  • Crosstown Arthouse presents Hell-Bound Train with Live Score by Elizabeth King

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    Crosstown Arts is excited to kick off its post-pandemic return to the Crosstown Arthouse Film Series with a screening of the 1930 silent film Hell-Bound Train with musical accompaniment by Bible & Tire recording artist Elizabeth King. She'll be joined by Will Sexton (guitar), Matt Ross-Spang (guitar), and Will McCarley (percussion).

    Hell-Bound Train was shot by a pair of self-taught Christian evangelists, James and Eloyce Gist, on 16 mm film. The Gists toured Black churches to show the film,  paired with a sermon. Elizabeth King is a Memphis-based gospel singer who, after leaving music for some time to raise a family, has returned at 77 years young to release the extremely well-reviewed, gospel masterpiece Living in the Last Days. Crosstown Arts is thrilled to pair this early example of Black filmmaking with the incomparable voice of Elizabeth King.
