SUMMARY:Darrius Strong: “The Artist”
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Darrius Strong: “The Artist” in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, June 16\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: Free \n\n“The Artist” is a solo showcase performed by artistic director/choreographer Darrius Strong\, in which he touches on layers and humanity of the person behind the artist. For Strong\, movement is real and it acts as a language and sometimes as a therapeutic device. Overlapped with movement phrases\, “The Artist” will also showcase other routine devices he uses throughout his day that tie to the continuous work he does to heal trauma in his body — aspects of the work that are very much read\, true\, and relatable to the human experience for many. We are not just one-sides\, but we have many layers and dimensions to our identity. \nThis piece is a work in progress that Strong plans to explore and evolve throughout the year. \nDarrius Strong is a McKnight Fellow in residency at Crosstown Arts. He is a Twin Cities-based dancer\, choreographer\, and instructor. His dance company\, STRONGmovement\, uses the universal language of dance\, blending styles such as hip hop\, ballet\, modern\, and West African to tell stories related to society and humanity. Strong is a graduate of the University of Minnesota (BFA 2015) and is currently faculty at St. Paul Conservatory Performing Arts High School and director of the hip hop program at Eleve Performing Arts Center\, where he focuses on teaching dancers how to connect their identity to movement. His creative work has been chosen for the Walker Art Center’s Choreographers Evening\, and Rhythmically Speaking.  \nThis residency is supported by Artist Communities Alliance’s (ACA) McKnight Artist Residencies Consortium. This partnership between ACA and the McKnight Foundation supports selected residency program partners in developing fair and just policies\, and provides McKnight Artist Fellows with residency opportunities at these partner programs. This consortium aims to support the development of residency environments where any artist can thrive.

SUMMARY:Willie Farmer / Ryan Lee Crosby & Grant Smith / Shaun Marsh & Lynn Greer
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, June 15\, 2023\nDoors at 7pm | Show at 7:30\nTickets: $15 advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJoin Willie Farmer\, Ryan Lee Crosby & Grant Smith\, and Shaun Marsh & Lynn Greer for a special performance featuring the blues across time and space – music that crosses generations\, cultures\, and continents. \nWILLIE FARMER is living proof that Mississippi continues to produce deep blues. The 65-year-old guitarist is neither a soul modernist nor revivalist\, but simply a small town auto mechanic who’s never shaken his love for old school legends like Muddy\, Wolf and Lightnin’. \nA lifelong resident of tiny Duck Hill\, located in the hills east of the Delta\, Farmer grew up on the family farm. He first took up the acoustic guitar in his early teens\, and through picking cotton soon saved up enough money to buy an electric instrument. \nHe played for audiences at home and at school events\, and learned about blues and R&B mostly through listening to a powerful station out of Nashville. In his early ‘20s Farmer joined a loose knit band that played at juke joints across the area—in Duck Hill\, Grenada\, Kilmichael\, and down in the Delta in Greenwood and Charleston. He eventually tired\, though\, of the rough-and-tumble clubs where “people liked to fight like crazy.” \nFarmer eventually decided he wanted to get back into blues actively. In 2003 he helped found the annual Grassroots Blues Festival\, staged in a meadow outside Duck Hill. Through the event\, he befriended downhome blues players from across the state including Willie King and Leo Welch. \n“The Man From the Hill” marks the first time that he’s spent serious time in the studio. Recorded over multiple sessions at producer Bruce Watson’s Memphis based Delta-Sonic Sound\, Farmer enjoyed working in a North Mississippi Hill Country vein with Jimbo Mathus and session drummer George Sluppick. He even dipped back into gospel\, singing harmony together with Memphis’ Barnes Brothers. \nFor the past thirty years Farmer has run his own auto repair shop\, and hopes that the release of this record and associated touring will allow him to retire. “I’m trying to get out of that shop\, I’m tired of messing with those cars. It’s been a long time.” \nRYAN LEE CROSBY \nThe fingerstyle guitar maven\, songwriter and powerfully emotional performer blends echoes of traditional music from Mississippi\, Mali\, and India into compelling songs that speak from—and to—the heart. His