SUMMARY:The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Alberto Lombardi
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists. \nThis series is in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. January’s performance features Italian virtuoso guitarist Alberto Lombardi in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $15\nDoors 7pm | Performance 7:30pm \nItalian virtuoso guitarist Alberto Lombardi is an internationally renowned acoustic solo fingerstyle and electric rock player. His captivating acoustic performances are comprised of elaborate arrangements of great classics both of the Italian and international tradition\, incorporating fingerpicking\, flatpicking\, some looping and singing\, but also original songs and compositions. \nHe toured extensively in Europe and USA\, playing major guitar festivals like Muriel Anderson’s All Star gui/tar Night\, Peter Finger’s International Guitar Night\, Chet Atkins Appreciation Society\, Sarzana and also in clubs like NYC Rockwood music hall and Nashville’s City Winery. \nIncluded among the eight guitarists to watch in 2018 by Vintage Guitar Magazine and among the best ten emerging fingerstyle guitarists in the world by Guitar Masters Poland\, Alberto is a Taylor Guitars and B&G guitars supported artist. \nHis arrangement of “Volare” gained Stefan Grossman’s attention\, resulting in Grossman releasing an instructional video of Alberto’s work. Alberto then went on to release multiple albums and instructional videos for Stefan Grossman and Peter Finger. His records have received many great reviews\, first of all from the master himself Tommy Emmanuel (“It sounds beautiful \,and your playing and arrangements are very powerful! Big admiration to you!”)\, but also from renowned magazines such as Acoustic Guitar\, Fingerstyle Journal\, Vintage guitar\, Minor 7th\, Chitarra acustica. \nAs an electric soloist\, Alberto has rocked stages as big as Italian Stadiums like Olimpico and San Siro\, or Pavillao Atlantico in Lisboa. He’s now touring with the Alberto Lombardi Stratocaster tribute\, interpreting all the great music performed on the Strat by legends like Clapton\, Hendrix\, Gilmour\, SRV\, etc. \nHis arrangements are very personal\, derived from the different musical experiences Alberto has in rock\, jazz\, country\, and pop as a session player. Yet they’re rooted in the style of the great Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel. He digs into complex arrangements of Italian and american classics\, translating them on the guitar (Georgia on my mind\, Volare\, ‘O Sole Mio)\, picking up clever harmonic movements from those great arrangers and composers and making them his own\, on the six string. \nAlberto has also been a session player\, studio owner and record producer/arranger/mixer for 25 years\, based in Rome Italy. His collaborations are diverse and range from pop artists like Robbie Dupree and the original singers of the band Chic\, to legend mixing engineer Bob Clearmountain (Springsteen\, Rolling Stones\, Bryan Adams).

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Booker T. Jones at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Booker T. Jones celebrates the release of his memoir\, Time Is Tight\, with a special concert on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. \nTickets: $60\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \nIn an emotional musical journey\, Booker T. will perform the songs that make up the fabric of his musical identity. Booker T. & the M.G.’s staples like “Green Onions” are woven into defining moments from his journey after Stax\, when he produced and recorded with artists as diverse as Bill Withers\, Willie Nelson\, and Carlos Santana. The evening culminates with new original music\, highlighting the soaring guitar and vocals of his son and collaborator Teddy Jones. After the show\, Booker T. will greet fans and sign copies of his memoir\, TIME IS TIGHT. \n\n“Booker T. will forever be known as the Booker T. from Booker T. and the MGs. But this book reveals so much more of the man.”\n—Bob Dylan \n“Booker T. is a great producer\, a great musician\, and a great friend. Those three ‘greats’ together pretty much let you know how I feel about Booker. He and I worked together on many projects\, all were fun—just like this book\, which is as joyful to read as Booker’s music is to listen to.”\n—Willie Nelson \nBooker T Jones is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee\, GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient\, and arguably the most famous Hammond B3 player in history. As leader of the legendary Booker T and the MGs\, this pillar of soul music collaborated with Otis Redding\, Albert King\, and others during his tenure at Stax Records. Since then\, Booker has lent his trademark keyboard chops to and produced classic albums such as Willie Nelson’s multi-platinum hit “Stardust” and Bill Withers’ “Just As I Am” featuring the hit song “Ain’t No Sunshine.” Both Booker’s 2009 solo release “Potato Hole” and his 2011 solo release “The Road From Memphis” won GRAMMY Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

