From the outside, Jeff Hulett might seem like a late-blooming guitarist and songwriter. But if you ask any of his fellow musicians they’ll tell you he was writing songs and playing music long before he put pen to paper or strummed a chord.

From his work with Me & Leah to Snowglobe, from solo shows and soundtrack work to the Hand Me Down’s, Jeff Hulett is a Memphis music mainstay, with a talent for warm and honest songwriting.

To celebrate the release of his new record Nowhere in Between, John Bass brings an amazing lineup of talented Memphis musicians and friends who the guitarist has worked with over the past 20 years. 

Flamenco Memphis celebrates its one-year anniversary with an evening of flamenco music, singing, and dance!
The performance, presented in a “tablao” style, will bring the audiences a diverse repertoire that includes traditional and original flamenco compositions.

Flamenco Memphis will bring an evening of art aiming to inspire and captivate audiences with this unique blend of history, sounds, and movement that is flamenco. New works include “Alegrias,” “Soleá por Bulerias,” and “Seguiriyas.”

The group brings the Often and Rarely played: Beethoven and Fibich to The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. The Cypress Ensemble, a group of classically-trained Memphis musicians, is a collaboration of friends who love playing chamber music. The ensemble is currently on a mission to play the Beethoven Opus 18 Quartets and also chamber music treasures that Memphis audiences rarely hear in live performance.

David was the first artist Folk All Y’all reached out to host, way back in 2014. After that first (more-than-)sold-out show, David’s come back and played seven more. We’re thrilled to welcome David Wilcox back to The Green Room at Crosstown Arts, a space that has inspired him for years.

Cyrena Wages fell in love with music on the country backroads between Millington and Shelby Forest, two small towns just north of Memphis. Her upcoming debut album, Vanity Project, is both an exercise in rebellion against years of conditioning, as well as a way of processing her own struggles, healing, and growth. As much as Memphis shaped her positively, there were aspects of growing up as a woman in the South that didn’t align with who she wanted to become. Cyrena tapped producer Matt Ross-Spang (Charley Crockett, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Margo Price) to helm Vanity Project at Southern Grooves Studio in Memphis.

Steve Masakowski is an award-winning jazz guitarist, educator, and inventor. He invented the guitar-based keytar and the switch pick, and has designed three custom-built seven-string guitars. He developed an approach to playing the guitar by using his pick design, allowing him to switch from fingerpicking to flatpicking.

Elizabeth King, the Sacred Soul Queen of Memphis, will release her new album Soul Provider with this special record release concert at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. A special performance by the Jubilee Hummingbirds will open up the evening.
