SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Paul Asbell
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice.  \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. March’s performance features guitarist Paul Asbell in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nFrom his early years playing blues on Chicago’s South Side to his present multi-faceted career based out of northern Vermont\, Paul Abell has earned an underground reputation as a true “musician’s musician.” He has played and recorded with Muddy Waters\, John Lee Hooker\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Lightnin’ Hopkins\, Otis Rush\, Magic Sam\, Earl Hooker\, Lightnin’ Slim\, Paul Butterfield\, Sam Lay\, Pops Staples\, Donny Hathaway\, and numerous others while in his hometown of Chicago\, Illinois. \nPaul moved to Vermont\, where he still lives\, in the heady “back-to-the-land” days of 1971. He soon started playing and recording with a head-spinningly diverse array of artists\, including Big Mama Thornton\, singer-songwriters Paul Siebel\, Jim Ringer\, Mary McCaslin\, and Rosalie Sorrells\, jazz greats Jon Hendricks\, Bobby McFerrin\, Sonny Stitt\, and Nick Brignola\, and many others. In 1978\, seeking an outlet for more personal musical visions\, he formed Kilimanjaro\, and recorded two award-winning albums for Philo Records. \nSoon after\, the band performed at the Kool Jazz Festival at SPAC\, the Atlanta Jazz Festival\, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland\, and numerous national tours and concert dates. Kilimanjaro served as backup band on lengthy national tours with Esther Satterfield\, and Paul Butterfield\, with whom they played the Montreal Jazz Festival\, and the Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen. \nIn 1981\, Paul and other members of Kilimanjaro joined forces with a legendary saxophonist and blues singer to form Big Joe Burrell and the Unknown Blues Band. Together\, they performed at many festivals\, including the Kool Jazz Festival\, toured Russia\, Holland\, and Canada\, and served as back-up band for Marva Wright\, Kenny Neal\, W.C. Clark\, and others. The UBB remained a Northeast regional favorite for over 20 years\, until Big Joe’s passing in 2005. \nPersonal performance credits in recent years include David Bromberg\, Betty Carter\, Joshua Redman\, James Carter\, Kermit Ruffins\, Michael Ray\, the Sun Ra Arkestra\, The Wild Magnolias\, John Stowell\, guitar wunderkind Julian Lage\, Dave Grippo\, and former students Trey Anastasio and Nick Cassarino. Paul has taught guitar for over 45 years. Private instruction remains a favored format\, but he has also taught for several decades on a university level\, including positions at Dartmouth College\, St. Michael’s College\, and presently at Middlebury College and the University Of Vermont.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Adam Larson Band in The Green Room

Larson has been described by critic Howard Reich of The Chicago-Tribune as “a player for whom the word ‘prodigious’ was coined.” Peter Hum of the Ottawa Citizen called him “a saxophonist who brings Donny McCaslin and Mark Turner to mind\,” and Nate Chinen of The New York Times said he is “the sort of jazz musician who gets flagged early on as a promising talent and then hustles to meet every requirement for success.” Larson has garnered numerous awards that distinguish him as one of the most promising artists of his generation. \nAs a student\, Larson was a member of virtually every national program dedicated to showcasing excellence in young jazz talent\, including The Grammy Band\, Next Generation Jazz Orchestra\, Betty Carter Jazz Ahead\, YoungArts Jazz Fellows\, Telluride Student All-Stars\, and Jazz Band of America\, among others. Upon graduating from University High School in 2008\, Adam moved to New York City to pursue his BM and MM in Jazz Performance on full scholarship from The Manhattan School\, where he graduated with honors as a Master’s student and the recipient of the William H. Borden Award for Outstanding Performance in Jazz in 2014. \nLarson has released five albums: one for Ropeadope Records\, two under the Inner Circle Music label\, and two produced independently. Larson’s most recent recording “Second City” received a four-star rating from Downbeat magazine\, was listed as one of the best releases of 2017 in both Downbeat and Jazziz Magazine\, and was prominently featured in several publications. Larson’s fifth record\, “Listen With Your Eyes\,” was released on Ropeadope Records on September 6th\, 2019. \nLarson keeps an active schedule with his own groups and as a sideman\, having performed at several venues across the U.S.