SUMMARY:Ryan Lee Crosby and Grant Smith with Shaun Marsh in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Blues musician Ryan Lee Crosby will perform with George Sluppick (drums) and Grant Smith (calabash and percussion)\, with an opening set by Shaun Marsh. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7 pm | Performance 7:30 pm \n“Ryan Lee Crosby plays the blues with such a fervor he makes you believe that the road to paradise goes straight through the devil’s music.” — Gästeliste \nRyan Lee Crosby’s sound “is an update on the ghostly\, close-to-the-bone approach of Delta bluesman Skip James. But don’t be fooled — the legendary Burnside and Kimbrough clans are among his gurus\, and he’s learned well.” — Nashville Scene \nRyan Lee Crosby is expanding a tradition of Mississippi blues\, combining the Hill Country and Bentonia styles with sounds from North India and West Africa. The Boston-based singer-songwriter returns to the Southern US in January 2020\, following his eighth tour of Europe and a sold-out show at City Winery. \nIn 2019\, Crosby made several pilgrimages to Memphis and Mississippi to meet some of the most celebrated bluesmen in the Delta\, including Bentonia blues legend Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and Duck Hill’s Willie Farmer. During this time\, Crosby also performed at the Bentonia Blues Festival and Clarksdale’s Juke Joint Festival and recorded an album with renowned producer Bruce Watson at his Memphis studio. An accomplished guitarist himself\, Crosby will perform on 12-string and lap style guitars\, backed by Memphis’ own George Sluppick on drums and Boston’s Grant Smith on calabash. Crosby’s performance is an intriguing mix of improvisation\, composition\, and conversation that honors lineage\, while staying true to his own voice. \nRiver Music\, Crosby’s sixth full-length album\, is out now (CosiRecords Schallplatten/Knick Knack Records). Deep Blues (USA) describes River Music as “delightfully dangerous and menacing” and Terrascope (UK) deems it “excellent.” Keys and Chords (Belgium) praises the album as “hypnotic … a pleasant mix.” Rootsville (Belgium) calls River Music “intriguing … the blues seeps through the dynamic vocals and masterful guitar lines of Crosby.” Hippiesland (Germany) says River Music is a “life-affirming… an extraordinary collaboration in world music in the true sense.” \nCrosby has been nominated for two Boston Music Awards and was named “Best Singer/Songwriter” in the 2006 Boston Phoenix/WFNX Radio Music Poll. He composed and performed the film score for the award-winning documentary Racing the Rez (PBS). Crosby tours Europe annually and select US regions\, including recent performances at Mississippi’s renowned Juke Joint\, Bentonia Blues and Deep Blues Festivals. He currently lives in Medford\, Massachusetts\, and performs regularly in the greater Boston area.

