SUMMARY:Lana J.
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $15 advance | $20 at the door \nPurchase tickets here \nFrom the Bluff and Blues of Memphis\, Lana J. comes from a soulfully-sound city and creative culture. Her exposure and acceptance into the Stax Music Academy at the age of 13 allowed her to develop songwriting\, live show\, production\, and recording knowledge at an early age. Along with the influence of R&B\, Neo-Soul\, Funk genres\, Lana J. started singing in her hometown church and began studying music in choir in middle and high school. In high school\, she was a member of an all-female a capella group “Key of She”\, providing her with experience arranging\, traveling\, and performing. She recently graduated with a B.A. in Popular and Commercial Music at Loyola University New Orleans. In her freshman year of school\, Lana J. had her first studio recording collaboration on “Rendezvous” by D-Bibbs ft. Lana J.\, an upbeat bop which spotlights a hypothetical date night from both perspectives with playful and catchy lyrics and melody. Later that year\, she released her debut single “Warning”. Since then\, she has been developing her debut project and recently released a single in April titled “Breathe”\, introducing a soothing soulful self-care reminder that it is okay to take a moment in your day to reassure yourself and breathe because there is only one you. You can download the new Lana J. single on all streaming platforms including Spotify\, Apple Music\, and Amazon Music.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y'all presents Daniel Champagne
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30pm\nTickets: $20+ \nPurchase tickets here  \nAs the son of a musician and a guitar prodigy himself\, Daniel Champagne had a head-start on a career in music\, but it’s his indefatigable work ethic and exuberant appreciation for his supporters that have elevated him from simply an artistic genius to a rising international star. If he were simply a songwriter\, his work would be admired throughout the industry; if he were only a singer\, audiences would be engaged and enchanted by his voice; if he were just a guitarist\, he would deserve world-wide acclaim for his artistry. But he’s not just any one of these\, he’s all three. And he is\, quite simply\, amazing. Daniel has been wowing us since our house show days and we’re so excited to welcome him back for his fourth Folk All Y’all event.\nMinimum ticket price is $20 but you can name-your-own price above that if you’re feeling it. 100% of ticket revenue goes to our artists (you can see where any fees go in the check-out breakdown). Yep\, all of it. Folk All Y’all is volunteer-run and subscriber-supported. Shows are presented in partnership with Crosstown Arts at The Green Room in Crosstown Concourse.\n\nAbout Folk All Y’all: Intimate\, attentive performances by exceptional singer-songwriters\, proudly presented in Memphis\, Folk All Y’all is a public listening room series dedicated to providing artists and audiences with unforgettable music experiences.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum & Maysa at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Kafe Kirk with Kirk Whalum and special guest Maysa. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 5pm | Show begins at 6pm\nTickets: General Admission $45 (plus fees) \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\nKIRK WHALUM \nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, (TN) gospel roots and his 1980‘s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The 80’s 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). \nAn ordained minister\, Kirk has earned a Masters of Art in Religion. It’s in this spirit that he serves his community in various ways when his touring schedule allows. There is also his daily fifteen minute podcast\, Bible In Your Ear (BIYE)\, in which he invites you to listen along as he reads through the Bible in a year. In addition to music and ministry\, Kirk has a passion to educate young\, aspiring musicians and is currently engaged as a music professor at Visible Music College in his hometown of Memphis. \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. \nIn a career spanning decades\, Kirk has a sound that is uniquely his; it is a sound that leaves an indelible imprint on the listener. \nMAYSA \nMaysa is the kind of singer who takes hold of a song and enraptures her audience in the palm of her hands\, as she delivers lyrics\, phrases\, melodies and harmonies in a way that only she can. Blessed with an instantly identifiable honey-toned mezzo-soprano and an undeniably brilliant and magnetic stage presence\, Maysa’s alluring vocals\, candor\,honesty\, humor and purity as an artist make her a rarity in this business. Having collaborated with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Incognito\, Angela Bofill\, Will Downing and Jonathan Butler\, Phil Perry and more…Maysa can hang with the best. It is no wonder she was the recipient of many awards for her work\, including Soul Train’s first Centric Award in 2009\, and her first Grammy nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance for her remake of Nancy Wilson’s “QUIET FIRE” in 2014. \nThe Baltimore native\, who grew up in a loving household with amazing parents\, is proudly the mom of one son\, Jazz\, who was born prematurely at 25 weeks while she was on tour with Incognito in 1999. Jazz is now in college studying Photography and Music Production. \nIn 2018\, Maysa became the owner/founder of her own record label\, BLUE VELVET SOUL RECORDS. The company has released 4 singles\, YOU ARE NOT ALONE\, IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT\, LOVIN’ YOU IS EASY\, and SOFT WORDS. To celebrate her first record printing \, MAYSA designed a commemorative blue velvet box set with those 4 singles as an EP called THE FAB FIRST FOUR\, in January of 2021. \nMaysa will release her 14th solo studio album entitled\, MUSIC FOR YOUR SOUL in the first quarter of 2022.

