SUMMARY:Hermon Mehari and Peter Schlamb
DESCRIPTION:Join Hermon Mehari\, an award-winning jazz trumpeter based in Paris\, France\, and Kansas City-based vibraphonist and pianist Peter Schlamb for a special performance in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. \nTickets: $15\nStudent tickets: $5 (limited availability\, available at the door with student ID) \nHermon Mehari’s sophomore album as a leader\, “A Change For the Dreamlike\,” takes on a more personal tone. Written and recorded in a barn in the French countryside during le confinement\, it shows only hints at the aesthetic set by his debut album. The songs play like personal journal entries\, versions and visions of wishes\, fantasies\, and memories. Together they create a kind of modern mixtape of dreams\, in every sense of the word\, in which the trumpet is a vulnerable presence. The project features a number of incredible musicians: Tony Tixier\, Peter Schlamb\, Ryan J. Lee\, Kae Dilla\, DeAndre Manning\, Hugo LX\, Karl McComas-Reichl\, Jeff Hill\, and Zach Morrow. \nMehari was also the winner of the 2008 National Trumpet Competition and placed 2nd in the International Trumpet Guild competition in Sydney\, Australia. As a founding member of Diverse\, whose eponymous debut album on Seattle-based Origin Records reached the Top 40 on the Jazzweek Radio Charts\, he has performed professionally with noted saxophonists Jaleel Shaw\, Logan Richardson\, Bobby Watson\, Ben Van Gelder\, and Tivon Pennicott. He has also performed with Aaron Parks\, Joe Sanders\, Hubert Laws\, Randy Brecker\, Tony Tixier\, Dave Pietro\, Clay Jenkins\, and many other great musicians. \nPeter Schlamb is a vibraphonist and pianist based in Kansas City\, MO. He recently released a second album \,“Electric Tinks\,” and maintains a busy schedule performing locally\, nationally\, and internationally. Peter spent several years in New York\, where he attended and graduated from New School University. During his time in New York\, he recorded and performed with artists including Logan Richardson\, David Binney\, Mike Moreno\, and Ben van Gelder. Peter currently leads the group Electric Tinks and is a member of Logan Richardson’s Blues People\, as well as frequently performing with several other ensembles around the world.

SUMMARY:Tell Me a Memory
DESCRIPTION:Film screening of Tell Me a Memory\, followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Jon Bryant Crawford. \nDoors at 7 pm | Screening at 7:30 pm \nView the trailer \n\nFree and open to the public. Capacity is limited\, and registration is required. \nRegister here \nIn 2018\, filmmaker Jon Bryant Crawford was a Crosstown Arts resident artist. Jon used his time at Crosstown Arts to film interviews with anyone in the Queer community in Memphis willing to sit down and talk. Tell Me a Memory is the result of those sessions. Join Crosstown Arts and filmmaker Jon Bryant Crawford for a screening of Tell Me a Memory at Crosstown Theater. The screening will be followed with a panel discussion with Mr. Crawford. \nFROM THE FILMMAKER: “I fell in love with a man in my early twenties who was older than I. His family had a history of dementia and Alzheimers. We were closeted\, and I worried what would happen to our love story if he lost his memory. No one knew about us\, and I wanted some marker of it in the world. Even if it was found years later\, it would be something. I made a short film about that fear\, and when the short played at festivals\, other gay men told me their stories. I wanted a place to keep some of these memories\, little things that might be overlooked\, but are poetic and meaningful nonetheless\, those little things I hear from other Queer folks I run into out in the world. When I had the opportunity to spend some time in Memphis\, I wanted to try and capture stories from the community in a very undisrupted style\, with us all just sharing\, and place them in one place as a document for future generations.” \nABOUT JON BRYANT CRAWFORD is a filmmaker\, writer\, and photographer exploring the loneliness of American masculinity and the celebration of Queer resilience through the perspective of a gay\, mixed-race Southerner. He studied experimental film at the SFAI before earning his MFA from the UCLA School of Theatre\, Film\, and Television.

