SUMMARY:Citizen Cope
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert by soul singer-songwriter Citizen Cope on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater on Tuesday\, June 18. \nDoors at 7 pm | performance at 8 pm\nTickets: $41 — purchase on Eventbrite\n$1 from each ticket sale will be donated to charity \nAbout Citizen Cope’s latest album\, Heroin & Helicopters:\nAsk him how he knew it was time to record a new studio album\, and Clarence Greenwood\, the trailblazing artist and producer better known as Citizen Cope\, has a simple answer: “It was time.” \nCope has built an entire career on trusting his gut and following his muse\, and if his new album\, ‘Heroin & Helicopters\,’ is any indication\, his instincts are sharper now than ever before. As technically innovative as it is emotionally resonant\, the record arrives at a uniquely challenging moment in modern American culture\, when profound political polarization and social divisions seem to grow deeper by the day. Rather than dwell on our differences\, though\, Cope tunes in to what unites us here\, drawing on everything from Chuck Brown and The Beatles to Randy Newman and Bill Withers\, aiming his unique brand of urban-folk inwards to reflect on the personal journeys we all undertake to embrace ourselves despite our flaws. \nWhile ‘Heroin & Helicopters’ feels particularly timely\, the record’s themes have been fixtures of Cope’s music since the release of his self-titled debut in 2002. That album was the culmination of years of pursuing his passion. Cope got his musical start in DC before moving to Brooklyn\, where he wrote songs while supporting himself on the streets\, buying and selling concert and sporting tickets with a cast of characters outside arenas and stadiums. His music spread from fan-to-fan via word of mouth\, and over the course of time his songs have become the soundtrack of his fans lives.

SUMMARY:Pecha Kucha: Resident Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts summer session resident artists Lucy McKeon\, Steve Bellin-Oka\, Nick Peña\, Pamela Allen\, and Pete Hoffecker Mejía will present artist talks in the Pecha Kucha style. \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.

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) \nAMERICAN POP (NARRATIVE\, 1981) \nRalph Bakshi produced and directed this sweeping animated story of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family all trying to make it in the music business. American Pop incorporates most of what made Bakshi famous\, including rotoscoping\, primitive computer graphics\, live-action film\, archival film\, and still paintings. \nThe soundtrack is almost one million licensing dollars worth of classic rock that\, much of the time\, is incongruent with Bakshi’s imagery – most especially in the penultimate scene when a drug-dealing\, songwriting member of the family plays “Night Moves” to get the attention of the musicians and producers he was providing drugs to. With Lee Ving of FEAR as “Punk Rocker #1” – CAN’T MISS!!! \nWatch the trailer