SUMMARY:Black Music Month Pop-Up Series: C maJor and Eillo
DESCRIPTION:Each Thursday in June\, Crosstown Arts presents a special Black Music Month pop-up series in the Central Atrium. All performances are free and open to the public. \n5:30-7:30pm | Central Atrium\nFree and open to the public \nBorn and raised in Memphis\, TN\, music has always been apart of C maJor’s life. As an infant\, his mother would put him to sleep with classical selections. In middle and high school he would go on to perform as a percussionist in his schools’ concert and marching bands. As a music producer/engineer those roots as a percussionist play a major part in the C maJor sound. Drums are EVERYTHING. Percussion holds a certain power in music; the power to make the listener feel and react. As a musician\, C maJor plays on that power using the drums in unexpected patterns to get unexpected results out of listeners. As a kid\, he grew up listening to the underground sound that Memphis is now taking worldwide. He has worked with hometown legends Gangsta Boo and Project Pat closely as both a producer and engineer. He is also one out of three producer/engineers in the Unapologetic family. At the core\, C maJor is a simple\, quiet\, calm person. He’ll let the beats do the talking\, and they talk a lot. \nEillo (ee-loh) is a second-generation musician from Memphis who loves to blend his musical influences to make something new. \nBorn from neo-soul on his mother’s side and underground hip hop on his father’s\, Eillo’s ears always picked up around music. Early memories of the music that his mom would sing to in the house daily from India Arie to Stevie Wonder\, and hearing his dad freestyle around the house were hat started his journey into finding more ways to experience music. He picked up drums at 4\, keys at 5\, drawing at 7\, and beats at 13. \nEillo also became drawn to a lot of weird music that innovated the media along with concepts like polyrhythms or microtones that redefined what we know as music. \nThese interests\, mixed with the experience that comes with being black in America\, sparked a flame that affected his outlook on the influence of music to the world\, and how the creatives he listed to were able to tell a story through their gifts \nBy this time\, he knew that all he wanted to do in life was move the world with his music. \nWith all of this he still struggled a lot w being fully expressive in himself to nurture his gifts. Until summer 2018 when he became an intern for Unapologetic. That key unlocked a part of him that begin to break through that barrier. He picked up the guitar a year later and\, around that time\, finally set himself on the name Eillo\, a play of the word Elohim signifying his connection to all people through music and through the fact that we are all the creator of something. \nEillo’s purpose is to use his acquired skills and talents to create a sound that can resonate w people\, but still reflects his unique approach to music.

SUMMARY:Kraftwerk 3-D at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Electro pioneers Kraftwerk present their 3-D Summer Concert Tour at Crosstown Theater. \nTickets: $50 \n\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \n** We will not accept tickets from third-party ticket-holders. \nBringing together music and performance art\, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true “Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art.” \nThe multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf\, Germany\, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid-1970s\, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. \nWith their visions of the future\, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. Their compositions\, using innovative techniques\, synthetic voices\, and computerized rhythms\, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from electro to hip hop\, from techno to synth-pop. \nIn their live performances\, Kraftwerk — Ralf Hütter\, Henning Schmitz\, Fritz Hilpert\, and Falk Grieffenhagen — illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. Starting with the retrospective of their catalog at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012\, Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late 1960s. The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London)\, Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo)\, Opera House (Sydney)\, Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles)\, Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris)\, Neue National Galerie (Berlin)\, and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). In 2014\, Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

SUMMARY:Bill Mize
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents GRAMMY-winning guitarist Bill Mize in the Green Room. \nDoors at 7pm | Show at 7:30pm\nTickets: $15 advance | $20 day of the show \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nGrammy-winning guitarist Bill Mize is a son of Tennessee\, and a fitting representative of his state’s rich musical heritage. His critically lauded fingerstyle compositions are fluid and intricate\, and their delivery masterful. One suspects an influential teacher\, and one would be right. “I received most of my musical education from a cheap Zenith radio\,” says Mize\, who as a child drifted off to sleep to the decidedly non-sleepy lullabyes emanating from Nashville’s WLAC and WSM and Knoxville’s WNOX. \nMaybe that’s why critics speak of his ability to “transport” the listener; the music itself has been transported. The links to his Tennessee roots are unmistakable\, but so are the elements of the far wider musical realm he inhabits\, and the mixture is as intoxicating as Tennessee moonshine. With a twist. \nBill is a past winner of the National Fingerstyle Guitar Competition at The Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield\, Kansas. Guitar Player Magazine has labeled this event the “U.S. Open of guitar competitions.” Bill received a GRAMMY Award for his collaboration with musician and storyteller David Holt on the recording Stellaluna\, and has been featured on the popular guitar compilations “Windham Hill Guitar Sampler” by Windham Hill Records and “Masters of the Acoustic Guitar” by Narada Records. In 2009\, Bill’s music appeared in the Ken Burns documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.” Mel Bay Productions transcribed Mize’s second CD\, “Tender Explorations\,” into a songbook\, and his original compositions have been transcribed for Fingerstyle Guitar and Acoustic Guitar magazines.

