SUMMARY:POSTPONED U.S. Girls in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice.  \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by U.S. Girls. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nThe highly anticipated seventh album by U.S. Girls\, the protean musical enterprise of multi-disciplinary artist Meg Remy\, is entitled Heavy Light. While Remy has been widely acclaimed for a panoply of closely observed character studies\, on Heavy Light she turns inward\, recounting personal narratives to create a deeply introspective about-face. \nThe songs are an inquest into the melancholy flavor of hindsight\, both personal and cultural. Heavy Light follows 2018’s internationally critically acclaimed breakout album\, In A Poem Unlimited. Recently named one of the best albums of the decade by Pitchfork\, it was lauded across the pond by the likes of The Guardian\, The Sunday Times\, and Crack and Q magazine for being Remy’s most accessible record in her then decade-long career. \nHeavy Light is produced by Remy and was recorded live with 20 session musicians – including E Street Band saxophonist Jake Clemons – in Montreal’s acclaimed Hotel 2 Tango studio. Heavy Light is a set of songs conceived as a balance between orchestral percussion (as richly arranged by percussionist Ed Squires) and the human voice (conducted by Kritty Uranowski). The resulting album finds Remy casting herself as lead voice among a harmonious multitude\, the singers of which lend not only their voices\, but also share reflections on childhood experiences that are collaged into moving spoken word interludes throughout the album. \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Willie Farmer with Tim Easton in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by Mississippi bluesman Willie Farmer\, with an opening set by Tim Easton. \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nWillie Farmer is living proof that Mississippi continues to produce deep blues. The 63-year-old guitarist is neither a soul modernist nor revivalist\, but simply a small-town auto mechanic who’s never shaken his love for old school legends like Muddy\, Wolf\, and Lightnin’. \nA lifelong resident of tiny Duck Hill\, located in the hills east of the Delta\, Farmer grew up on the family farm. He first took up the acoustic guitar in his early teens\, and through picking cotton\, soon saved up enough money to buy an electric instrument. \nHe played for audiences at home and at school events and learned about blues and R&B\, mostly through listening to a powerful station out of Nashville. “John R of WLAC\, that’s how I listened to Lightnin’ Hopkins\, Howlin’ Wolf. That’s how I got my first album by Lightnin’ [The Fire Records LP Mojo Hand]. I got the address off the radio\, and they sent it.” \n“I learned Lightin’ pretty good. I can play all the up-to-date stuff now — B.B.\, Little Milton — but I like the old stuff; that’s the real blues. The blues they’re singing today\, that ain’t blues to me; it just doesn’t have the feel.” \nWillie’s father Alex\, a harmonica player who helped young Willie tune his guitar\, had played as a young man with his brothers\, including Walter\, who was recognized as one of the best guitarists to come out of the area. \nIn the early ‘50s\, Walter played together with Leo “Bud” Welch\, who grew up in the region. Sadly\, Walter was killed in Chicago in 1964 — “a woman liked Walter\, and a man got jealous and killed him” — and Willie never heard him play. \nIn his early ‘20s\, Farmer joined a loos- knit band that played at juke joints across the area — in Duck Hill\, Grenada\, Kilmichael\, and down in the Delta in Greenwood and Charleston. He eventually tired\, though\, of the rough-and-tumble clubs where “people liked to fight like crazy. ” \nFor about fifteen years\, Farmer worked regularly with local semi-professional gospel groups\, including the Rising Sun Singers\, who appeared on TV and over the radio in Greenwood\, the Angelettes\, and\, for nine years\, the Grenada-based Silvertone Gospel Singers. In 2003\, he helped found the annual Grassroots Blues Festival\, staged in a meadow outside Duck Hill. Through the event\, he befriended down-home blues players from across the state\, including Willie King and Welch. \n“The Man From the Hill” marks the first time that he’s spent serious time in the studio. Recorded over multiple sessions at Producer Bruce Watson’s Memphis based Delta-Sonic Sound Studio. Farmer enjoyed working in a North Mississippi Hill Country vein with Jimbo Mathus and session drummer George Sluppick. He even dipped back into gospel\, singing harmony together with Memphis’ Barnes Brothers on [the Sensational Nightingales’] “At the Meeting.” \nFor the past 30 years\, Farmer has run his own auto repair shop and hopes that the release of this record and associated touring will allow him to retire. \n“I’m trying to get out of that shop. I’m tried of messing with those cars. It’s been a long time.” \nTo celebrate 30 years of traveling with and writing songs on his black Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar named ”Paco\,” Nashville-based songwriter Tim Easton recorded an entire album direct-to-lacquer at The Earnest Tube Studio in Bristol\, Virginia. This performance-based method of capturing songs leaves no room for manipulation or overdubbing\, therefore conjuring the roots of American Music. Each track was recorded via portable lathe\, which cuts a mono signal directly to a lacquer acetate disc\, much the way The Carter Family or Jimmie Rodgers would have made their first records in Bristol over 90 years ago. \nIn as much time as it takes to listen\, Easton recorded nine original songs and one cover using a single 1940s RCA 74B ribbon microphone\, alternating between the rapid fire flat-picking and steady\, Travis-style thumb-picking technique that he has been streamlining all these years\, coupled with his Country Blues style rack harmonica playing. The occasional foot stomp can be heard as well\, vibrating through the floors. Easton sings songs from the personal experiences and observations of man who has spent a few decades on the road. His folk music is not always the gentle kind. His authenticity is pervasive. This is what the tradition of the troubadour sounds like. \nThis LP serves as a love letter of sorts to Easton’s trusty Gibson acoustic guitar\, which he purchased in 1987 for $100\, plus two cheap electric guitars on trade. Leaving Ohio and exploring Europe on and off for seven years\, Easton traveled extensively by train\, bus\, and thumb\, learning to write songs along the way. Soon after a Deadhead in Paris named his guitar “Paco\,” Easton made his first recordings just a short walk away from the Charles Bridge in Prague\, where he had been busking in the Summer after Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution. \nAfter returning Stateside and signing with EMI Music Publishing\, he released several critically acclaimed albums with both New West Records and Thirty Tigers. His last album\, 2016’s American Fork (Last Change Records) reached #11 on the Americana Music Association Radio Charts. Easton continues to travel the world and perform while also delving into film score work done at his home studio in Nashville. He has scored two feature documentaries\, “The Power Of Two” (2012)\, and “The Bullish Farmer” (2017) and also placed original songs in film and television. The American South has left it’s emotional and sonic mark on many a traveler\, and it shows in Easton’s range of performances on this unique LP.