\, including The Jazz Standard\, Birdland\, The 55 Bar\, The Jazz Gallery\, The Blue Note\, The Village Vanguard\, Smalls\, Jazz at The Bistro\, The Jazz Estate\, The Jazz Showcase\, and several others. \nBeyond maintaining an active touring and recording schedule\, Larson continues to be a sought-after clinician and master class presenter at several high schools and universities across the country and beyond\, including appearances at HKU Conservatory-Utrecht\, University of Iowa\, Drake University\, University of Northern Iowa\, Temple University\, Yale\, Manhattan School of Music\, and University of North Texas among many others. Adam is currently on faculty at University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory\, where he teaches saxophone\, jazz pedagogy\, and music business.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Jaime Branch's "Fly Or Die" in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance of trumpeter Jamie Branch’s debut album\, “Fly or Die.” \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nA mainstay of the Chicago jazz scene and an active recent addition to the New York scene\, Jaimie Branch is an avant-garde trumpeter known for her “ghostly sounds\,” says The New York Times\, and for “sucker punching” crowds straight from the jump off\, says Time Out. \nHer classical training and “unique voice capable of transforming every ensemble of which she is a part” (Jazz Right Now) has contributed to a wide range of projects not only in jazz but also punk\, noise\, indie rock\, electronic\, and hip-hop. Branch’s prolific as-of-yet underexposed work as a composer and a producer\, as well as a sideman for the likes of William Parker\, Matana Roberts\, TV on the Radio\, and Spoon\, is all on display in her debut record Fly or Die — a dynamic 35-minute ride that dares listeners to open their minds to music that knows no genre\, no gender\, no limits. \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Tokyo Knights
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nSeijun Suzuki was a journeyman director for Nikkatsu\, one of the oldest Japanese film production companies in existence. Suzuki eventually went from journeyman to auteur\, slipping weird elements into what should have been run-of-the-mill Yakuza fare. Finally Suzuki made the legendary Branded to Kill (R.I.P.\, Joe Shishido) for Nikkatsu and was fired! \nSuzuki persevered and made more films\, but Crosstown Arts is going back to his roots with a screening of Tokyo Knights. Pre-dating the idea of “millennials\,” Tokyo Knights  is about a boy named Koji who is good at\, well\, everything. Koji’s pop passes\, and Koji goes home to take over his family’s “construction business\,” crush it at school\, and get the truth as to what happened with his daddy. \nSeijun Suzuki/1961/82 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Women of Folk: Xaris Waltman Trio & Bailey Bigger Band in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts presents Women of Folk — performances by the Xaris Waltman Trio and Bailey Bigger Band. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nBorn and raised in small-town Arkansas\, just outside of the musically historic city of Memphis\, Tennessee\, Bailey has always had a passion for songwriting. She first picked up a guitar at only nine years old and began to write songs within the first week of playing. \nAt age 17\, Bailey won “Memphis’ Best Song Of 2017” for her original song\, “Wildflower.” Since then\, she has performed at many festivals and venues from Celebrate Memphis (being one of 4 headliners)\, AmericanaFest\, and many more. She has recorded at Dark Horse Studios\, Sun Studios\, and Ardent Studios. Bailey has also been recognized as a top ten up-and-coming Americana artist you should be listening to by Memphis Magazine. \nFollowing Bailey’s first record “Closer to Home\,” she released her second EP\, “Between The Pages.” This EP was engineered by Jessica Willis and released by the University of Memphis record label\, BlueTOMRecords. \nXaris Waltman’s mother claims she was humming tunes before she could talk. As a young child\, Xaris picked