SUMMARY:The Reverend Shawn Amos & The Brotherhood in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance by the Rev. Shawn Amos & The Brotherhood in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7pm | Performance 7:30pm \nSince 2018’s acclaimed\, politically charged “The Reverend Shawn Amos Breaks It Down\,” The Rev has been on the road non-stop with The Brotherhood — a cohesive band of legit titans featuring drummer Brady Blade (Buddy & Julie Miller\, Dave Matthews\, Indigo Girls)\, bassist Christopher Thomas (Norah Jones\, Carly Simon\, Macy Gray)\, and the long-time Rev aide-de-camp/guitarist Chris “Doctor” Roberts. All are friends from a life in music who are now gathered on a singular mission. \n2019 also saw The Rev alighting in Texas\, where the South begins\, the West ends\, and something else is taking shape — a world away\, geographically and culturally\, from his native LA. It is in the hill country of Texas where the Rev and the Brotherhood convened for a new recording slated for a 2020 release. Blade\, Thomas\, and Roberts provide not only musical but also spiritual and emotional support for embracing new territory\, artistically and otherwise. \n“All I’m doing is singing and playing harp\,” the Rev says. “I couldn’t imagine making this music with people who are not friends.” \nPrior to emerging as the Reverend in 2013\, folks knew Shawn Amos as producer (Solomon Burke’s Live in Nashville\, and Shout! Factory box set Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones)\, content creator for companies looking for ways to tell their stories on the internet\, and Americana singer-songwriter who’d grown up in a dramatically dysfunctional L.A. home (a story the Rev serialized as Cookies & Milk in the Huffington Post). \nUnlike past Shawn Amos collaborations with Matthew Sweet and Solomon Burke\, the Brotherhood is in it for the long haul. “Everybody feels pride of ownership\,” the Rev says of Blue Sky. The band has already hit the road and will tour through 2020. \n“These songs are really special to Shawn\,” says Brady Blade\, who previously hosted the Rev’s debut album (produced by Mindi Abair) at his Shreveport studio\, and laid down drums. “It’s up to us whether we’re ready to jump in and contribute 150%. If we’re not\, it’s not a brotherhood.” \nClearly\, from the barn-burning blues stomp of “Counting Down the Days” to the smoky R & B of “Water” to the rollicking “27 Dollars\,” the Brotherhood is\, indeed\, down. \nThe material showcases Shawn Amos’ songwriting like no previous Rev outing; here furious\, there vulnerable; here gadabout and crazy\, there forlorn and tender; all buoyed by musicians emboldening a beloved family member. \n“When I first played blues\,” the Rev says\, “I had no interest in writing. I put up a firewall between the Rev and my Americana past.” He’s referring to his three Shawn Amos albums\, lauded singer-songwriter offerings featuring Ray Parker\, Jr.\, Solomon Burke\, and the Jayhawks’ Mark Olson. “But I slowly got the bug again. This is the first time I’ve had the space to try to be more of a singer-songwriter within the confines of the blues.” \nBrady Blade says\, “Brotherhood\, to me\, means togetherness\, being able to interact with each other in a more personal way because it’s not like\, ‘Oh\, he’s my boss. I’m just the side guy.’ The Brotherhood\, in this context with Shawn\, helps drive the music. Because the tension has to be there. Also\, the happiness has to be there. For all of us\, the happiness has definitely come out on this record.” \nHappiness due in part to a creative spirit fully immersed in the work\, able to access and manifest the nitty-gritty because his brothers have his back. “My whole artistic life has been a process of: How do I get all of me to show up?” the Rev says. “I fought hard to be here\, so I’m gonna make sure all of me shows up.”

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents Time and Place
DESCRIPTION:Lee Moses (1941-1998)\, a music prodigy\, is considered one of the greatest unknown musicians among Baby Huey or Sixto Rodriguez (Sugar Man). He was part of a soul scene in Atlanta between the ’60s and the ’70s. His one album\, Time and Place (1971)\, did not take off. During his time in New York\, Moses played with greatest\, including Jimi Hendrix and James Brown. His music has now garnered a community of appreciation. Songs such as “Bad Girl” was used in the 2014 French film House of Tolerance\, and “If Loving You Is A Crime” was used in 2013 American film The Teacher. What makes his story remarkable is there’s not much to be found on Lee Moses. Even in his hometown of Atlanta\, there are no physical traces of him. The locations where Moses once performed no longer exist. TIME AND PLACE aims to connect the time of Lee Moses with the place Atlanta is becoming now.  Simon David/2019/76 minutes \nDirector Simon David will be available for a Q&A after the film. \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) \n