music captures the timeless power of music from the Mississippi Delta\, refracted by influences of Hindustani slide guitar and Crosby’s own unique approach to the style. His songs resonate with a sound and spirit forged from his life as a traveling musician and his studies with masters of the Delta and Indian traditions. \n“Of all the world’s musical traditions\, the one that speaks to me most directly is the Bentonia style of Delta blues\,” Crosby relates. “Something I love about the blues is its timeless ability to express the entire range of the human experience: its brightest joys\, deepest sorrows and everything in between. By listening to the blues\, we can learn how to have compassion for ourselves and others. Its lessons are endless.” \n“With a riveting singing style and the compositional chops to pull off such searing sagas “Institution Blues” and “Down So Long” plus add new lyrics to the 19th century “Was It The Devil\,” Ryan Lee is the real deal. Recorded in Memphis by Bruce Watson of Fat Possum—the label famous for RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough—it sounds unique\, proudly independent and like a relic from another time.” Mike Greenblatt – GOLDMINE Magazine \nSHAUN MARSH with LYNN GREER \nFrom an early age growing up in the south of England\, Shaun Marsh learned the power and potential of music through his mother\, a performing artist and soul singer in the sixties and seventies. Being introduced to early pop\, rock & roll\, R&B and soul had a profound inspiration on him. It wasn’t until he reached his forties that Shaun began to look back at the origins and true roots of the music that he’d been listening to most of his life. Late one night while tuning in to John Peel on the radio\, he heard “Hellhound On My Trail\,” by Robert Johnson. The raw emotion of that recording compelled him to immerse himself in the early pre war Blues. He began to develop the techniques for playing finger picking style Country and Delta blues from the recordings of the early pioneering musicians who paved the way. It was these rich and lonesome strands of storytelling that brought him to Memphis\, where he continues to study in the shadow of this powerful music that defines this city. His repertoire on solo acoustic guitar ranges from Robert Johnson to Charley Patton\, from Skip James to Big Bill Broonzy. Following the threads of the blues from Memphis he also gets inspiration from such greats as Johnny Cash\, Magic Sam & Otis Redding. His performances create an atmosphere of true emotion\, telling the stories in song of this great music that changed the sound of popular music throughout the world. \nRefund policy: \nTickets may be refunded up to 72 hours in advance. \nTickets for shows that are cancelled will be refunded. \nIn the case of a postponed show\, tickets will be refunded upon request\, otherwise tickets will automatically be transferred to the new date.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Counterpoint: Blueshift Ensemble + Evan Williams
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Crosstown Counterpoint: Blueshift Ensemble + Evan Williams in the Central Atrium at Crosstown Concourse. \nCentral Atrium\nWednesday\, June 14\, 2023\nShow begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: Free \nREGISTER HERE \nSupported by an Arts Access grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission and ArtsMemphis\, Crosstown Arts presents the premiere of the commissioned work by Evan Williams\, “Crosstown Counterpoint” alongside Williams’ earlier works “Bodies Upon the Gears”\, “Amber Waves”\, and Terry Riley’s classic minimalist bop\, “In C.” \nAs the groundbreaking neared for Crosstown Concourse in 2017\, several Memphians young and old were interviewed to provide oral histories of the Sears Crosstown building and what the revitalization would do for the area. Taking inspiration from works such as Steve Reich’s Different Trains\, Crosstown Counterpoint uses these oral histories to tell the multi-generational story of this space\, and what it meant to the people of Memphis. Two antiphonal string quartets accompany the voices\, using the open space of the Central Atrium of Crosstown Concourse to bring this history to life. \nDrawing from inspirations as diverse as Medieval chant to contemporary pop\, the music of composer and conductor Evan Williams (b. 1988) explores the thin lines between beauty and disquieting\, joy and sorrow\, and simple and complex\, while often tackling important social and political issues. Williams’ catalogue contains a broad range of work\, from vocal and operatic offerings to instrumental works\, along with electronic music. \nBlueshift Ensemble is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers. \n