up her dad’s guitar and discovered a deep connection to folk songs. Xaris loved how the songs had lives of their own and have been telling the same stories for generations. Xaris still feels the same way. Relaying these stories to audiences during her shows makes her feel like she’s doing something bigger than herself. \nIn 2019\, at nineteen years old\, Xaris released an album of old-time songs titled “Under The Willow” with BigTone Records. Right out of high school\, Xaris began traveling the country solo; just a girl and her guitar. Playing listening rooms\, living rooms\, and festivals\, she has captured the people of small-town America’s ears with her melodious\, high-toned voice.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Kafé Kirk with special guest Dave Koz
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, a monthly jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This month’s performance will feature saxophonist Dave Koz. \nThis show will feature two performances — a matinee at 4 pm and an evening show at 7 pm. VIP tickets will ONLY be available for the 4 pm performance. \nGeneral admission tickets\, 4 pm — $50\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $70\nDoors open at 3 pm for VIP and 3:30 pm for general seating | Show at 4 pm\n*** VIP experience has been relocated to the black box of the theater. The VIP experience includes a signed copy of a Kirk Whalum CD and a meet-and-greet. \nGeneral admission tickets\, 7 pm — $50 \nAbout Kirk Whalum:\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring … these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston 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 No. 1 album. Kirk and Bob also received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. \nAfter 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). \nAbout Dave Koz:\nIn a recording career that spans nearly three decades\, saxophonist Dave Koz has racked up an astoundingly impressive array of honors and achievements: nine GRAMMY® nominations\, 11 No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart\, numerous world tours\, 13 sold-out Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruises\, performances for multiple U.S. presidents\, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, and appearances on a multitude of television shows\, including “Good Morning America\,” “The View\,” “The Tonight Show\,” “Entertainment Tonight\,” and more. A Platinum-selling artist\, Koz is also known as a humanitarian\, entrepreneur\, radio host\, and instrumental music advocate.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Lynn Cardona in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by contemporary jazz and soul artist Lynn Cardona. \nLynn Cardona is a contemporary jazz and soul artist living in Los Angeles\, where she pens unguarded songs about love: the unrequited\, the returned and ecstatic\, the slow burn of longing and lust. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nLynn Cardona is a contemporary jazz and soul artist living in Los Angeles\, where she pens unguarded songs about love: the unrequited\, the returned and ecstatic\, the slow burn of longing and lust. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \n“[Ophelia] features an absolutely gorgeous and moving vocal performance\, the best of this disc. “Don’t you know how far I’d go for love?”“\n– Michael Doherty\, Michael’s Music Log \n“If jazz songs can be likened to paintings\, then “Ophelia” is comprised of the most delicate execution of pointillism.”\n– Dodie Miller Gould\, Lemonwire \n“In only three compelling\, heart on her sleeve songs\, gossamer voiced soul-jazz singer songwriter invites us into a fascinating interior world\, where she’s unashamed to address suicidal thoughts and her slow emergence from a dark emotional time.”\n– Jonathan Widran\, JW Vibe \n“Lynn Cardona introduces us to her rich voice and accessible songwriting skills.. Her dainty voice works well on the upbeat “A Little Too Late” and she can get vulnerable on the title track.”\n– George Harris\, Jazz Weekly \n“Cardona drops an EP about various facets of love in the soul/jazz groove she’s been mining to good effect in the past. Her version of healing music\, perhaps it will shine a light for others in the same situation.”