SUMMARY:R.L. Boyce with Ryan Lee Crosby & Shaun Marsh at Crosstown Arts
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents blues musician R.L. Boyce with Ryan Lee Crosby and Shaun Marsh in The Green Room. \n\n\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nTickets: $15 \n\n\nR.L. Boyce is a Grammy-nominated American blues singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist born and raised in Como\, Mississippi\, United States. He is a protege of Hill country blues musicians\, including R L Burnside\, and Mississippi Fred McDowell. \nBoyce began his career in the early 1960s playing drums for his uncle\, the fife and drum performer Othar Turner. Later\, he was the drummer for Jessie Mae Hemphill and is featured on her 1990 album Feelin’ Good. \nHis debut full-length album\, entitled Ain’t the Man’s Alright\, was released when he was 52 years old and featured musicians including Cedric Burnside\, Luther Dickinson\, and Calvin Jackson. \nHis second album release\, Roll and Tumble\, was released on September 8\, 2017 on Waxploitation Records. The album included the father and son double drumming team of Cedric Burnside (R.L. Burnside’s drummer and grandson) and Calvin Jackson. The album was produced by Luther Dickinson (of The Black Crowes and North Mississippi Allstars fame) and David Katznelson. \n\n\nRyan Lee Crosby is a Boston-based singer/songwriter\, guitarist\, and music teacher. His sound pays tribute to the Bentonia and North Mississippi blues traditions\, centered in 12 string guitar\, lap style dobro\, dynamic vocals\, and a driving foot stomp. \n\n\nFor six years\, Crosby toured Europe annually\, developing his sound before making the pilgrimage to Mississippi to meet Jimmy “Duck” Holmes in 2019. Since that first meeting\, Crosby has returned to Bentonia four times to learn about the style directly from Holmes at the Blue Front Cafe and to perform at the Bentonia Blues Festival. Crosby recently recorded a new album\, Winter Hill Blues\, with renowned producer Bruce Watson (Fat Possum/Big Legal Mess Records) at his Memphis studio\, Delta-Sonic Sound. \n\nThrough music\, Crosby hopes to inspire peace\, openness\, and respect for tradition\, for culture\, for each other\, and for one’s self.\n\n\n\nFrom an early age growing up in the south of England\, Shaun Marsh learned the power and potential of music through his mother\, a performing artist and soul singer in the sixties and seventies. Being introduced to early pop\, rock & roll\, R&B\, and soul had a profound inspiration on him. It wasn’t until he reached his forties that Shaun began to look back at the origins and true roots of the music that he’d been listening to most of his life.\n\nLate one night while tuning in to John Peel on the radio\, he heard Hell Hound On My Trail by Robert Johnson. The raw emotion of that recording compelled him to immerse himself in the early pre-war blues. He began to develop the techniques for playing finger picking-style country and Delta blues from the recordings of the early pioneering musicians who paved the way. It was these rich and lonesome strands of storytelling that brought him to Memphis\, where he continues to study in the shadow of this powerful music that defines this city. His repertoire on solo acoustic guitar ranges from Robert Johnson and Charley Patton to Skip James and Big Bill Broonzy. Following the threads of the blues from Memphis\, he also gets inspiration from such greats as Johnny Cash\, Magic Sam\, and Otis Redding.

Eventually he landed in Texas where he got to personally hear and meet the likes of Guy Clark\, Joe Ely\, Rodney Crowell\, and John Prine\, all of which are major influences on his songwriting to this day. Jed then spent a good period of time living in Taos and Red River\, New Mexico\, where his songwriting was heavily influenced from the people and landscape of the southwest. \nJed will celebrate the release of his new album “Below The Blooms” with an intimate acoustic set in his former hometown of Memphis.

