SUMMARY:Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, June 21\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDead Soldiers is an eight-piece band from Memphis\, Tennessee\, whose eclectic compositions feature a rock’n’roll core that lifts five-part vocal harmonies\, horns and strings to create a wall of sound. Building on the musical traditions of the Delta and the melting pot aesthetic that first made Memphis the home of rock and roll\, their music is at once irreverent and uniquely American. While firmly rooted in the modern urban South\, they draw heavily from the inspiration of a range of artists: Tom Waits to The Band\, John Prine and Bob Dylan to Frank Zappa and Randy Newman. Like Dead Soldiers\, they’re all artists who refuse to be easily classified. With humor\, cynicism and an underlying foundation of humanity\, Dead Soldiers’ songs root for the underdog while skewering the hypocrisy of the post-modern media landscape. \n\nOn the heels of their first new music release since 2017 — Dead Soldiers: Ride EP — the band also has a video premiere on June 6 at the Memphis Listening Lab. Recognized for their raucous and rowdy shows\, they seldom get to perform a fair bit of their catalog that is more conducive to a listening room environment. This show will feature many of Dead Soldiers’ least-performed songs and unique arrangements of existing songs in their live repertoire.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents REPO MAN
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Repo Man in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, June 20\, 2024\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Films begin at 7:00 pm (sharp!) \nAlex Cox / 1984 / 92 minutes / Rated R \nA young punk\, recruited by a car repo agency\, finds himself in pursuit of a Chevrolet Malibu with a huge\, $20\,000 bounty — and something otherworldly stashed in its trunk. \n“Repo Man is one of those movies that slips through the cracks and gives us all a little weirdo fun. It is the first movie I know about that combines (1) punk teenagers\, (2) automobile repossessors\, and (3) aliens from outer space. This is the kind of movie that baffles Hollywood\, because it isn’t made from any known formula and doesn’t follow the rules.” — Roger Ebert \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y’all: Jessye DeSilva
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Folk All Y’all present Jessye DeSilva in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, June 15\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\n\n\nJessye DeSilva (she/they)’s new\, crowdfunded album\, Renovations\, chronicles an ongoing\, imperfect journey to self-love and -acceptance\, full of both moments of resignation and moments of triumph. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeSilva\, a non-binary\, trans person and the child of a preacher whose conservative religion left no room for their personhood\, examines identity and trauma and reckons with privilege and marginalization across 11 songs that draw from both their classical vocal training and work as a voice teacher for musical theater students at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music and their love of ’90s emo and pop-rock. The 2023 Nashville Scene artist to watch and 2022 Boston Music Awards Americana Artist of the Year nominee put queer and trans empowerment at the very heart of Renovations\, both in their encouraging\, vulnerable lyrics and in the musicians they enlisted to play on their songs.

Their ambitious project\, “Josephine Baker: A Life of Le Jazz Hot!” featured jazz songstress René Marie in performances that brought the house down in New York\, Pittsburgh\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles and St. Louis. \nIn 2021\, Imani Winds released their 9th studio album\, “Bruits” on Bright Shiny Things Records\, which received a 2022 GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.” Gramophone states\, “the ensemble’s hot rapport churns with conviction throughout.” \nImani Winds has recordings on Koch International Classics and E1 Music\, including their 2006 GRAMMY® nominated recording\, “The Classical Underground”.

Romero / 1978 / 127 minutes / Rated R \nA sequel of sorts to Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead\, Dawn of the Dead tells the story of a group of survivors during a zombie outbreak who take refuge in a suburban shopping mall while mass hysteria wreaks havoc on their town. \nOnce an omnipresent staple of midnight movie programs\, George A. Romero’s gut-chomping\, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead has since all but disappeared from movie screens\, as well as every other viewing format available. The cult following is now so large that it is estimated that over 80% of Dawn of the Dead’s fans have never experienced this legendary epic on a real movie screen. We are thrilled to be able to bring the original uncut theatrical version back for the fans and back for the screams! \nThis special anniversary screening will be $10 per admission. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

Reardon dove head first into music at the young age of 15\, and has spent much of the past decade writing\, recording and performing music around the world. \nRaised in a coastal Massachusetts town north of Boston\, Reardon spent three years based in Nashville and much of the past six years carrying her songs and stories all over the globe — including a six-month artist-in-residency stay in Dachau\, Germany — gathering experiences\, inspiration and soulful connections. Her ever-deepening music carries a lyrical and melodic weight beyond her years\, being described as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul” (Performer Magazine) and “a melancholy little masterpiece” (American Songwriter Magazine). No Depression writes “Reardon is truly a treasure.” \n

DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Modern Masters Jazz Series: Jim Snidero and The Ted Ludwig Trio in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nWednesday\, May 8\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door | $10 student tickets \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDescribed in a recent 5-star review in DownBeat magazine as having “incredible prowess and tender musicality\,” New York saxophonist and composer Jim Snidero encapsulates what is both unique and compelling about jazz\, reflected in over 10 million plays on Spotify. Hailed as having a sound “at the highest level among his fellow alto saxophonists of the 21st century” (All About Jazz)\, and improvisation that is “mind-boggling and\, at the same time\, hugely enjoyable” (The Guardian)\, Snidero is a veteran recording artist placing in both DownBeat critic and reader polls (EMI\, Milestone\, Savant …) and sideman (Mingus big band\, Jack McDuff\, Eddie Palmieri\, Frank Sinatra …) who can truly say “been there\, done that.”

SUMMARY:Ben Nichols and Rick Steff (of Lucero)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Ben Nichols and Rick Steff (of Lucero) in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, May 4\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $25 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\nMemphis music legends Lucero’s Ben Nichols and Rick Steff are teaming up to play a very special performance in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. \n\n\n\nSince forming in Memphis in the late ’90s\, Lucero’s base musical hallmarks have remained similar to the band’s initial sound established with their first record The Attic Tapes. In the history of their expansive discography\, Lucero has evolved and embraced everything from southern rock to Stax-inspired Memphis soul\, whilst simultaneously maintaining their distinctive sonic foundations. Over 20 years later\, dedicated fans of the group still flock to hear the band’s punchy driving rhythms\, punk-rooted guitar licks\, and lyrics that evoke the whiskey drenched sentimentality of Americana singer-songwriters. As expected of any band built to survive\, Lucero has welcomed change over the course of their career\, but it has always been on their terms.