\n– Chris Spector\, Midwest Record \nIt’s Cardona’s voice—girlish\, dreamily viscous\, and reminiscent of Blossom Dearie—that first draws you in. But you soon find yourself saturated in her world\, one where nostalgia and desire fill the space like rising floodwaters. \nMuch of this is due to the poetry that patters through Cardona’s lyrics\, tugging you deeper and deeper out to sea. For example\, in her new EP\, Ophelia\, Cardona sings in the titular song\, “I’ve said this all before but now I swear it\, please dare it\, don’t you know how far I’d go for love….” She wrote the song in a single night during which she found herself wanting to end her life after the dissolution of her relationship with a long-time lover. Despite the heaviness of the subject matter\, “Ophelia” has a light-hearted feel\, conveying the haunting juxtaposition between what’s felt and what’s shown on the outside. \nFollowing the end of her relationship\, Cardona moved around the world to Seoul\, South Korea\, to escape her memories. The other two songs on Ophelia\, “A Little Too Late” and “Mother Earth” were written during this period of recovery. \n“A Little Too Late” is a tribute to a fleeting but life-changing love affair with a man named Joe\, whom she fell for shortly after her breakup and whom she credits as pulling her out of her dark depression. Cardona sings\, “In just autumn when the leaves all beg the trees to let them go… Maybe he loved me because he let me go\, but it’s a little too late\,” about her brave decision to leave Joe behind and travel alone to South Korea in search of healing. \n“Mother Earth” explores Cardona’s ambivalent feelings about the idea of becoming a mother. Ultimately\, the song celebrates the resilience and nurturing that both Mother Earth and women embody despite the abuses of mankind. \nBefore her musical career\, Cardona grew up in Cleveland\, Ohio\, and moved to Memphis\, Tennessee\, shortly after graduating high school. Over the following decade\, she cut her teeth performing in the southern city\, where she learned from Memphis’ incredible musicians and artists. Eventually\, after her stint in South Korea\, she made her way to Los Angeles. \nCardona enlisted some of the top talent in Southern California to help her with this project. Produced by guitarist DORI AMARILIO\, she’s backed by widely respected pianist and composer JOSH NELSON\, who is a recording artist\, composer\, and educator who has performed with some of the biggest names in jazz. He has recorded for countless albums\, films\, and T.V. shows\, as well as releasing seven CDs as a leader. She first heard Nelson on the radio shortly after moving to Los Angeles in 2012. “He let the music breathe\, and he added to it with such grace and elegance\,” says Cardona. “I was thrilled that Josh agreed to work with me. He was so incredibly busy\, that it took a full year of scheduling and rescheduling until we could nail down a rehearsal and a recording date. He was an absolute dream to work with\, and I would wait another year to do it again.” \nShe’s also backed by bass player DAVE ROBAIRE\, who is a professor of Jazz Studies at California State University\, Northridge’s prestigious music school and is the Manager of Music at Sam First\, one of Los Angeles’s most important venues for creative music. On drums is DAN SCHNELLE\, one of the busiest\, sought-after musicians in the Los Angeles area. Amarilio brought on board MICHAEL HUNTER to play flugelhorn. Hunter has performed with the likes of Stanley Clarke\, Kamasi Washington\, and Lenny Kravitz\, among many others. And guitarist NOZOMI YAMAGUCHI is a dear friend of Cardona. “He was an integral part of giving this record a sound all its own\, since he brings a more soulful rhythmic approach to these songs\,” says Cardona. \nHer upcoming EP\, Secret Crush\, reveals Cardona’s sexier side\, blending her contemporary jazz style with more pop and soul than her previous work. Secret Crush was produced by GRAMMY award winning producer SAM BARSH\, who’s written for and played piano on records by the likes of Aloe Black\, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson Paak. \nCardona wears her heart on her sleeve. Her emotions\, vulnerable and exposed\, flow through her music like a gentle stream. Her voice is sinuous and lyrical\, and the musicianship on these three tunes is superb. As Cardona puts it\, “I want my music to convey the nuances of the experiences I’ve had. I want listeners to feel that they can relate to me on the deepest level.”

