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”.

SUMMARY:Circuit des Yeux with Optic Sink
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Circuit des Yeux with Optic Sink in The Green Room. \nTICKETS: $20 advance | $25 at the door\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nPurchase Tickets Here \n“-io is brilliantly extravagant” \n – NPR\, 50 Best Albums of 2021 \n“Fohr explores every nuance in her voice\, soaring and diving to unplumbed depths” \n– The Washington Post \n“A stirring reflection on grief\, oblivion and acceptance\, the album sounds like a fearless free fall into the void.” \n– New York Times \nCircuit des Yeux’s 2021 album -io was ranked on NPR’s 50 Best Albums of 2021\, Pitchfork’s 100 Best Songs of 2021\, and The Wire’s Top 50 Releases of 2021\, among other best of 2021 year-end lists.  \nHaley Fohr is a vocalist\, composer and singer-songwriter based in Chicago\, Illinois. Her musical endeavors focus around our human condition\, and her 10-year career as Circuit des Yeux has grown into one of America’s most successful efforts to connect the personal to the universal. \nShe is most distinctly identified by her 4-octave voice and unique style of 12-string guitar. Her mysterious “Jackie Lynn” project landed her on the cover of Wire Magazine in August of 2016. Her recent works include an Original Soundtrack for Charles Bryant’s silent film Salomé (1923)\, commissioned by Opera North\, and a critically acclaimed 2017 album Reaching For Indigo\, released on Drag City Records. \nCircuit des Yeux’s first studio album since 2017\, -io\, is her first for Matador Records. The sky over -io is Florida’s strange\, radiant orange. It’s a built environment\, unnatural\, made from concrete and glass\, with skyscrapers that stretch to the vanishing point as you gaze up at them. \nIt’s crumbling and suffocating\, a city perpetually on the brink of collapse\, where tension never topples over into catharsis\, where the heat never breaks. \nInside this world and its closed loop of time\, Fohr found herself able to begin moving again. “I was haunted by memories in the pandemic\,” she says. “As someone with PTSD\, memories are all twisted up inside of me in a way that doesn’t help my higher self. Making this album was once again an exercise of trying to relieve myself of some of that darkness in a way that music has always done for me.” \n

SUMMARY:Anika
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Anika\, the project of Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson\, in The Green Room. \nTICKETS: $15 in advance | $20 day of show \nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnika — the project of Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson\, who is also a founding member of Exploded View — announces Change\, her first new album in over a decade. Her video for “Change” was directed by Sven Gutjahr\, who also directed the video for her recent single\, “Finger Pies.” The follow-up to cult favorite Anika (2010)\, Change is beautifully fraught. The intimacy of its creation and a palpable sense of global anxiety are seemingly baked into the album’s DNA. Spread across nine tracks\, the central feeling of the record is one of heightened frustration buoyed by guarded optimism. The songs offer skittering\, austere electronic backdrops reminiscent of classic Broadcast records or Hi Scores-era Boards of Canada\, playing them against Anika’s remarkable voice — Nico-esque\, beautifully plaintive\, and — in regard to the record’s subject matter — totally resolute. \nHaving worked collaboratively in the past with the likes of BEAK> and Exploded View\, Change was ultimately the product of necessity. After recording the initial ideas by herself at Berlin’s Klangbild Studios\, Anika was joined by Exploded View’s Martin Thulin\, who co-produced the album and played some live drums and bass. “This album had been planned for a little while\, and the circumstances of its inception were quite different to what had been expected\,” says Anika. “This colored the album quite significantly. The lyrics were all written there on the spot. It’s a vomit of emotions\, anxieties\, empowerment\, and of thoughts like — How can this go on? How can we go on?” \nRecorded at a time when literally everyone in the world was being forced to take stock\, rethink\, and reimagine their own place in the cosmos of things\, Anika provides the wisened perspective of an outsider. It’s a perspective that is not lost on the British ex- pat and former political journalist\, and despite the subject matter and the circumstances around its creation\, Change itself is ultimately a treatise on optimism. The title track presents the album’s message writ large: “I think we can change. We all have things to learn\, about ourselves and about each other.” To end the record on such a sanguine note might be one of Change’s most revolutionary gestures. \n“There’s a lot of stuff I want to change\,” says Anika. “Some things I sat down and decided last year\, I had to change about myself and my life. Sometimes it feels helpless\, because the things we want to change are so huge and out of our control. Starting with yourself is always a good place. I think we can change.”

Born and raised in Brooklyn\, he delved into his Southern roots\, following the thread of African-American history that wove itself through country blues\, ragtime\, fiddle and banjo\, and traditional jazz. \nHubby got his higher musical education started as a busker. He developed his guitar and vocal craft on the sidewalks and subway platforms of New York City\, performing material by those venerable artists whose work he was quickly absorbing. An ambitiously itinerant musician\, he took his show on the road\, playing the streets\, coffee shops\, bars\, and house parties of cities around the country. \nAfter years of busking around the U.S and making a name for himself\, Hubby became acquainted with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. He was an integral part of the Grammy award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops from 2010 to 2014. Since 2015 to 2018\, he was active in touring and recording member in the Rhiannon Giddens band.

SUMMARY:Luke Winslow-King featuring Roberto Luti
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Luke Winslow-King featuring Roberto Luti in the Green Room. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 7pm | Show at 7:30pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door (plus fees) \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\nLuke Winslow-King is a guitarist\, singer\, producer\, and songwriter. Having spent more than 15 years in New Orleans\, his work is an eclectic mix that combines Mississippi delta blues\, folk music\, traditional jazz\, and roots rock & roll. \nHis songs blend contemporary ideas with styles from bygone eras\, producing a sound that is rustic\, urbane\, elegant\, and entirely his own. \nTuscan Slide Guitar Maestro Roberto Luti’s unorthodox\, angular\, and evocative slide guitar style is based on Mississippi and Chicago blues and is influenced by soul and African roots traditions. During his nearly decade-long residency in New Orleans\, Luti became an integral part of international recording project Playing For Change (PFC). He also laid the original track for One Love\, Higher Ground\, and Gimme Shelter\, which has accumulated over 100 million YouTube plays. \nLuke Winslow King and Roberto Luti have toured extensively in North America and Europe\, appearing on notable stages such as Austin City Limits\, New Orleans JazzFest\, Azkena Rock Festival (Spain)\, Tønder Festival Paradiso (Netherlands)\, Glastonbury (UK)\, Byron Bay Blues Fest (AUS)\, and countless more. \nRecorded in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Winslow-King’s seventh full-length album “If These Walls Could Talk” is to be released May 2022 on Ghost River Records\, featuring Roberto Luti\, Rev. Charles Hodges (Al Green)\, Fat Possum recording artists The Sensational Barnes Brothers\, and was produced by Dominc John Davis (Jack White). Like all of Winslow-King’s work\, “If These Walls Could Talk” continues to propel rugged roots to the vanguard of modern artistic sensibility. \n“They’re one of the most professional\, staunchly original\, and true-to-their-core bands working today.” — American Songwriter \n“Steeped in the muddy Delta blues\, but prickles with the raunch of a more Mid-Western take on the genre.” — Consequence of Sound \n“…he demonstrate[s] a wide range of songwriting worthy of comparison to Jason Isbell and John Fullbright.” — Austin Chronicle