SUMMARY:Freedom Day with Karen Brown
DESCRIPTION:Come hear the soulful sounds of Karen Brown and her band at The Green Room as we celebrate Black Music Month. Karen Brown will usher in the soul and victorious celebration of African American historical holiday\, Freedom Day! \nTickets: $15 advance | $20 door\nDoors at 7 pm | performance at 7:30 pm \nAfrican Americans have a uniquely painful history with American Independence Day (July 4th). In the United States\, the ideas of liberty and freedom ring in the hearts of African Americans but often feel conflicting with the historical and ongoing oppression of Black Americans since the country’s inception. Although many African Americans began celebrating “Emancipation Day” during the American Revolution\, Juneteenth is special holiday for African Americans since it marks the first time that Black Americans were actually\, legally “free.” \nAbout Juneteenth:\nOn January 1\, 1863\, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which was meant to legally free slaves. However\, due to slow communication processes and the realities of such an emotive war\, it took two years for the war to actually end\, following Lincoln’s proclamation. Even once the war was officially concluded\, many Texas slave owners refused to acknowledge the end of the war and slavery\, seeking to continue their plantations (and free labor force) for as long as possible. \nHowever\, on June 19th\, 1865\, Union Soldiers\, led by Major General Gordon Granger\, entered Galveston\, TX and officially announced that ALL slaves were freed — thus\, Juneteenth was born. \nJuneteenth is a celebration of the actual emancipation of Black Americans from slavery. It is often celebrated with fish fries\, dancing\, and fellowship with other members of the diaspora. Unfortunately\, despite its apparent historical significance\, the holiday is still not nationally recognized. As a result\, few Americans recognize the important holiday and many African Americans are not able to celebrate. However\, other Black Americans take the day off to celebrate this historic day with family and friends.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with special guest Jonathan Butler
DESCRIPTION:Join 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 guest: Jonathan Butler\, Grammy-winning contemporary jazz musician from South Africa. \nDoors at 5 pm | performance at 6 pm \nGeneral admission tickets — $45\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $60 \n\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 Jonathan Butler:\nThe youngest of 13 children\, Jonathan Butler grew up in Cape Town\, South Africa\, ruled by Apartheid and segregation. Butler began his singing career at age 7\, releasing his first album in 1973 and winning the Best New Artist Grammy in South Africa the following year at age 12. He made history by being the first black artist played on white South African radio while earning three gold records (“Please Stay” went double gold and “I Love How You Love Me” went gold) in 1975 as he became a teenager. \nMore than a decade later\, Butler moved to London\, England after signing with Jive Records and released his first album internationally. The self-titled set went gold in 1987 in the United Kingdom and in the USA. He received Grammy nominations for Best R&B Song for his R&B-pop vocal hit “Lies” and for Best Jazz Song for the instrumental “Going Home.” His genre-busting material earned songwriter’s awards and received abundant airplay in multiple radio formats: pop\, urban\, contemporary jazz\, adult contemporary and gospel. Butler’s 2004 album\, Surrender\, went gold in South Africa where he remains a superstar. \nHe launched the Jonathan Butler Foundation in his native country to fund music education programs that give children the purpose to overcome a life of drugs and poverty just as he did. The music and arts programs serving South African children ages 4-17 operate with the mission statement\, “Purpose kills addiction.”

SUMMARY:Sweet Soul Restorative: Yoga & Live Music
DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself to the gift of restorative yoga with live music. This workshop focuses on the breath\, supported yoga poses\, and gentle somatic movements. Live music\, vibrational sound\, and healing touch will sustain and deepen your experience. \nPay what you can (suggested donation $10) \nYoga postures (asana) are supported with blankets\, blocks\, and bolsters to achieve total relaxation of the body/mind. These supported yoga poses are coupled with gentle somatic movements that will alternately stimulate the brain and relax the body to move toward balance. Somatic movements focus on the developmental movement patterns we experienced as growing infants. They will be primarily performed on the floor and on all fours. \nPhysiologically these movements reconnect the neural pathways in the brain\, allowing us to gain more body/mind awareness. Long deep breathing and other rejuvenating breath work will be integral to the practice. The healing vibrational sounds of live music will support the practice. A wide range of ancient instruments from around the world combined with modern looping technology are used to weave an atmospheric soundscape. The music works twofold: first\, it gives the mind a place to focus as the body begins to relax and open; second\, the vibratory nature of this music is very balancing. \nAbout the instructor/musician:\nSean Murphy and Anne J. Froning formed Being:Art in 2004. Since then\, they’ve traveled throughout the United States designing and teaching dance\, yoga\, and live music workshops. Anne is a multidisciplinary artist: dancer\, visual artist\, teaching artist\, and registered yoga teacher with over 35 years of teaching and performing experience. Sean is a professional musician\, composer\, instrument maker\, teaching artist\, and dance musician with over 20 years performing experience.