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Pecha Kucha: Crosstown Arts Resident Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts resident artists Brian Pera\, Lawrence Matthews\, Clare Johnson\, Khari Wynn\, Tadasuke Jinno\, and Johnathan Payne will discuss their work in a Pecha Kucha-style artist talk. \nThe Crosstown Arts residency program offers multidisciplinary residencies to visiting and Memphis-based artists and curators\, working in any creative discipline including visual and performing arts\, music\, film\, and writing in all genres. \nThe key to Pecha Kucha is the 20×20 format: all presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each\, making each presentation concise and dynamic. If you’re wondering what “Pecha Kucha” means\, it draws its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat.” \nPecha Kucha Nights began in Tokyo as an opportunity for artists\, designers and architects to show samples of their work through a concise\, timed presentation in a relaxed community setting. Over the past 10 years\, these events have expanded to hundreds of cities across the globe\, and often include a variety of community members sharing a wide array of interesting (and sometimes hilarious) topics.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED  Crosstown Arthouse presents Black Orpheus
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nBlack Orpheus is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice\, set in the streets of Rio during Carnival. When released in 1959\, Black Orpheus was an arthouse hit\, driven by incredible cinematography\, location\, and bossa nova music. \nOnly later\, people started to re-examine Black Orpheus\, its popularity\, and its audience — especially the idea of an all-black cast being shoehorned into a Greek myth through the lens of a white French director. Despite its complications and glossing-over of what life was like for the poor in Rio\, Black Orpheus is\, without doubt\, a cultural milestone and an influence on later works in film and music. Black Orpheus is another one of those award-winning films everyone is supposed to see\, but in this case\, seriously\, you should come see it! \nMarcel Camus/1959/107 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED A Change of Tone\, a Music Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nIn A Change of Tone\, musicians will “exhibit” new work in one venue while performing in another\, creating a non-traditional listening experience. \nThe goal of A Change of Tone is to invite artists to sonically and musically explore the varied interrelations between technical musical themes and humanity: what we experience\, observe\, believe\, and imagine within the realms of our intellectual capabilities. \nAdmission is free (but donations of any amount are suggested); please RSVP on Eventbrite\nDoors at 7 pm | Performances beginning each night at 7:30 pm \nLineup:\nSaturday\, April 18 – NICHOLAS MALONEY\nSaturday\, April 19 – GUNTER GAUPP\nMonday\, April 20 – THE ACHELOIS COLLECTIVE \n\nABOUT THE EVENT:\nDuring this event\, there will be two live-feed interconnections between The Green Room music venue at Crosstown Arts and Crosstown Theater. The first feed will be an audio feed for the audience in The Green Room\, as the musicians\, out of sight\, perform their original work in the empty Crosstown Theater. The second feed will video-capture The Green Room audience so the performing musicians in the Theater may virtually watch and technically perform for their audience on the screen. The audience in The Green Room will be informed in advance that they will be watched by the performing musicians in the theater\, creating an immersive environment in which the performers’ new music might achieve a vivid and seemingly living omnipresence. \nSimilar to the experience of being inside a haunted house or abandoned building\, this spectral approach to auditory perception will be\, among other things\, a sonic experiment in vulnerability. It will be an attempt to enhance and heighten the audio-sensory experience for the listener and perhaps will intensify the presence and impact that music can have when our fight-or-flight response is instinctively activated\, giving the sounds we hear the power to demand our full attention. \n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nNicholas Maloney:\nNicholas Maloney is a sound artist\, multi-instrumentalist\, performer\, and recording engineer from Jackson\, Mississippi. Working primarily in the areas of drone\, ambient\, musique concrète\, and electroacoustics\, Nicholas creates recordings that he feels can provoke emotion\, while at the same time offering a palette of sound that can be used to practice the rewarding act of deep listening. He looks to challenge the listeners’ focus and perception of sound. Much of his work explores the textural nature of sound within a framework of progressing and evolving compositions. He is interested in the interaction among texture\, sound\, and space. \nUnder his full name\, Nicholas Maloney creates and releases