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.”

Waking Up has nine songs\, all written by Michael Graber. “We wanted to push the boundary limits even more on this one\, staying song-centered\,” says Graber. \nThe album begins with a rambunctious saga of pent-up domesticity\, “All the Time.” The pensive meditation “Morning on the Water” follows with lead vocals by Kitty Dearing. “Taproot” starts with a 12-string\, followed with saxophone and hand percussion\, and features guests Hope Clayburn and Jesse Dakota. “Waking Up” is an “Astral Weeks in Memphis”-type of dream song\, about waking up in all connotations. “Living on a Faultline” finds the band at their funky best. Then Kitty takes the microphone again to lead “Hardcore Heartbreak”. Two more folk pop structured songs follow: “Okay” and “Good to You”. “Faultline”\, a Carter-family inspired song about living on the New Madrid Faultline closes the set. \nGraber Gryass includes Michael Graber (Guitar and Vocals)\, Kitty Dearing (Vocals and Saw)\, Andy Ratliff (Mandolin and Vocals)\, Andrew Geraci (Bass)\, Clint Wagner (12-string and Fiddle)\, Randal Morton (Banjo)\, Caleb Ryan Martin (High-strung Guitar and Baritone Banjo) with these guests: Jesse Dakota (Percussion)\, Hope Clayburn (Flute and Sax)\, and Joe Mahanahan (Vibraphone). The album was recorded at High/Low\, engineered by Pete Matthews\, mixed by Matt Qualls\, and produced by Michael Graber. \nGraber Gryass is an all-original\, acoustic jam-grass band from Memphis\, Tennessee. Take an award-winning writer\, have him craft songs\, and then layer in some of the regions hottest players\, including a Winfield-winning banjo champion\, the musical director of Public Enemy\, members of such bands as Rumpke Mountain Boys\, and others—and you have Gryass. This six-piece band can sing harmonies like the Mamas and the Papas\, stretch out and jam like the Dead or New Grass Revival all while keeping audiences moving and inspired.

SUMMARY:Sean McConnell & Garrison Starr Present: My Sister\, My Brother
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nWednesday\, May 3\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 day of show | $75 VIP \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIf trust had a sound\, it’d be My Sister\, My Brother. \n“Sometimes you just immediately trust somebody––you’re at ease from the beginning\,” says Garrison Starr “You know they’ve got your back. It feels easy. I immediately felt that way with Sean.” \nGarrison is talking about Sean McConnell\, her musical partner in My Sister\, My Brother\, a new group with the kind of natural magic that only happens when kismet masquerades as coincidence. Individually\, they are independent solo artists known for smart songwriting and breathtaking vocals. Together\, their voices reach that rarefied air typically reserved for families: harmonies that twin and snake around each other to hypnotize and soothe. “When we started writing and especially when we started singing together\, it was like\, ‘Wow. This is not normal. This feels very natural\,’” Sean says. “It feels like singing with a sibling you’ve sung with for a long time. Very quickly\, it became a special collaboration.” \nThe two artists formed My Sister\, My Brother\, not because they’d planned to\, but because they had to. They first sat down to write during a songwriting retreat. They emerged with “Nothing Without You\,” a stunner with its heart on its sleeve. \nVIP: Early entry directly after sound check (6:30 pm). 15-20 minute Q&A with Garrison and Sean.

