SUMMARY:Black Cream with Abe Partridge
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance by Memphis-based soul group Black Cream with opening act Abe Partridge (a singer/songwriter from Alabama). \nTickets: $5\nDoors open at 7:30 pm | Performance at 8 pm \n\nAbout Black Cream:\nBlack Cream is a newly formed conglomerate of some of Memphis’ musical prodigies. Lead guitarist and good soul TO Crivens flies high with his attention to feel and detail during his solos that make the room stand still. \nThe Band is anchored by bassist\, Dr. Derek Brassel\, the coolest cat in every room\, is unofficially certified as the groove doctor and his bass lines are spell binding. On drums and vocals\, Courtney Barnes displays jaw-dropping skill and vocal finesse\, oftime harmonizing with his brother\, Chris Barnes\, who rounds out the Black Cream team on vocals and percussion with the charismatic presence of a baptist preacher and the vocal abilities of your favorite soul crooner. \n\nAbout Abe Partidge:\nAbe Partridge is a singer/songwriter and visual folk artist from Mobile\, AL. People have said that Abe Partridge sounds older than his chronological age\, and there’s a very good reason for that – he’s packed a lot of living into his 37 years. \nThose experiences\, ranging from the earthy to the surreal\, the spiritual light to the depths of depression\, come together with gripping intensity on Partridge’s second full-length album\, Cotton Fields and Blood for Days. Over the course of ten songs\, this troubadour draws listeners in with a combination of southern gothic storytelling and a dark humor reminiscent of the late Townes Van Zandt – delivered in a gravelly tone that conjures up images of Tom Waits in his barstool warming days.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Weekly Film Series: Ladies and Gentleman\, The Fabulous Stains
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Weekly Film Series is an arthouse-style film series showcasing a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp.\nTickets are $5 (at the door only) \nLADIES AND GENTLEMEN\, THE FABULOUS STAINS (NARRATIVE\, 1982)  \nLadies and Gentlemen\, The Fabulous Stains is the story of Corinne Burns (Diane Lane)\, a  recently orphaned 17-year-old girl whose life is almost instantly changed through a happenstance interview with the local news.

SUMMARY:Songwriters in the Round
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for Songwriters in the Round\, featuring Will Sexton\, Marcella Simien\, and Delta Joe Sanders. \n\n\nTickets: $10\nDoors open at 7:00pm\nPerformance at 7:30pm \n\nAbout the musicians: \n \nWill Sexton\nWill is a respected artist\, songwriter\, and producer with a list of acclaimed solo albums to his name. Keeping his old ties deep in the heart of Texas\, Will now calls Memphis home with his wife\, singer-songwriter Amy LaVere. Will and Amy have been touring and playing together for a couple of years and have a full schedule playing in the U.S. and Europe in the coming months. Their new CD\, Hallelujah\, I’m A Dreamer is spare and tight\, showcasing Will and Amy’s fine playing styles and beautiful harmonies. \n\n \nMarcella Simien\nAs Willie Mitchell’s son\, the Memphis legend Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell puts it\, “[Simien is] one of the most soulful artists I’ve heard since the glory days of Memphis soul music. Her sound and stage presence are constant reminders that soul music is still alive and well.” \nIn 2015\, Bill Bentley (L.A. Weekly\, Warner Bros. Records\, Vanguard Records) reviewed Marcella and Her Lovers debut EP release on themortonreport.com. Bentley said “Marcella Simien heard it all as a youngster\, no doubt\, and once she double-downed with the Memphis sound\, she found a totally striking new attack on Southern soul.” \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \nDelta Joe\n“Joe Sander’s heart is shaped like Mississippi. Through it runs a Big Blue River spawning tributaries and capillaries like snakes\, gentle but dangerous — above which hands kudzu\, wisteria\, and other strange vegetation unnameable except by some half-mad\, half-genius horticulturist. His tunes are rare Delta Thundersong birds (endangered and exotic) rising from the mud Byhalian and Greenwooded\, strong meat for most of us who lift our beaks for the plastic manna in squared cellophane. Some of his brilliance pops up unnoticed – queer mushrooms grafted amongst our quotidian grapes\, teaching our souls to say ‘more’ while our understanding reels backward. Joe offers no gratuitous sanctuary. Listening\, one must braid one’s own thread into rope and knead one’s own bread into baked buckets – then dip into th eliving water of Joe’s Big Blue River.” Grace and Peace – John Kilzer \nDelta Joe Sanders has been a regular in the Memphis music scene for the past 30 years. From the church house to the out house\, he plays every venue from the Whiskey A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip to the Sugar Ditch Social Club in Tunica County. Delta Joe has kept country blues alive. A consummate story teller\, Joe sometimes uses common Blues themes to spin his yarns. Songs of lost love\, liquor\, and bad behavior fill his repertoire. Some are romantic odes colored with southern imagery often with a skewed nostalgic sentiment —“I never did like this beautiful old place.” Some make bold statements of pious\, prophetic poignancy\,” I am gonna quit drinking after the Super Bowl.”