compositions using field recordings\, found sounds\, and a variety of processing and audio transformation techniques. He also records under the moniker\, Blanket Swimming\, exploring the more melodic and ambient side of experimental music using guitar\, synthesizers\, tape manipulation\, field recordings\, voice\, and other instrumentation. Maloney also records under the name Sleep Silver Lightning\, exploring compositions for the guitar and voice. In 2015\, Maloney co-founded the net-label Warm Milk Recordings with Whitson Ramsey. \nGunter Gaupp:\nGunter is a composer and teacher based in Memphis\, who’s work combines interests in noise composition and genre music. Born in Louisiana\, Gunter’s recent work maintains a connection to jazz and folk traditions in his approach to melody and harmony\, while exploring new possibilities through extended technique and graphic notation. His music has been premiered recently in Chicago and Green Bay\, as well as internationally in Vienna and Paris. Gunter completed his MM in 2019 at the University of Memphis\, where he studied composition under Kamran Ince and John Baur. More recently\, Gunter has begun teaching music to middle and high school students at Memphis Rise Academy. Gunter will be presenting his new work for A Change of Tone as a quintet\, featuring Aaron Phillips (saxophone)\, Anna Welden (voice)\, Bryan Pallotta (piano)\, Michael Todd (percussion)\, and Ben Walsh (double bass). \nThe Achelois Collective:\nThe Achelois Collective is a contemporary chamber ensemble dedicated to helping co-design opportunities to create healthier communities through the art of new music. The ensemble’s 10 members are featured as composers\, collaborators\, chambers musicians\, and soloists who hail from across the continental U.S. Established in the summer of 2019\, TAC seeks to elevate\, celebrate\, and embolden female/non-binary voices in modern music and to support projects by artists of under-acknowledged backgrounds and nationalities. \nIn an effort to assist the world of classical music to become more egalitarian\, TAC creates spaces for active participation and appreciation for audiences of all genders\, ages and musical knowledge. Equally important\, the Collective strives to represent within themselves a model of respect and appreciation for the unique abilities and perspectives of their members and collaborators.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents The Muthers
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nWe can’t say it better than the incredible American Genre Film Archive\, who are lovingly saving films like this for folks like us to show again in all their glory on a giant screen! \nSays the American Genre Film Archive: “Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson\, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines\, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny’s exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco’s living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams\, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas\, get sent to a women’s prison presided over by a sadistic warden\, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words\, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you’ll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” \nCirio Santiago/1976/93 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Morgan James: Memphis Magnetic Tour at Crosstown Arts
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents Morgan James’ Memphis Magnetic Tour in The Green Room. \nTickets: $20 General Admission | $50 VIP with artist meet & greet\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nMemphis Magnetic is the third studio album from soul singer Morgan James. This album is a love letter to one of the great American birthplaces of soul. Rooted in her love of Aretha Franklin\, Al Green\, and Otis Redding\, Morgan James delivers as only she can. The Memphis Magnetic Tour will be a feast for the ears and the heart\, from the soul of a great artist with a love for what is real and true in American music. \nLet’s start with the voice\, an instrument through which she can communicate anything. A gift bestowed upon her that she has expertly trained\, meticulously nurtured\, and passionately galvanized into action by an urgency to make real music. Next\, the stories\, and she has them in spades. They are full of truth and beauty\, heartache and thoughtfulness. They reveal colors we weren’t expecting to see. They make us close our eyes and relate. And finally\, the soul – the emotional and intellectual energy through which these parts are fueled. That special something that prompted The Wall Street Journal to herald her as “the most promising young vocalist to come along so far this century.” That young vocalist is Morgan James. And Morgan James is a soul singer. \nArmed with her dedication to create authentic soul music\, James and her husband Doug Wamble\, her producer\, co-writer\, and arranger\, spent months writing twelve new songs in New York City. “Doug and I have always