SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk: Kirk Whalum with special guest Kandace Springs
DESCRIPTION:Kafé Kirk: Kirk Whalum with special guest Kandace Springs \nCrosstown Theater \nSunday\, December 14\, 2025 \nDoors open at 5:00 PM | Show starts at 6:00 PM \n$59 in advance (plus fees) | $70 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJoin Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, an ongoing jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This concert will feature jazz pianist and singer\, Kandace Springs\, and the opener will feature 2025 Essentially Ellington Champions\, Central High School Jazz Band. \nKandace Springs \nNashville may be the heart of country music\, but it also birthed jazz pianist and singer Kandace Springs\, whose soulful lyricism and raw talent have carried her from parking cars to performing at major venues worldwide. Raised by her father\, a backup singer for legends like Aretha Franklin\, Kandace’s musical journey began when she taught herself jazz and classical standards by ear\, later finding inspiration in artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Norah Jones. Despite working as a hotel parking attendant\, her breakthrough came after her father passed her demo to industry insiders\, leading to a partnership with hitmakers Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken. A pivotal audition with Don Was at Blue Note Records\, followed by Prince’s mentorship\, helped shape her unique sound. Her debut single\, “Love Got In The Way\,” landed her national TV appearances\, and her collaboration with Prince further solidified her place in the music world. Her 2016 album Soul Eyes earned worldwide acclaim\, and in the years following\, Kandace performed on prestigious stages\, including with Sting and Jack White. The pandemic led her to explore other passions like vintage car restoration\, but music soon called her back. In tribute to her late father\, she released Run Your Race\, her most personal work to date. Now\, Kandace is preparing for a new chapter with Lady in Satin\, a stunning homage to Billie Holiday\, recorded with a 60-piece orchestra—a project she describes as one of the most incredible musical experiences of her life.

SUMMARY:Above Jupiter: "Abscission" Record Release Show (+ opener The Narrows)
DESCRIPTION:Above Jupiter: “Abscission” Record Release Show (+ opener The Narrows)\nThe Green Room @ Crosstown Arts \nSaturday\, November 22\, 2025  \nDoors open at 7:00 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM  \n$12 in advance (plus fees) | $15 at the door  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nAbove Jupiter celebrate the release of their full-length album ‘Abscission’ along with Memphis indie rock favorites the Narrows. The new vinyl album will be hot off the press and available at the show. \nContemporary art rock band Above Jupiter is back with their second full-length album\, and first after signing with Red Curtain Records. Described by The Memphis Flyer as “a beat-driven soundscape with equal parts slashing guitar\, skronky synth\, and cool singing that lives in a kind of timeless pop utopia\,” ‘Abscission’ expands on the sound of their self-titled debut with elements of lofi\, R&B\, nu-jazz\, and progressive influences. The result is a more mature sound\, which says a lot about a band whose members are all still in high school. \n‘Abscission’ is a conceptual album that tells the story of main characters Eleanor\, McNeil\, Evergreen\, and Elise\, with each song offering a view into the Shakespearean-style tragedy that unfolds as the album progresses. A special edition of the lilac-colored vinyl LP includes a zine booklet that tells the story through lyrics\, paintings\, and prose. \nDeparting from their first LP’s home studio produced approach\, the band knew these songs would benefit from the analog warmth of a professional studio\, and they found the perfect home at Memphis Magnetic Recording Co. All songs were tracked live in the room using the studio’s collection of vintage instruments\, giving the album a timeless sound that complements the craftsmanship of Above Jupiter’s songs.

SUMMARY:Kathy Zhou and Aybil: "REVERIE"
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Zhou and Aybil: “REVERIE” \nThe Green Room @ Crosstown Arts \nFriday\, November 21st\, 2025 \nDoors open at 7:00 pm | Show Starts at 7:30 pm \n$15 in advance (plus fees) | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nKathy Zhou and Aybil cordially invite you to their evening reverie. Through spellbinding performances by candlelight\, Kathy and Aybil share a night of riveting tales\, heartfelt storytelling\, and community connection through song. Each musician will perform a stripped-down set of their songs\, interweaving the stories behind their music and how each composition came to be. Come join us for an unforgettable\, intimate evening full of close audience interactions interspersed with deep\, heartfelt music meant to unify\, spark dialogue\, and nurture connection. \nKathy Zhou is a genre-bending\, piano-powered\, singer-songwriter whose music incorporates traces of art pop\, baroque folk\, theatre\, and classical. Her work has been described as “mesmerizing\,” evoking the feeling of being on a stormy island\, in a colorful nightmare\, or in a dramatic storybook. Her live performances are vivid and magical\, like if Regina Spektor played in a coffee shop with a fantasy-cinematic twist. From her very first note\, Kathy conveys that something magical and wondrous is happening. Each song is like its own little dramatic play with compelling emotional arcs that sometimes fall into a dreamlike stream of consciousness. Audiences have repeatedly stated that “no one else sounds like her\,” as Kathy has carved a style that is uniquely her own. In 2023\, Kathy’s music video to her song\, “Strange Child\,” was in the international Indie Memphis Film Festival. Kathy’s upcoming work\, “A Vivid\, Magic\, Scene\,” is a collection of songs about processing the past and coming to terms with the present\, drawing upon nature/fantasy themes. \nAybil (pronounced Abel) is a Memphis born singer\, songwriter\, observer\, and peacemaker. Writing since an early age\, she works to express the beauty of joy\, sadness and the moments in the middle. Since making her debut in 2020 with the haunting\, introspective single “Jordan Poole”\, Aybil has continued to self-release genre-blending projects rooted in a love for storytelling. Her sound draws comparisons to the inspiring soulful stylings of Bill Withers and India Arie\, while maintaining a vision all her own. \nAudiences can expect an unforgettable night marked by emotionally stirring instrumentation\, raw vocals and authentic lyricism.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series Presents: The Urania Trilogy by Tav Falco in the Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:The Urania Trilogy by Tav Falco\, with an original live score by Alex Greene & the Rolling Head Orchestra \nThe Crosstown Theater @ Crosstown Arts \nThursday\, November 20th\, 2025 \nDoors open at 6:00 pm | Show Starts at 7:00 pm \n$20 in advance (plus fees) | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nAlex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra\, Memphis’ most adept practitioners of the cinematic live score\, join forces with the great Tav Falco to interpret his filmic troika\, The Urania Trilogy. Shot in Austria\, the semi-silent film was “made for those hungry to submerge themselves in Orphic mysteries…It explores myth\, memory\, and identity through dreamlike structures – evoking shifting realities where the past overtakes the present\, and the present overtakes the past\, while already hurling itself into the future.” \nGreene and RHO are well-versed in scoring silent classics\, from Aelita\, Queen of Mars to The Cameraman to Häxan\, all with Greene’s original cinematic jazz compositions. The orchestra features some of Memphis’ finest players of both straight ahead and out jazz\, and includes one of the region’s premier theremin players\, Kate Tayler. \nFalco is touring the world with The Urania Trilogy\, with screenings in New York\, London\, Madrid\, and beyond. Now he brings his vision back to where it all began\, in Memphis\, where his unapproachable Panther Burns were born nearly half a century ago. Always a compelling visual artist\, Falco has\, over recent years\, perfected this mysterious film that could have been made anytime between 1927 and tomorrow. Now\, teaming up with Greene\, an erstwhile Panther Burn himself\, the film combines Falco’s vision with the power of live music and Greene’s haunting compositions.

