  • Chinese Connection Dub Embassy: “Crew Vibes”

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    The Reggae band Chinese Connection Dub Embassy was created by Omar, David, and Joseph Higgins in 2010, bringing hard-hitting originals and revamped covers that leave dance floors Irie all around. They released their first LP in 2013, The Firm Foundation, with the lead singles "Heavy Meditation" and "Tyrant". They’ve played festivals all over such as Beale Street Music Fest, Wakarusa, Grateful Fest, W.C. Handy Fest, and they’ve opened for such artists as T-Pain, Bone Thugs & Harmony, The Wailers, The Slackers, and Mephiskapheles. After the passing of their fellow band leader/brother Omar Higgins in 2019, Joseph and David are now leading the band to continue the legacy that was built on the foundation of unity. They took a newer Dacehall & Roots Reggae approach to their 2020 project Crew Vibez.

    The Vibrancy of Youth - Schubert’s “Great C Major” Symphony would not be heard for another ten years after the young 31 year old’s tragic death.

  • Mike Dowling

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Mike digs deep into the musical bag of American roots guitar, favoring the melodic Piedmont style of acoustic blues masters like Mississippi John Hurt and slide great Tampa Red. But Mike can’t be pigeonholed as a blues player, or even as a fingerstylist. He’s far too versatile for that. From bottleneck blues to vintage jazz and much more in between, Mike’s musicality, depth, and mastery of the instrument translates fluently to flattop, archtop, and resonator guitars alike.
