Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by Marc Ribot. Rolling Stone points out that “guitarist Marc Ribot helped Tom Waits refine a new, weird Americana on 1985's Rain Dogs, and since then he's become the go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp.” Additional recording credits include Neko Case, Diana Krall, Elton John/Leon Russell’s The Union, Solomon Burke, John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards, Marianne Faithful, Joe Henry, Allen Toussaint, Medeski Martin & Wood, Caetono Veloso, Susana Baca, Allen Ginsburg, Madeleine Peyroux, Nora Jones, Jolie Holland, Akiko Yano, The Black Keys, and many others

Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by guitarist Julian Lage and drummer Dave King. Hailed as one of the most prodigious guitarists of his generation, Julian Lage has spent more than a decade searching through the myriad strains of American musical history via impeccable technique, free association, and a spirit of infinite possibility.

Love Hurts , which marks his first album to feature drummer Dave King (The Bad Plus), sees the GRAMMY-nominated guitarist exploring the American song catalog from a truly unique vantage point, performing music written by a range of audacious and original artists, from Roy Orbison to Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Giuffre to Peter Ivers.

Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by pop/R&B singer-songwriter Marco Alexander.

Marco Alexander is an American pop/R&B singer-songwriter and all-around artist. Born in Memphis, TN, Marco began his study of music at a young age. Marco grew up watching his mother lead the church choir (while sitting next to the organ player so he wouldn’t get into trouble).

Growing up in a musical family granted Marco the opportunity to travel and study sounds that were unfamiliar to him, whether it was the sound of beating on pots and pans or listening to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. A versatile musician, Marco has performed with the National Festival Symphony at Carnegie Hall and in musical theater productions, such as Thoroughly Modern Millie, Aida, and Dreamgirls.
