Performing and Visual Arts\, a school renowned for its musical alumni\, which includes such luminaries as Jason Moran\, Robert Glasper\, Brian Michael Cox\, Eric Harland\, Chris Dave\, Kendrick Scott\, and Beyoncé. \nAfter graduating\, Mike moved to New York City with a scholarship to attend the New School University. While still in school he began garnering the recognition necessary to be called to perform and tour with some of the most venerable names in the Jazz world as well as rising stars of the scene. \nOver the years\, they have included The Joshua Redman Elastic Band\, Lizz Wright Band\, Nicholas Payton Quartet\, Stefon Harris Sonic Creed\, Me’Shell N’Degeocello\, Jason Moran\, Terence Blanchard\, Robert Glasper\, Ambrose Akinmusire\, Gretchen Parlato\, Aaron Parks\, Claudia Acuña\, Greg Osby 4\, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Jeremy Pelt\, John Ellis\, Myron Walden\, Kenny Garret\, Yosvany Terry\, Ralph Bowen\, Will Vinson and more. \nAdditionally\, Mike has recorded with numerous major artists\, both inside and outside of the Jazz genre. 3 of these recordings were nominated for a Grammy. In 2010 both Q-Tip’s “The Renaissance” and Geoffrey Keezzer’s “Aurea” were nominated for Best Album in their categories\, as well in 2008 Eldar’s “Re-Imagination” received the same nomination in the Jazz Category. Moreno’s discography also includes artists such as Bilal\, Jeremy Pelt\, Robert Glasper\, John Ellis\, Aaron Parks\, Jimmy Greene\, Myron Walden\, Sam Yahel\, Ralph Bowen\, Marcus Strickland\, Yosvany Terry\, Kendrick Scott Oracle\, Will Vinson\, and Bob Reynolds. \nRecognized as one of the leading voices in the Jazz guitar world\, Mike has toured extensively and recorded as a leader of his own band\, playing his original music to high critical acclaim. As Nate Chinen describes in his 2007 The Gig article in JazzTimes\, “There are many other guitarists out there pushing towards a modern ideal\, but none with the precise coordinates that Mike Moreno has charted.” \nIn 2007\, Mike released his debut CD Between The Lines on the World Culture Music label\, which Nate Chinen deemed in The New York Times as one of his top 10 Jazz albums of 2007. He recorded his second and third albums\, Third Wish 2008 and First In Mind 2011\, for European Jazz label Criss-Cross Records. He returned to World Culture Music for the release of Another Way 2012 which made the 25 “Best of 2012” Jazz Releases on itunes. And his most recent album Lotus has just been released.

SUMMARY:Fula Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $20 advance | $25 at the door \nPurchase tickets here \nFula Brothers are a burst of unbridled creative musicianship and happy making. A high spirited meeting of veteran performers from West Africa and America\, each with a history of innovation and collaboration with some of the beloved musicians of these cultures. Together they weave West African hunter’s harp\, fingerstyle guitar\, drums\, vocals\, and a bounty of improvisation into an ecstatic groove based dialogue which the heart – and the feet – cannot resist. \nMamadou Sidibe \nMaster kamale ngoni player\, Mamadou Sidibe\, is from the Wassoulou Region of Mali\, West Africa. Twenty-five years ago\, Mamadou played a groundbreaking role in the transformation of this region’s music from its origins in hunters’ sacred melodies – played on six string donso ngoni (hunter’s harps) – to a music of philosophical observations\, politics\, and daily life. Mamadou was one of the first to expand the instrument’s range with two extra strings\, creating the popular kamale ngoni. He has recently enhanced the kamale ngoni even further by devising 10 and 12-stringed instruments. \n​Mamadou\, with artists Coumba Sidibe\, Oumou Sangare and Ramata Diakite\, spread the new sounds through recordings and performances in Europe\, Africa and the United States. Not only is Mamadou an award-winning musician and master of the kamale ngoni\, he is accomplished on several other African instruments as well. \n​“At the center of his music is the same sensibility that you’ll find in Muddy Waters: a sense of music as a tool for the re-creation of everyday life into something special\, even magical.” ~ Stylus \nWalter Strauss \nFingerstyle guitarist Walter Strauss’s multi-layered style draws on American roots\, jazz\, classical\, and cultural guitar traditions – but what makes his playing utterly unique is how it is informed by other global stringed instruments. He has delved deep into the harp traditions of West Africa\, integrating elements of their richly layered styles and rhythmic sensibilities with his own\, and rendering traditional pieces on the guitar. Walter has collaborated with revered practitioners of the kora (the 21-stringed West African harp) and with early kamale ngoni (hunter’s harp) innovator Mamadou Sidibe. Malian kora legend Toumani Diabate calls Walter’s guitar rendering of the music of the kora “inspirational”\, and proposed Walter’s collaboration with his son\, Sidiki Diabate\, a West African star in his own right. \nIn addition to his solo CDs and performances across the US & UK\, Walter’s collaborations have spanned an impressive range of musicians\, from maverick multi-instrumentalist Joe Craven and Grammy-winning Malian kora player Mamadou Diabate to Scottish fiddler Johnny Hardie and Grammy-nominated guitar maestro Alex de Grassi. He has performed internationally at venues like the Kennedy Center\, the Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland\, and Le Diplomate in Bamako\, Mali. Recently\, he created music for the Ken Burns documentary film “Defying the Nazis.” \n​“A many-layered\, multi-textured\, one-man folk festival” ~ Maverick Magazine

SUMMARY:The Evergreen Sessions: Hosted by Brandon Blvd
DESCRIPTION:Brandon Blvd hosts The Evergreen Sessions in the Green Room\, emphasizing independent/underground artists locally and beyond. Featuring special guests Mai Ty\, Idaly Maceano\, Cadillac Jack\, and Virghost and the Saturday Sunset band. \n\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, September 23\, 2022\nDoors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30pm \nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBrandon Love Jackson (born April 5\, 1991)\, known professionally as Brandon Blvd\, is an American Hip-Hop artist from Memphis\, Tennessee. In 2020\, he released his most recent EP Safer at Home to the public which yielded support and allowed him to begin generating local recognition. \nAs a former Crosstown Arts resident artist\, Brandon was able to actively collaborate with artists from different walks\, backgrounds\, and practices. This inspired him to explore the creation of similar art spaces in collaboration with Crosstown Arts in order to continue the sharing of ideas\, vibes\, and perspectives through music. As an artist and Memphis native\, Brandon hopes that the Evergreen Sessions will allow such environments to take place for the foreseeable future. \nIn paying homage to Memphis’ Historic Evergreen district in mind\, the “Evergreen Sessions” seeks to serve as a quarterly showcase of musical talents from a wide scale of artists with various backgrounds\, and perspectives. This will be the first session of hopefully many more to come that sheds light and emphasizes independent/underground artists locally and beyond. Although there’s a focus on shining light on underground/independent Hip Hop & R&B artists\, the Evergreen Sessions seeks to create an all-inclusive space of collaboration for all musical creatives and genres.