SUMMARY:New Memphis Colorways Album Release Show
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special album release party with Crosstown Art’s own Paul Taylor. He’s releasing his first full-length album — “The Music Stands” — under the nom de plume\, New Memphis Colorways. And he’s assembled a very interesting cast of musical characters for the evening — Susan Marshall & Reba Russell on background vocals\, Pat Harrington on electric guitar\, David Collins on keyboards and auxiliary sounds/textures\, Rob Douglas on bass\, and Kyle Neblitt on the drums. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \nSome of Paul’s friends and musical associates have already chimed in about “The Music Stands”: \n“Paul has really come into his own here. Although the songs are deceptively simple\, there’s a world inside each track. These little musical creations are killer. They will creep up on you. They’ll reach out and grab you. It’s all very soulful. And a little magical too. Kinda proggy. Kind of indie. And utterly impossible to describe. I dig it.” — Chuck Prophet \n“Paul’s out of his damn mind. He conjures more original musical ideas in 12 bars than most musicians do with entire albums. ‘The Music Stands’ finds him\, as always\, accessing strangenesses and welding the unexpected with a singular vision.” — Cory Branan \nHaving put out three releases under his birth name\, including “Open Closed” (2007) & “Share It” (2009)\, both on Makeshift Records\, as well as self-released The Old Forest Trail EP (2015)\, Paul has now embarked on a new project called New Memphis Colorways. New Memphis Colorways more fully embodies the wide-ranging influences from his storied career as a Memphis musician. This moniker debuted with his self-released Old Forest Loop EP (2018) and continues with the forthcoming “The Music Stands\,” due out on 1/31/2020. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening — Suppressed: The Fight to Vote
DESCRIPTION:A new film by Robert Greenwald \nSuppressed: The Fight to Vote is a new documentary by Robert Greenwald (director of Outfoxed\, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price\, and Making a Killing: Guns\, Greed\, & the NRA)\, weaves together personal stories from voters across the state of Georgia to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression in the 2018 midterm election where Stacey Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor in the U.S. The issues Georgians faced included polling place closures\, voter purges\, missing absentee ballots\, extreme wait times and a host of voter ID issues – all of which disproportionately prevented many students and people of color from casting their ballots. \nSuppressed: The Fight to Vote features experts\, poll watchers and everyday Georgians speaking to the reality of voter suppression and the threat it poses in 2020. In a race that was ultimately decided by 54\,723 votes\, the film exposes how the basic constitutional right to vote to continues to be under siege in America. If your vote wasn’t important\, they wouldn’t try to suppress it. \nPresented by Team Upstream\, a social justice group from Church of the River\, Memphis\, TN.  Team Upstream concentrates on voter registration\, apathy\, and suppression. \nRefreshments at 6 pm | Film at 6:30 pm

SUMMARY:The Dopolarians in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a special performance by jazz group The Dopolarians. \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nThe Dopolarians is a collective of veteran avant-garde jazz musicians\, including some of the legends of the genre. With the exception of bassist William Parker\, the entire group hails from various points across the southern United States. The group formed in 2018 primarily around the friendship of pianist Chris Parker and influential percussionist Alvin Fielder to record their debut record\, Garden Party. Garden Party is accessible — even hummable — improvised music with ever-present reference to the group’s southern roots. As a Jazz Times magazine reviewer puts it\, the group performs “a perfect balance of euphoric improvisation\, bluesy mettle\, and melodic composition that’s as edgy as it is infectious.” \nTragically\, following the initial session that gave birth to the group\, Alvin Fielder fell ill and passed away. Filling the drum chair now is one of Alvin’s beloved students\, Chad Anderson of Mississippi. The Dopolarians performance will serve as both an album release celebration and a tribute to Alvin — friend\, mentor\, and giant among jazz percussionists. \nThe Dopoloarians are William Parker (bass)\, Douglas Ewart (tenor saxophone)\, Chris Parker (piano\, Kelley Hurt (voice)\, Chad Fowler (alto saxophone and saxello)\, Chad Anderson (percussion)\, and special guest Marc Franklin (trumpet).

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents The Harder They Come
DESCRIPTION:WITH A PIECE IN HIS HAND\, HE TAKES ON THE MAN! The epochal cultural moment that first brought reggae to the international stage\, made Jimmy Cliff a star\, and demonstrated how music can change the world. Fifty years on\, THE HARDER THEY COME is still electric with the feeling of discovery. This SCARFACE-y blend of crime drama and musical tracks Cliff’s country-boy-in-search-of-fame through Jamaica under the guises of laborer\, recording artist\, convict\, ganja dealer\, and outlaw folk hero. Before THE HARDER THEY COME\, the collective perception of a “foreign film” was limited to the Bergmans and the Kurosawas of the world. This game-changer forever blew those doors off — and it still hasn’t lost a drop of its cool\, its edge\, or its way of making you dance. — American Genre Film Archive — Perry Henzell/1972/109 minutes/Rated R \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)