SUMMARY:MicroCinema: Tribute to Barbara Hammer
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Indie Memphis present MicroCinema: Tribute to Barbara Hammer.  \nCrosstown Theater\nWednesday\, June 14\, 2023\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Screenings begin at 7:00 pm\nTickets: Pay-What-You-Can \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIn honor of the incredible experimental lesbian filmmaker\, Barbara Hammer\, Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts are excited to bring this Tribute to Barbara Hammer for this month’s MicroCinema. A prolific filmmaker\, installation artist\, and pioneer of feminist and queer cinema for over 50 years\, Hammer’s work consistently and relentlessly explored the intimate experiences of lesbian relationships\, the erasure and censorship of queer history\, and the relationship between sex\, age\, and the body.  \nNitrate Kisses (1992)\, her first feature-length work\, is a foundational queer classic that takes the shape of an experimental documentary exploring queer history and its erasure in the archives and the movies — something she would continue to explore in later work. Her short\, Audience (1982)\, provides us with an insight into her vibrant personality and poses questions about the relationship between the artist\, the art\, and the audience experience that we wonder about to this day.  \nWe’re ecstatic to screen her work and celebrate her impact on experimental and queer cinema. \nMany thanks to Electronic Arts Intermix for this program! \nContent Advisory: This program does include depictions of explicit nudity.

In honor of Pride month\, this celebration of queer Black voices in roots music will feature Carmen Dianne\, Josey\, and Julia Cannon. \nCARMEN DIANNE is a Nashville born and raised singer-songwriter\, vocalist\, and bassist. Carmen finds that the most interesting people don’t really fit into one box\, so their music shouldn’t either. By blending genres like R&B with southern rock and country\, Carmen hopes to create a sound as natural and familiar as it is ear-catching and original. With her soulful\, angelic voice and deft songwriting skill\, Carmen Dianne illustrates stories of regret\, hope\, willpower and sheer bliss with a striking sincerity that shows that this singer won’t be going anywhere soon. \nJOSEY was crowned the winner of the talent competition “The Fame Chicago” before graduating from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Music and moving to Nashville to pursue her songwriting career. Her talents have led her to perform at numerous venues such as The Chicago Theatre\, The Metro\, Auditorium Theatre\, Exit/IN and with gifted musicians such as Diane Warren\, Corey Henry and Shawn Mullins. With her eclectic sound\, soaring vocals and compelling lyrics\, Josey is creating her own path within music. \nJULIA CANNON is a Nashville-based songwriter\, recording artist and music producer who is hard to forget. Recently lauded for her “beautiful balladry” by Rolling Stone (2022)\, Julia’s soothing\, honeyed voice and quirky personality offer a refreshing\, vibrant contrast to the bittersweet honesty of her lyrics and uncertain times for those listening. Known for her outstanding musicality\, disarming persona\, beauty\, style\, and offbeat humor\, Julia Cannon is a bright star to watch.  \nAbout Folk All Y’all: Intimate\, attentive performances by exceptional singer-songwriters\, proudly presented in Memphis\, Folk All Y’all is a public\, nonprofit listening room series supported by our pledges from our community.

Originally classically trained to study opera\, the skills she acquired from her Alma Mater and HBCU LeMoyne Owen College allowed her to branch out across several genres as a feature on numerous stages\, musical sets\, and news stations. \nAmong those include performing as a featured guest of Black Enterprise Magazine’s Women of Summit\, performing “Dealing” as a duet with Grammy-nominated Soul Crooner Eric Roberson\, and performing background for various mainstream RnB and gospel artists. \nShe soaks inspiration from artists such as Anita Baker\, Oleta Adams\, Rachelle Ferrell\, Luther Vandross\, Stevie Wonder\, Lalah Hathaway\, and Mint Condition\, just to name a few. \nThe music D’Monet writes\, she calls “Alkaline Music” – music that heals. Her intention is to connect with her audience\, giving them the space to heal\, laugh\, enjoy themselves and be free in that moment. She writes music based on real life experiences\, with a little mix of creativity in her songs. \nAbout Strictly Jazz: \nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. Strictly Jazz Entertainment facilitates dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community.