SUMMARY:Garrison Starr: Eighteen Over Me 25th Anniversary Tour at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Garrison Starr at Crosstown Theater\, celebrating the 25th anniversary of her major label debut LP Eighteen Over Me. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: $25 advance | $30 day of the show | $75 VIP Ticket*\nDoors at 6:30pm | Show begins at 7:30pm \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n*VIP ticket includes early entry + 15 min Q&A with artists before doors open. \n  \n“One of the strongest voices in town… the author of affecting\, emotion-bearing songs that are clothed in attractive\, melodic garb” — Billboard \n“Writes and sings her heart out. In the ‘American Idol’-ized landscape that constitutes today’s music business\, she is someone to be thankful for” — Mary Chapin Carpenter \nAfter two milestone-laden decades in music\, Garrison Starr is going back to where it all began to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her major label debut LP Eighteen Over Me with a tour and a highlighted show in Memphis\, TN at the legendary Crosstown Theater\, where she will be performing the record in it’s entirety and recording that performance to release as a live LP later this year. \nOriginally hailing from Hernando\, MS\, Garrison released her major label debut\, Eighteen Over Me\, in 1997 for Geffen Records. The album was critically acclaimed and is still loved by its fans. Starr made her home in the Memphis music scene in the mid-90s\, working at famed Ardent Studios and playing shows every chance she got. Her triumphant song “Superhero” caught the attention of A&R rep Ray Farrell\, and she signed a deal in 1996. The majority of the record was written within the year\, and was released in Sept. of 97’. Starr notes her favorite touring experiences from back in those days were with The Sundays soon after the record’s release and playing Lilith Fair\, where she met some of her heroes and future collaborators: Mary Chapin Carpenter\, The Indigo Girls\, Bonnie Raitt and Sara Maclachlan. \nSince then\, she’s toured the world and back\, she’s received a GRAMMY nomination\, has had her songs placed in hundreds of movies\, TV shows and commercials\, was featured in a 2022 Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile staring Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus and has released a dozen albums while also writing songs for others such as Back Street Boys and Kris Allen. \nBut there’s nothing quite like your first LP. No matter what else you accomplish\, there’s always something special about the first thing you present to the world. And that’s something to celebrate. \nAbout Garrison Starr: \nGarrison Starr is the quintessential musical triple-threat – singer\, songwriter\, record producer – and her latest album\, Girl I Used To Be\, reveals her at the height of all her powers. \nStarr is a celebrated singer of such remarkable reputation that music icons go out of their way to praise her. Glen Phillips declares\, “Garrison’s voice goes straight to the gut. She reminds you of what it means to be human.” Mary Chapin Carpenter adds\, “She just writes and sings her heart out. In the ‘American Idol’-ized landscape that constitutes today’s music business\, she is someone to be thankful for.” \nOf her songwriting\, Billboard Magazine describes Starr as “the author of affecting\, emotion-bearing songs that are clothed in attractive\, melodic garb.” That unique melodic sense is the foundation for Starr’s songwriting acclaim and why she’s found such success writing for TV\, commercials\, and film – where her songs have been featured numerous times. \nHer frequent collaborations with other artists have been both in the studio and on stage – Starr has toured with the likes of Steve Earle\, Emmylou Harris\, Bruce Cockburn\, Patty Griffin\, Mindy Smith\, and Melissa Etheridge (to name a few)\, logging hundreds of thousands of touring miles across the country and around the world. \nIn 2016\, Starr collaborated with Margaret Cho\, producing and performing on her Grammy-nominated album\, American Myth. Pulling no punches\, Cho paints Starr as “an incredible singer and songwriter and one of the brightest talents that music has ever seen. Artists like her come along once in a millennia\, and we are lucky to have her now.” \nMost recently\, Starr started a “supergroup” with Nashville songwriters Sean McConnell and Peter Groenwald to form My Sister My Brother\, who released their debut self-titled EP on March 6\, 2020. Rolling Stone called it “a gorgeous\, harmony-drenched [record] about partnership and purpose”.