SUMMARY:Workshop Series — Simultaneous Contrast: Experiments with Color
DESCRIPTION:Lifeworks\, in conjunction with Crosstown Arts\, is pleased to host Los Angeles-based artist\, Pamela Jorden\, to lead a painting workshop.  In Simultaneous Contrast: Experiments with Color\, Jorden will guide participants through considerations of color\, texture\, and unexpected juxtapositions that inspire experimentation with paint and process.  \nRegistration fee $125 (materials not included). Lunch will be provided.\nSpace is limited. To register please email laurel@crosstownarts.org. \nWorkshop Description:\nAt Black Mountain College\, Joseph Albers gave his students an exercise called the matière inviting them to explore their surroundings and collect materials\, paying close attention to their visual and tactile qualities. Matières are ephemeral sculptural arrangements comprised of found materials. Amy Sillman and Munro Galloway created an assignment called Color Walk that asks participants to wander within their environment following a color or colors considering the use\, context\, and associations related to specific colors or combinations. Both exercises encourage careful consideration of what might usually be overlooked and ask the observer to notice context and contrast\, similarity and difference.\n\nInspired by these prompts\, participants in this workshop will be asked to take a walk in a particular location that influences how they think about their artwork. Participants will be asked to observe color and texture and the material qualities of this location and to bring found materials back into the studio.  Consideration of color\, texture\, and unexpected juxtapositions will inspire our experimentations with paint and process. Further instruction and suggested reading to follow. \nThis event is supported by Lifeworks in conjunction with Crosstown Arts. \nAbout the artist:\nPamela Jorden (b. 1969\, Knoxville\, TN) received her BFA from University of Tennessee\, Knoxville in 1992 and her MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 1996. Recent exhibitions include The Day in the Night with Katy Cowan at Philip Martin Gallery in Los Angeles. Jorden has had solo exhibitions at Klaus Von Nichtssagend Gallery (New York\, NY); Romer Young Gallery (San Francisco\, CA); David Patton Los Angeles (Los Angeles\, CA); and Mason Gross Art Gallery\, Rutgers University (New Brunswick\, NJ).  \nSelected group exhibitions include Around Flat\, Knockdown Center (Maspeth\, NY); NOW-ISM: Abstraction Today at the Pizzuti Collection (Columbus\, Ohio); Alice Konitz\, Pamela Jorden\, Jeff Ono at Samuel Freeman Gallery (Los Angeles\, CA); Forms of Abstraction at the Irvine Fine Arts Center (Irvine\, CA). Her work has been reviewed in numerous print and online publications including Art Forum\, Art in America\, ArtNews\, and ArtPractical. \n A monograph\, Pamela Jorden 2004-2014\, with an essay by Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer and a conversation with Kaveri Nair and Alice Könitz has been released through Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery and Black Dog Publishing. She lives and works in Los Angeles\, CA.

SUMMARY:Garrison Starr & LOLO at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:The secret is out! Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for an intimate\, acoustic performance from Garrison Starr and LOLO. \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Performance at 7 pm \n\nAbout Garrison Starr:\nMemphian Garrison Starr is a full-time songwriter now living in Los Angeles. Her songs have been featured on numerous films\, TV shows\, and commercials. In 2016\, Starr collaborated with long time friend\, Margaret Cho\, and produced “American Myth.” The album was nominated for a Grammy in the Comedy category. \nGarrison’s love for truth-telling\, good whiskey\, and human connection has made her a darling of the singer-songwriter world. \nAbout LOLO:\nFrom Jackson\, TN\, LOLO is a show-stopping singer who has “so much music flowing through [her] that it fills two people” (Associated Press). She has proven herself a venerable songwriter\, from penning hits for Panic! At The Disco’s recent #1 blockbuster album to writing a New York Times raved about off-Broadway musical\, “Songbird”. \nHer album\, In Loving Memory of When I Gave a Shit\, is a come-to-Jesus moment for the songstress who moved back to Tennessee after exploring her path on the stages of New York and time in London – a literal reflection of LOLO’s journey on the road back home. With a daring and emotionally charged voice\, her music evokes a hot southern night – rough around the edges but with a velvety quality that soothes the soul.