SUMMARY:Suture
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents Suture at Crosstown Theater. \nScott McGehee & David Siegel / 1993 / 96 minutes / Not Rated  \nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nInspired by the paranoid visions of John Frankenheimer’s Seconds\, the desert noir of Detour\, and the widescreen beauty of Hiroshi Teshigahara’s Woman of the Dunes\, Suture is one of the most outstanding neo-noirs of the 1990s. The wealthy and self-assured Vincent (Michael Harris) meets his blue-collar half-brother Clay (Dennis Haysbert) at their father’s funeral\, and is struck by their similarity. He decides to murder Clay and take his identity — only Clay survives the assassination attempt with no memory and is mistaken for Vincent. The fact that Harris is white and Haysbert is Black adds even more layers to a complex film that probes the very nature of identity. Executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and winner of Sundance’s Best Cinematography award\, Suture has been newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Alex Greene & the Rolling Head Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Alex Greene & the Rolling Head Orchestra in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, May 27\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nSession keyboardist and composer Alex Greene (Reigning Sound\, Big Ass Truck\, the Kropotkins\, Deepstaria Enigmatica) has over three decades of experience in Memphis and New York\, and has performed and recorded albums and soundtracks with the Rolling Head Orchestra since 2009. Whether he’s in singer/songwriter mode or leading a jazz band\, his compositions combine strong melodic lines with unexpected\, shape-shifting harmonies. Combining themes worthy of the Golden Age of Hollywood with more modernist sonic textures\, and echoing artists as diverse as Thelonious Monk\, Duke Ellington\, and Sun Ra\, the classic jazz sextet of the Rolling Head Orchestra is now augmented by the eerie wail of the Theremin. \nIn 2010\, the Rolling Head Orchestra scored the documentary Citizens Not Subjects: Reawakening Democracy in Memphis\, leading to the album Depression Jubilee. The group has gone on to perform original scores for silent films since 2019\, when Greene was a Resident Composer at Crosstown Arts\, including soundtracks for A Trip to the Moon; Aelita\, Queen of Mars; Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman; Flesh and the Devil with Greta Garbo\, and\, as commissioned by the Indie Memphis Film Festival in 2022\, Häxan. \nIn this one of a kind show at The Green Room\, Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra will focus on these cinematic set pieces as stand-alone works. Free to stretch out over Greene’s compositions\, the band\, featuring some of Memphis’ finest players\, will bring the music to life as never before\, blending jazz rhythms and horns with the haunting tones of the Theremin.

SUMMARY:Joe Rainey
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Joe Rainey in the Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, May 26\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 day of the show \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJoe Rainey is a Pow Wow singer. On Niineta\, he demonstrates his command of the Pow Wow style\, descending from Indigenous singing that’s been heard across the waters of what is now called Minnesota for centuries. Depending on the song or the pattern\, his voice can celebrate or console\, welcome or intimidate\, wake you up with a start or lull your babies to sleep. Each note conveys a clear message\, no matter the inflection: We’re still here. We were here before you were\, and we never left. \nRainey grew up at Red Lake Ojibwe in Minneapolis\, a city with one of the largest and proudest Native American populations in the country. The Red Lake Reservation sits five hours to the North\, a sovereign state unto itself\, but Rainey grew up down in what Northerners call “The Cities\,” in his mom’s house on historic Milwaukee Avenue on Minneapolis’ South Side. He was raised less than a mile away from Franklin Avenue\, the post-Reorganization Act urban nexus of local Native American life\, a community centered in the Little Earth housing projects and the Minneapolis American Indian Center. The neighborhood still serves as a home for both the housed and the un-housed\, and the don’t-even-wanna-be-housed Native. It is the birthplace of the American Indian Movement (AIM)\, the pioneering grassroots civil rights