SUMMARY:ONE NIGHT ONLY: Don Bryant & The Bo-Keys Live with Chamber Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Hear Don Bryant & The Bo-Keys in a very special\, one-night-only performance with members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra will also be performing music from Craig Brewer’s 2019 film Dolemite Is My Name (music written by Scott Bomar of the Bo-Keys). \nDoors at 6:30 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nTickets: $35 first-level seating | $25 balcony seating \nYou know that old song that O. V. Wright did so well in 1971 that no one can ever do that song again — “Nickel and a Nail”? O. V. Wright has held tight to that song and rightfully so. But not no mo. Not to take anything from O.V.— but after nearly half a century\, now you gotta step aside. Don Bryant is here. \nThough it ain’t like he just showed up. The roots of this record are in the Memphis church\, where Don Bryant began singing when he was 5. He joined his father’s family vocal group\, then formed a gospel quartet for a high school radio gig. Broadcasting broadened the audience and they went secular\, singing pop at WLOK on Dick “Cane” Cole’s popular show. After parting with the DJ\, they took a very real step toward careers when\, as the Four Kings\, they began fronting Willie Mitchell’s band. \nWillie Mitchell led the swingingest\, groovin’est band in the Memphis-Mississippi-Arkansas area — the American music floodplain. Willie’s band was known for instrumental records\, but when they’d play at Danny’s in West Memphis\, Don’s group fronted them. But the group broke up and Willie\, who was touring concert venues and dance halls\, needed a vocalist who could play with his supple\, slinky funky beats\, and anointed Don Bryant as his leading man. \nDon could also write songs. He was still in his teens when\, in 1960\, Willie was producing the 5 Royales\, and Don handed him “I Got To Know.” The 5 Royales put it on wax. Don was hot in the spotlight and in the writer’s room. \nAs Willie Mitchell carved out his place at Hi Records\, Don was close by. Don cut songs at Hi under the Four Kings moniker (“That Driving Beat”) and as a solo artist (“Don’t Turn Your Back On Me”). He wrote material for other Hi artists\, including Janet & the Jays and Norman West. In 1969\, still in the age of 7” singles\, Don was popular enough to release an album — though the big breakout hit stayed elusive. \nAround 1970\, Willie put Don with the Hi label’s newest act\, Ann Peebles\, who burst on the scene with “Part Time Love.” Don looked at this slight young lady and penned “99 Lbs” for her: “You wouldn’t know what I’m talking ’bout/ If you never had a love like this/… 99 lbs of natural born goodness/99 lbs of soul.” The relationship warmed\, they co-wrote the hit “I Can’t Stand the Rain” in 1973 and were married the following year. Ann’s performing career continued\, as did Don’s writing\, and they began raising a family. Occasionally\, Don returned to the microphone\, dueting with his wife\, sometimes releasing gospel material. Always\, he continued to write songs. \nAnd all the while\, that voice was maturing\, mellowing\, until these recordings that find him\, at age 74\, in peak form and taking O. V.’s song. The band is a mix of lifelong cohorts and upstart stalwarts. They understand where he’s been and where he wants to go\, making his song “How Do I Get There\,” a rhetorical question\, because they have clearly found the way. –Robert Gordon\, Memphis\, 2017 \n— \nThrough three critically acclaimed albums\, as well as international appearances at major festivals and clubs\, the Bo-Keys have kept the spirit of classic Memphis music alive while also writing a vital new chapter for the sound and style that’s etched into the fiber of American consciousness. The Bo-Keys performed on the score for Hustle & Flow and appear in the film Soul Men\, performing on-screen with stars Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac. They also appear on three songs Bomar produced for the film’s soundtrack\, including“Soul Music” by Anthony Hamilton\, which was nominated for a Grammy in2010. The Bo-Keys can also be heard performing the song\, “Kick It” in the film and soundtrack for the Paramount animated feature\, Barnyard. The Bo-Keys have also had songs featured in 2013 De Niro/Stallone comedy Grudge Match. the Showtime Series TheChi\, AMC’s Dietland\, the ABC TV series Scandal\, and the CBS TV series Scorpion. \n— \nScott Bomar is a Memphis-based musician\, Emmy Award-winning film/TV composer and producer\, songwriter\, and engineer of multiple Grammy-winning