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Sam Pacetti
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nCrosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. May’s performance features guitarist Sam Pacetti in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $20\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nSam Pacetti is one who brings it all together. A fingerstyle guitar wizard. A deft songwriter\, capable of haunting depth and wry humor in the space of one song. An impassioned and ecstatic vocalist\, as well as a mesmerizing live performer\, seamlessly melding head-spinning guitar pyrotechnics and raw emotion into one breathtaking package. Pacetti represents a culmination of the best of the American and British traditions. His 1997 Waterbug debut\, Solitary Travel\, garnered critical raves. “This guy is very good\, indeed\,” deadpanned the highly respected (and highly critical) UK magazine Folk Roots. And Dirty Linen\, the influential US roots publication\, opined\, “Although the woods are full of young guitar virtuosos\, few have developed the style\, technique\, and artistic wisdom of Sam Pacetti. \nSolitary travel heralds the arrival of one of the most talented instrumentalists and composers to appear in acoustic music in a month of Sundays.” Sam Pacetti grew up in North Florida\, hardly known as a hotbed of either the folk tradition or musical innovation. At age 13\, he found the music of both Chet Atkins and Merle Travis\, profound influences on his early musical development. Then fate intervened shortly afterward in the person of Gamble Rogers\, the legendary picker and raconteur from St Augustine who took the young Pacetti under his wing. It was a time of astonishing musical and emotional growth. Pacetti and Rogers met and played weekly for a year\, until tragically Rogers died while trying to save a drowning tourist caught in an undertow at Flagler Beach\, Florida. \nThough brief in their time together\, Rogers was able to instill in Pacetti the importance of the folk process\, the passing of music and oral tradition from teacher to student. Pacetti still counts Rogers as his most influential mentor. Tradition and innovation neatly balance in Sam Pacetti’s music\, the whole infused by a relentless intelligence intent on musical and philosophical synthesis. Martin Simpson\, Richard Thompson\, Joni Mitchell and Merle Travis are touchstones to Pacetti\, and while there are strong elements of the American primitive school of guitar wizardry throughout his work\, there is a powerful raw emotionality evident as well – an earthy sensuality more reminiscent of a Greg Brown or a red-dirt blues master than of a musical academian. Word has started to spread about Sam Pacetti. And as with anything truly innovative\, it starts at the grassroots. You won’t see Pacetti written up in People or Us. You won’t hear his music on Top-40 radio. \nNo\, word is spreading about Sam Pacetti the way true innovation always does – through the grassroots\, through non-commercial radio and “specialty show” play\, from tapes and CDs passed from friend to friend\, At folk festivals and listening rooms\, and in the tradition stemming from the days of rent-raising parties in the Mississippi Delta (and now carried on by music aficionados unable to find music that interest them within the mainstream). \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Nutria in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a contemporary jazz performance by Nutria from New Orleans. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nNamed after the infamous South Louisiana swamp rat\, Nutria performs original contemporary jazz music with an emphasis on collective improvisation. Their compositional and improvisational practice at once pushes at the boundaries of instrumental music in the 21st century and situates the music within the lineage of New Orleans jazz and groove traditions. \nThis concert at Crosstown Arts is a part of their 2020 album release tour\, celebrating their new album\, “Meeting In Progress\,” released in February 2020 on ears&eyes Records. \n“Showing a clear strategic intelligence and inventiveness and a substantial depth of artistic resourcefulness\,” according to No Depression magazine\, Nutria has toured throughout the United States playing art centers\, jazz clubs\, and dive bars. In 2017\, they performed on the Millennium Stage at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington\, DC. In 2016\, they were commissioned by the New Orleans-based Marigny Opera Ballet to compose “Wary Heat\,” a new ballet that was premiered in February 2017 and reprised in January 2018. In 2019\, Nutria began a weekly residency at one of New Orleans’ top venues for creative music\, Bacchanal Fine Wine. \nNutria was formed in New Orleans in 2014 as a composition workshop for its members\, who were active in different corners of the local music scene. Their sound reflects a diversity of influences yet with a deep commitment to the jazz idiom. \nThe members of Nutria have performed with a wide array of leading talents in New Orleans and around the world\, including Leyla McCalla\, James Singleton\, Johnny Vidocovich\, Ed Petersen\, Mahmoud Chouki\, Sarah Quintana\, the Revelers and local favorites Los Po-boy-citos. Nutria has performed at venues such as the Kennedy Center (Washington\, DC)\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (NOLA)\, the New Orleans Jazz Museum\, Twins Jazz Club (DC)\, Chris’ Jazz Cafe (Philadelphia)\, the Jazz Gallery (Milwaukee)\, the Chatterbox Jazz Club (Indianapolis)\, and the California Clipper (Chicago).