organization founded to combat the colonizing forces of police brutality. Rainey came of age in the heart of this community\, but always felt like he was living in a liminal space—not that he was uncomfortable with that. “Growing up\, knowing that you weren’t from the Rez\, but you were repping them\, was kind of weird\,” he says. “But I liked that.” \nRainey became interested in Pow Wow singing as a child—at the age of five\, he started recording Pow Wow singing groups with his GE tape recorder\, and his mom enrolled him in a dancing and singing practice with the Little Earth Juniors soon thereafter. As a pre-teen he began hanging out around The Boyz (a legendary Minneapolis drum group) at a house some of them stayed at in the Little Earth projects. “They knew me as a Little Joey\,” he remembers. “As in\, ‘Hey I tried to get Little Joey to sit down and sing\, but he’s too shy.” By the time he was a teenager\, however\, he had found enough courage to help start The Boyz Juniors\, his first drum group\, before going on to sing with Big Cedar\, Wolf Spirit\, Raining Thunder\, and Iron Boy. Eventually\, his voice grew strong enough to sing in Midnite Express\, a new drum group featuring some of The Boyz themselves. They were professionals\, city Indians travelling all over the north country\, repping their reservations and their neighborhoods on every side of every conceivable border—competing for cash and cred\, carousing\, providing the beat to the grass dances\, always striving to capture that “Pow Wow feeling” of togetherness. Rainey was always just as much of a fan as he was a participant—when he wasn’t at his own drum\, he was recording other drums\, then studying the tapes when he got home\, admiring and cataloging the different singing styles\, whether it was Northern Cree\, Cozad or Eyabay. Now with an upgraded workhorse Sony tape recorder\, he was a student of the game\, a maven\, a bootlegger extraordinaire. \nOn Niineta\, Rainey finds himself in between cultures again. This time collaborating with the producer Andrew Broder\, who brought his multi-instrumentalist\, turntablist sensibility to the project. The two of them first met backstage at Justin Vernon’s hometown Eaux Claires music festival before encountering each other more frequently through Vernon and Aaron and Bryce Dessner’s 37d03d collective—both contributing to the last Bon Iver album before broaching the possibility of working together sometime in the future. “At first I didn’t know what I could add to Joe’s incredible recordings\,” Broder says. “But eventually I came to understand everything is rooted in the drum—even the songs on our record that have no drum\, they’re still rooted in the drum.” So each song started with Broder’s beats\, the two of them experimenting with various sounds and tempos\, before bringing in other 37d03d collaborators to orchestrate and recontextualize the ancient Pow Wow sound in strange\, new in-between places. The album pulls from Rainey’s vast sample folder of Pow Wow recordings\, layering and remixing slices of his life of singing in venues across the upper Midwest and Canada. \nRainey got his title\, Niineta\, from his drum brother Michael Migizi Sullivan\, who suggested a short version of the Ojibwe term meaning\, “just me.” But he’s using the term only in the sense that he’s taking sole responsibility for its content. Rainey is protective of Pow Wow culture—which was outlawed by the United States government for a generation\, defiantly maintained in secret by Native elders he deeply respects—while trying to figure out exactly where he fits into it and how he can fuck with it on his own terms. “These are all my creations\, but they’re Pow Wow songs\, and our language is sacred\,” he says. “And I was like\, okay\, I understand that\, so our album is only vocals. I’m not recording when we’re not supposed to and I’m not giving our shit away.” He uses the analogy of working the hotel room door at a Pow Wow. “If we are partying with one of our older bros\, he’d always make me in charge of the fucking door\,” he says. So Rainey would like you to conceptualize this album as him working the door at a Pow Wow after party. “You can think of this like\, hey man\, if all these people are going to be fucking knocking and I’m the one answering the door\, you’re going to realize that I’m not the only one in this motherfucker. There’s tons of people in here. So if I’m answering that door\, I want to be like\, hey\, yeah\, come on in. There’s fucking tons of us in here. It ain’t just me.”