SUMMARY:Gareth Pearson (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Gareth Pearson in the Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, April 29\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \n“Gareth is fast becoming one of the world’s most renowned instrumental guitarists.” – Adam Walton (BBC Radio Wales) \n“I really respect Gareth’s abilities. He’s a great young man and a great ambassador for the acoustic guitar.” – Tommy Emmanuel  \nGareth Pearson is referred to as “The Welsh Tornado” which is particularly appropriate\, seeing as this special talent combines fingerstyle pyrotechnics\, with explosive lead runs making Pearson one of the most exciting acoustic musicians gigging today. \nGareth has a distinctive style that can be heard through his creative and innovative arrangements which cover a wide spectrum of genres\, including country/folk/classical/pop/rock/jazz/swing and bluegrass music\, along with his own beautiful and often intricate original compositions. \nDrawing his playing style initially from influences such as Chet Atkins\, Merle Travis\, Jerry Reed and Tommy Emmanuel\, he has developed a style that is both inspiring and entertaining. \nWithin a year of taking up the guitar\, Gareth was opening for Tommy Emmanuel on his 2005 UK tour. It was in Cardiff where Tommy invited Gareth to play at the CAAS convention (Chet Atkins Appreciation Society) in Nashville\, Tennessee. \nLater that year\, Gareth was performing and touring alongside Ray Davies (The Kinks)\, John Renbourne\, and Southside Johnny and the Ashbury Jukes. During the Southside Johnny tour\, Gareth was invited by Southside to be flown over to the USA to open for his annual New Years Eve concert at the Count Basie Theatre in New Jersey. \nThe following year Gareth was invited by Tommy Emmanuel to be the support act for his UK tour\, following extensive UK supports to Jan Akkerman\, Andy McKee and appearing at numerous Folk Festivals and Guitar workshops including the Montreal Jazz Festival. \nWith appearances throughout Europe and a growing reputation\, Gareth was invited to perform at the 2008 Canadian Guitar Festival where he came to the attention of Candyrat Records. This lay the seed for Gareth to be the first UK guitarist to be signed by the label. On its release\, Gareth’s debut album “Urban Echoes Vol 1” was selected by Acoustic Guitar editors and frequent contributors as one of the “Essential Acoustic Albums of 2010”. \nWith appearances at the 2009 Montreal Guitar Festival\, USA and worldwide tours and guitar workshops\, Gareth’s reputation as a performer and teacher is constantly growing.

SUMMARY:Doug MacLeod
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Doug MacLeod in the Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, April 27\, 2023\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n“Like all great blues men\, MacLeod lives his music\, and the songs are not just on the tips of his fingers and tongue\, they are one with his being.” – Blues Music Magazine \n“One of the great blues artists… Period !” – Jorma Kaukonen. \n“Doug MacLeod is one of the last and most iconic songwriters in blues that the contemporary scene can still offer.” – Macalle Blues – Italy. \nMacLeod is known for his superb songwriting\, guitar wizardry\, warm soulful vocals\, wit\, and unforgettable live performances. At the heart of a Doug MacLeod performance is his knack for storytelling\, bringing characters from the faceless to the legendary-to strikingly real life. \nDoug is a multiple Blues Music Award winner\, including the 2020 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year and the 2018 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Album Of The Year ‘Break The Chain’. He was recently nominated for the 2023 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year. \nIn March of 2022 he co-authored with Debra Schiff the blues murder mystery book MURDER AT THE CROSSROADS. In 2022 A SOUL TO CLAIM produced by Jim Gaines was released. It was named a Downbeat Magazine ‘Album Of The Year’ for 2022. In March 2023 RAW BLUES 1 EP was released on Sledgehammer Blues/ Valley Entertainment. \nDoug is an international touring artist who writes and sings original songs that are based on his own life and experiences. He learned from the old masters and carries forward a valuable tradition. \nAs a youth\, Doug overcame abuse and a crippling stutter by turning to music. After picking up a guitar\, and singing — he found his voice. \nMacLeod’s playing landed him sideman gigs with George ‘Harmonica’ Smith\, Big Joe Turner\, Pee Wee Crayton\, Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson\, Lowell Fulson\, and Big Mama Thornton. Over 30 years\, 22 studio albums\, several live records\, compilations\, a blues guitar instructional DVD\, and a live performance DVD\, MacLeod has consistently earned raves. \nHis songs have been covered by many artists including Albert King\, Albert Collins\, Joe Louis Walker and Eva Cassidy. MacLeod’s songs have been featured in many TV movies and the hit show In the Heat of the Night. August Wilson requested his soulful slide guitar playing in the Los Angeles opening of “Gem of the Ocean”. \nFrom 1999 to 2004 Doug hosted Nothin’ But The Blues\, a very popular weekend blues show on Los Angeles’ KLON-KKJZ. He has also been the voice for The Blues Showcase on Continental Airlines. For ten years he penned “Doug’s Back Porch\,” a regular feature column in Blues Revue Magazine in which he shared his humorous and insightful stories with thousands of readers. He is one of the four featured artists in the movie “Resonate: A Guitar Story”\, the feature documentary on the making of National Guitars. Like the old masters who taught him\, MacLeod’s music expresses life and times through an intangible\, elusive quality that may simply be a keen sense of what matters most. Doug’s music\, stories\, and philosophy provide a healing that has helped others overcome the hardships of their lives. \nDoug says the most important lessons he learned as a young musician came from Ernest Banks a one-eyed country bluesman from Toano\, VA. \n“Never play a note you don’t believe” and “Never write or sing about what you don’t know about.” \nAs Blues Hall Of Fame artist Pee Wee Crayton’s widow Esther once told Doug\, “You have a message and you’ll send that message mainly to the people who don’t go to church.” Amen.