wanted to make a classic record like this\,” she says. “Doug is originally from Memphis and we are both so inspired by the roots of classic soul music. Being entrenched in a place like that really informs everything you make there.” So\, instead of recording in New York\, she aimed straight for the source and booked a week at a new music studio in Memphis\, at the recommendation of drummer George Sluppick. \nShe immediately connected with the space: Memphis Magnetic\, a renovated old bank transformed into a classic recording studio\, decked out with a collection of vintage Nashville gear by owner Scott McEwen. The space exemplified exactly what James wanted her album to be: something new through the prism of something old. She and Wamble assembled a group of local musicians\, including Sluppick\, organist Al Gamble\, bassist Landon Moore\, and pianist Alvie Givhan. They tapped legendary Memphis musicians Reverend Charles Hodges and Leroy Hodges\, who were the backbone of the Hi Records rhythm section\, which played with Al Green and Ann Peebles\, to contribute to two tracks. And finally\, the team was rounded out with a classic Memphis horn section\, plus the amazing Memphis String Quartet. \n“What I’ve learned over the years is to hire great people and let them do what they do best\,” says James. “We came in with all the music charted and ready and left space for people to be themselves and infuse it with their own magic. I really wanted every single person involved in the album to be from Memphis and to channel the great albums I admire so much. From every end of the spectrum\, in every department\, it felt like the right people.” \nThe entire album was recorded to analog tape\, a first for James. She wanted to be less precious about the process overall and to capture the same invigorated feeling as her live performances. Much of the album comes from single\, complete takes\, giving it a vibrant\, in-the-moment sensibility. The songs on the album range in tone\, but there’s a hopeful\, life-affirming feeling that threads through the tracks. The playful “I Wish You Would” takes its cues from “Mr. Big Stuff\,” while “All I Ever Gave You” looks back on losing someone after endless sacrifices. The album also features two duets\, another first for James\, with Marc Broussard and three-time Grammy nominee Ryan Shaw. The collaboration with Shaw\, “I Don’t Mind Waking Up (To A Love This Good)” is the first single and a song James calls one of her favorites she’s ever written. And a standout moment comes on the closing track “Who’s Going to Listen To You? (When You’re Crying Now)\,” a song James and Wamble wrote with lyrics from a poem by Spin Doctors’ lead singer Chris Barron. It creates a poignant and heart-wrenching final note for the album\, a collection of genuine\, satisfying songs that embrace the best of American songwriting. The experience was so inspiring and affirming that James ended up titling the album Memphis Magnetic after the studio where it was made (an homage to Jimi Hendrix and his Electric Ladyland). \nFor James\, Memphis Magnetic is the culmination of a life-long love affair with music. She grew up listening to everyone from Joni Mitchell to Paul Simon to Prince to Aretha Franklin\, cultivating an insatiable love for strong songwriters. After graduating from The Juilliard School with a classical music degree\, and performing in the original companies of four Broadway productions\, James began writing and recording her own music. Meeting her mentor Berry Gordy\, Jr. led to a record deal at Epic Records\, where she recorded and released her solo album Hunter in 2014. In addition to her studio albums\, James recorded and released a full album cover of Joni Mitchell’s seminal Blue as well as The Beatles’ White Album in 2018 to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Through her unique and varied career\, there have been many ups and downs\, but James cites her failures as more important than her successes in shaping the artist she is today. \nAfter her tenure with Epic Records\, she took charge of her career from the business side as well. She cultivated a new world of fans with her viral YouTube videos\, and while connecting with them on social media and at her live shows\, she found the support and strength to go out on her own as an independent artist. Over the last several years\, James has built her own empire and established herself as a touring powerhouse\, allowing her to raise the funds to create her albums and make every decision from the ground up. \n“This album feels so unburdened by anybody or anything. All of the songs were written for this project. They were recorded in the same way\, in the same room. It’s a moment in time captured. I felt like I was a part of the lineage of soul music. My guiding force throughout the record was ‘What would Aretha say? What would Otis say?’ It’s not a retro album or a throwback by any means. This album is me: classic elements\, timeless melodies\, and lyrics from my soul and experience. We need that right now. We need real music now more than ever.”