SUMMARY:Autumn Defense + opener Dream Journal
DESCRIPTION:Autumn Defense + opener Dream Journal \nThe Green Room @ Crosstown Arts \nFriday\, November 7\, 2025 \nDoors open at 7:00 pm | Show Starts at 7:30 pm \n$25 in advance (plus fees) | $30 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nAfter a ten-year break from the studio\, The Autumn Defense pick up right where they left off on their long-anticipated sixth album\, Here and Nowhere. Infusing the band’s breezy\, harmony-drenched take on Laurel Canyon with lush orchestration and psychedelic flourishes\, the collection is dreamy and impressionistic\, full of warm\, inviting tunes as beautiful as they are bittersweet. Like much of the group’s catalog\, it’s an album full of mystery and wonder\, a rich\, open-hearted work that nods to everything from Nick Drake and John Martyn to Carole King and David Crosby as it contemplates the passage of time\, reckoning with what we lose\, what we gain\, and who we become along the way. \nFounded by core duo John Stirratt and Pat Sansone—and now featuring longtime rhythm section James Haggerty and Greg Wieczorek—The Autumn Defense first took shape in New Orleans\, where the band recorded their 2001 debut\, The Green Hour. While the group has at times been pigeonholed as a Wilco side project (Stirratt is a founding member\, and Sansone joined around the release of 2004’s A Ghost Is Born)\, The Autumn Defense’s sound has always been decidedly more West Coast than alt-country\, drawing comparisons to The Beach Boys\, The Byrds\, and Love over the course of five critically acclaimed studio albums. NPR hailed the group’s “timeless pop songs\,” while Rolling Stone called their music “gorgeous” and “delightful\,” and the New York Times praised their delivery as “warm and radiant.” \nOpening the show is duo Dream Journal! \nDream Journal is a collaboration between Rachael Grant and her husband\, Robby (Vending Machine\, Mellotron Variations). He performs songs from his solo catalog and creates swirly loops while Rachael reads excerpts from their dream journals.

SUMMARY:Cypress Ensemble: "Beethoven and Foote"
DESCRIPTION:Cypress Ensemble: “Beethoven and Foote” \nThe Green Room @ Crosstown Arts \nTuesday\, October 28\, 2025 \nDoors open at 6:30 pm | Show Starts at 7:00 pm \n$18 in advance (plus fees) | $22 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThe Memphis-based Cypress Ensemble\, a group of close friends and dedicated musicians\, invites audiences to a compelling evening of chamber music that bridges the familiar and the forgotten. \nThe program features one of Beethoven’s beloved Opus 18 string quartets—works that have become cornerstones of the chamber music repertoire. Known for their youthful energy\, charm\, and emotional depth\, these quartets capture Beethoven at a moment of brilliant innovation. This particular quartet includes one of his most celebrated slow movements\, offering a moment of sublime beauty within a piece full of joy and wit. \nPaired with Beethoven’s classic is a true hidden gem: the Piano Quintet in A minor by Arthur Foote\, a name largely unfamiliar to modern audiences despite his historic importance. Foote was the first successful American-trained composer\, and in his time\, this quintet was hailed by critics as “as good as anything coming out of Europe right now.” His music is marked by lyrical\, easily followed melodies and a sense of adventurous exploration—hallmarks of early American classical expression. \nThis 70-minute concert offers a rare chance to hear Foote’s masterwork live\, alongside a Beethoven quartet that continues to resonate across centuries. It’s an evening designed to inspire discovery and celebrate the richness of the chamber music tradition. \nDon’t miss this unique musical experience with Cypress Ensemble.