and nominated recordings. Projects include the films Dolemite is My Name\, Hustle & Flow\, Black Snake Moan\, Mississippi Grind\, and Soul Men. Bomar produced and engineered Cyndi Lauper’s Grammy-nominated album Memphis Blues at his Electraphonic Recording Studio and co-wrote the song\, “The House Always Wins” on William Bell’s 2016 Grammy-winning album\, This is Where I Live. \nIn high school\, he began performing with groups at Memphis-area clubs and formed the group Impala. With their ‘60s instrumental sound\, the group toured and released five albums. Impala’s version of the Henry Mancini theme “Experiment in Terror” is featured in George Clooney’s directorial debut\, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. In 2018\, Impala released a new album\, In the Late Hours\, which was described by Rolling Stone as “…combines surf-guitar nostalgia with a minor-key\, spy-movie-worthy riffage.” \nIn 2005\, Bomar composed the score for Craig Brewer’s award-winning film Hustle & Flow\, for which Bomar has received much critical acclaim for his Memphis soul meets hip hop score. Bomar returned in 2006 to collaborate with the filmmakers of Hustle & Flow as Executive Music Producer and composer of the film Black Snake Moan. He worked with film’s stars Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci in the studio to record songs for the film\, which are performed on-screen. He also composed the original score utilizing musicians harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite and Rolling Stones and Ry Cooder sideman\, Jim Dickinson. \nBomar is also the leader of The Bo-Keys\, a Memphis soul group featuring legendary Stax and Hi Records session players.

SUMMARY:Spree Wilson
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 day of show \nBorn 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. \nWhile attending Clark University in Atlanta\, Georgia\, Spree met Austin\, who was immediately impressed by the young man’s guitar skills and offered him an internship at his famous studio\, Dart. Spree’s hard work and dedication to learning the music industry served notice that there was more to the multi-talented young artist than just raw talent— there was the focus and drive to maximize his potential and realize his ambitions. Austin would soon offer him a recording contract\, which Spree turned down in order to pursue his career in New York City. \nAfter selling his car and purchasing a one-way ticket to the City of Lights\, Spree arrived in NYC with just his suitcase and guitar. He found himself homeless and living in Penn Station for several weeks. A mutual friend eventually introduced him to Q-Tip\, who was impressed by Spree’s songwriting. Q-tip would ultimately help land the upstart a major label deal with Jive Records. During his time with Jive\, Spree began working on his album — writing songs constantly and ultimately landing a publishing deal with Universal Music Group. \nSince then\, Spree has co-written Afrojack’s single “The Spark\,” which he is also featured on as an artist. “The Spark” has been A-listed on BBC’s radio 1. In addition\, he has co-written “Sin City” on Good Music compilation album Cruel Summer with Teyana Taylor. The album went #1 on the US Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums\, US Top Rap Albums\, and #2 on US Billboard 200. He has collaborated with noteworthy producers such as Q-Tip\, Novel\, No ID\, Jim Jonsin\, Infamous\, Malay\, Robin Hannibal (of Rhye)\, Frequency\, and Mark Maxwell. \nEven with his successes\, Spree remains as creatively progressive as ever and has never limited himself to one specific style or genre of music. His upbringing in Nashville exposed him to everything from George Jones to George Harrison to George Benson. He’s as much hip-hop as he is pop\, a rock star rebel with the spirit of a b-boy. This love of all musical styles is what drives Spree’s ever-broadening sound\, musicianship\, songwriting\, and style.