Grace Askew at The Green Room

08/30/19
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm


Crosstown Arts, The Green Room
1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280
Memphis, TN 38104 United States

Join us at The Green Room for a performance by Memphis musician Grace Askew, celebrating her first full-length album release in five years.

The 12-song culmination of writing and performing a new song every day for over 500 days straight, Denim & Diesel is a raw and vulnerable collection of stories about the struggles of daily life. The album was self-produced and recorded at Grace’s home — a.k.a “Tumbleweed Ranch,” a creaky, old, tin-roofed ranch house on 100 acres in Eads, TN, and features two co-writes with Mike Doughty (of ’90s cult band “Soul Coughing).

Jana Jana, one of Memphis’ hottest, new female-led bands, is fronted by Jana Misener (founding member of Memphis Dawls and Giant Bear). With live cello loops and soaring vocals, Jana Jana’s soul-inspired indie rock is an orchestrated tempest.

$25 presale | $30 night of show
Doors at 6:30 pm | show at 7 pm
