  • Spree Wilson

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Crosstown Arts presents Spree Wilson in The Green Room in a special performance featuring a string quartet composed of musicians of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. MSO musicians Marisa Polesky, Yennifer Correia, Hannah Whitehouse, and Estefan Perez will join Spree on stage for several songs arranged just for this performance.

    Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Spree Wilson’s approach to music has always been driven by his boundless creativity and vision. The singer-songwriter began his musical journey at home, with a father who sang and toured in a doo-wop group called The Blue Shirts and a mother who kept artists like Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Minnie Ripperton, and Whitney Houston in constant rotation. Those early influences would become his musical foundation, the bedrock for a career that would lead to him meeting and working with two giants of popular music: his mentor Dallas Austin and legendary rapper/producer Q-Tip.