SUMMARY:Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents Opening Night at Crosstown Theater. \nJohn Cassavetes / 1977 / 144 minutes / Rated PG-13\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nIn a role equally as fragile and mercurial as A Woman Under the Influence’s “Mabel”\, Gena Rowlands is Opening Night’s “Myrtle”: a successful actress going kind of crazy in a play about aging crazily. John Cassavetes’ hymn to that berserk business of performing\, Opening Night is enhanced by its intense “old Hollywood” pedigree as Ben Gazzara\, John Blondell\, Paul Stewart and Cassavetes himself are the backing band for Rowlands’ knife-edged soloing. From the first scene\, the narrative is peppered with turn-on-a-dime ambiguity. Whole swathes of action take place “onstage” in front of a real-life audience watching the in-character cast — with a permeable membrane between stage and “reality” so tangible it hurts. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum & Jazzmeia Horn (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum and special guest Jazzmeia Horn in Crosstown Theater. \nSunday\, April 23\, 2023\nCrosstown Theater\nBox office opens at 5PM | Doors open at 5:30PM\nShow begins at 6PM\nTickets: General Admission $45 (plus fees) \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 iteration’s performance will feature jazz singer Jazzmeia Horn. \nJAZZMEIA HORN\nJazzmeia Horn is an American jazz singer and songwriter. She won the Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition in 2015. Horn’s repertoire includes jazz standards and covers of songs from other genres\, including by artists such as Stevie Wonder. She has been compared to jazz vocalists such as Betty Carter\, Sarah Vaughan\, and Nancy Wilson. \n“Horn is among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz\, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter\, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present.” — The New York Times \nKIRK WHALUM\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, Tennessee\, gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The ’80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene—especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first #1 album. As well\, Kirk and Bob received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. After moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in demand session player for top artists like\, Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones and most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date; others include his eclectic\, and much lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series\, (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar). \nKirk is the recipient of numerous awards and acknowledgements for his musical excellence including three Dove Award nominations\, an NAACP Image Award nomination and has won two Stellar Awards- Gospel music’s highest honor. A twelve time Grammy nominee\, Kirk won his first Grammy award (2011)for Best Gospel Song (“It’s What I Do”—featuring Lalah Hathaway) alongside life-long friend and gifted songwriter\, Jerry Peters.

SUMMARY:“Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas”
DESCRIPTION:On view April 22\, 2023\, to August 6\, 2023\nCrosstown Arts Galleries\nFree and open to the public \nGallery Hours\nTuesday–Friday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.\nSaturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.\nSunday: noon– 6 p.m. \n“Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas” is composed of videos from McLean Fahnestock’s Stratagem series\, where the sea and sky flip and merge to generate a new\, seductive yet false horizon. Stratagems are plans or schemes that are designed to deceive. Usually referring to warfare\, they are a well-executed artifice upon an enemy. Working with her interest in desire as it manifests in the landscape\, these works present the ways that our desires can open a door to our ultimate deception.  \nIn a presentation unique to Crosstown Arts\, the videos have been loaded into a custom program that randomly chooses the video and the length of time the video will loop before the next one is randomly chosen to play. Viewers will have a shifting experience that will never repeat. \nThe title for the exhibition comes from the first of the 36 Stratagems – a 6th century Chinese text covering political\, military\, and social strategy written by an unknown scholar.   \nMcLean Fahnestock works with the dynamically changing landscape. Her practice is centered on our desire for specific visual and physical landscapes as manifested through the concept of paradise. This has led to investigations into how this desire has been the catalyst for climate change\, colonialism\, and ecocide. She utilizes digital forms of collage\, video\, and new media. McLean received a BFA from Middle Tennessee State University and MFA from California State University Long Beach. Her work has been exhibited and screened across the United States and internationally. Her work was selected for Off the Screen at the 57th Ann Arbor Film Festival. She has been an artist in residence at Stove Works in Chattanooga\, Tennessee\, and The Lock-Up in Newcastle\, New South Wales\, Australia. McLean keeps her studio in Old Hickory\, Tennessee.