SUMMARY:CALL TO MUSICIANS — A Change of Tone: In/Out of Sync
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of live music\nProposal Submission Period: July 9  – September 10\, 2019\nEvent dates: April 18th –  21st\, 2020 \nCrosstown Arts is challenging musical artists to create a body of new work for A Change of Tone\, an exhibition of live music\, applicable to musicians of all genres\, scheduled for April 18th – 21st\, 2020. \nThis four-part\, four-day event will feature a selection of four musical acts\, one act per night\, who will “exhibit” their music for a listening audience over loudspeakers in one venue as they simultaneously perform it in another\, creating a non-traditional listening experience. \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 to listen to\, as the musicians\, out of sight\, perform their original work live in the empty Crosstown Theater auditorium. The second feed will video-capture The Green Room audience for the performing musicians in the Theater to see on a screen\, so that they may virtually watch and technically perform\, for their audience. 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 for the listening audience in which the performers’ new music might achieve a vivid and seemingly living omnipresence. \nSimilar to the experience of being inside of 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\nSubmission Process: \nThe theme of this music exhibition is “In/Out of Sync.” What does it mean to be “in or out of sync”–with something\, with nothing\, with anything…with everything? In what ways do you feel or observe things as being in or out of sync with one another\, and what approach would you envision yourself taking\, musically\, to express these feelings and interpretations as they present themselves within your reality? The 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.  \nMusicians who wish to apply to this musical showcase must submit an original proposal (one or more pages preferred) that explains their vision for the new music they intend to create as it pertains to the “In/Out of Sync” theme. Artists may take any approach to this\, from topics based in society and everyday life\, to the larger natural world and universe\, and may do so through both the lens of these guiding ideas or beyond them.  \nSubmissions are due on Tuesday\, September 10 at noon. \nApply here \n\nInstructions if Selected: \nThis music exhibition is limited to 4 participants. The submissions will be randomly selected by a unique\, curated lottery process\, by which every proposal will be considered; the primary contact(s) for the four selected proposals will be notified of their acceptance and given a performance time slot on Tuesday\, September 24\, at 12pm.  \nMusicians will then use the nearly 7-month period before the A Change of Tone: In/Out of Sync event to create a set of new music\, no less than 45 minutes and no longer than 2 hours in length\, with the intention of performing it live during one of the 4 performance timeframes (randomly assigned). The time slots are as follows*: \nSaturday\, April 18\, 2020 –  7:30pm\nSunday April 19\, 2020 –  7:30pm\nMonday\, April 20\, 2020 –  7:30pm\nTuesday\, April 21\, 2020 –  7:30pm \nSelected participants are encouraged to start creating their sonic and musical works as soon as possible to allow for adequate time for creation and rehearsal. If you are selected\, please do not perform or submit proposals for work that was created prior to this open call (do not submit work created before July 9\, 2019). \nMusicians may also conduct an artist talk or meet-and-greet in the Crosstown Theater auditorium after their performance. This component is optional\, but highly encouraged. \nEach performance will be recorded by a sound engineer and will be given to the artist free of charge\, to use for any purpose. The artists will receive both a stereo room recording and an unmixed\, multitrack version of their performance so that they may create their own personal mix of their performance. All artists selected to perform at the event will also receive: a $125 stipend for each musician within a group of 2 or more individuals; or a $200 stipend for solo musicians.  \nMusic stands will be provided at the venue for artists who would prefer to reference their work during their performance (this is highly encouraged as we are not expecting artists to perfectly memorize such newly created work within the 7-month timeframe). \nCopyright infringement and cover versions are not allowed at this event. \n*If you are selected\, we will try to accommodate as much as possible for any scheduling conflicts\, though unfortunately\, due to the numerous events being hosted by Crosstown Arts in our various venues throughout the year\, this could mean that you may have to forfeit your participation\, and we will have to make another lottery selection in your place. If this happens\, we hope that you will still feel inspired to create new work based on the themes you chose to explore in your proposal. Only one written proposal is allowed per submission\, per artist; proposals can be made on behalf of a solo musician\, or any group of two or more musicians. \nThank you for your proposal submissions. Please contact Lauren Cain at  lauren@crosstownarts.org if you have any questions.