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Resident Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts resident artists Jessica Sabogal and Shanna Strauss will present artist talks. \nFree and open to the public \n\nJessica Sabogal is a cuir Colombian-American muralistx from San Francisco whose large-scale public artworks attempt to document and disrupt. Sabogal has consistently reinvented what it means to be a female muralist in a male-dominated industry by utilizing her medium for social change\, action\, and empowerment. \nHer murals have been commissioned by Facebook\, Google\, 20th Century Fox\, the University of Southern California\, the University of California\, the University of Arizona\, and the University of Utah\, among many others. In 2016\, Sabogal received KQED’s Women to Watch Award and the following year was commissioned by the Amplifier Foundation for the 2017 Women’s March\, after which her “Women Are Perfect” campaign gained international acclaim. Sabogal’s work has since been featured in national and international news and media sources including CNN\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Huffington Post\, and The New York Times. \nJessica Sabogal often works with artist Shanna Strauss\, her life and collaborative partner. Essential to their practice is a system of similar core beliefs — feminist\, radical\, pro-people\, and engaged in social change. Their interdisciplinary work implies that collaboration is at the heart of self and community. Both draw inspiration\, connection\, and influence from contemporary political and social movements\, which have always used artistic expression as a critical form of resistance against forces that wage and risk their erasure. For their viewers\, Sabogal and Strauss create collective narratives of diaspora rooted in kinship and solidarity. The pair have been commissioned by The California Endowment\, the University of California San Francisco\, the Euphrat Museum\, and the PHI Foundation. Most recently\, they received the Kala Art Institute 2020-2021 Fellowship Award. \n\nAs a Tanzanian-American\, biracial\, bilingual woman\, who was raised in Tanzania and later moved to the U.S. and Canada\, Shanna Strauss has had to navigate multiple identities\, geographic locations\, histories and cultures. This reality led her to an interest in diaspora identities and what it means to live between different worlds. In her work\, she explores identity and belonging and how oral tradition\, spirituality\, and family legacy are transmitted inter-generationally\, across time and place. Working predominantly on found wood\, she creates mixed-media portraits by combining photo transfer\, painting\, wood burning\, wood carving\, beads\, fabric and other materials — all selected for their symbolic and cultural significance. \nStrauss often works with artist Jessica Sabogal\, her life and collaborative partner. Essential to their practice is a system of similar core beliefs — feminist\, radical\, pro-people\, and engaged in social change.

SUMMARY:Don Lifted
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Lawrence Matthews\, also known as Don Lifted\, at Crosstown Theater. \nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \nTickets: $15 general admission \n$10 student tickets (limited availability\, available at the door) \nMultidisciplinary artist Lawrence Matthews\, also known as Don Lifted\, will transform Crosstown Theater visually and sonically with new music from his Fat Possum debut “325i.” The performance\, which will have limited capacity to ensure the health and safety of guests\, features immersive visual installations following the narrative of the new record and staples from his previous releases\, Alero and Contour (2017\, 2018). \nNew merchandise will be available for purchase\, as well as vinyl copies of the new album. After the performance\, stop by Memphis Listening Lab for a meet-and-greet and vinyl signing with Don Lifted. \nProduction on his most recent album began in late 2019\, after his first national tour. 325i finds the artist physically stuck\, but emotionally and romantically expanding. Written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the album explores the artist’s navigation of his future\, both romantic and physical\, as well as their anxieties surrounding isolation\, queerness\, and past traumas. The album represents transition\, not only artistically\, but in the embracing of an identity suppressed by an outside world he can no longer touch. In 2021\, the record was finished and mastered in Hollywood by Grammy Award-winning Engineer Mike Bozzi (Flower Boy\, Ctrl\, Good Kid\, Maad City\, To Pimp A Butterfly\, IGOR\, This is America). \nAll attendees are required to wear masks regardless of vaccination status. Seating will be socially distanced based on ticket grouping\, and the show will start promptly at 8pm. \nArtist Bio \nMatthews is a multi-disciplined creative\, predominantly working in music\, visual arts\, and film. Matthews’ style incorporates elements of hip-hop\, alternative rock\, and electronic music\, resulting in emotionally vulnerable storytelling and eclectic production. After receiving his B.F.A. from The University of Memphis\, Matthews carved out a career in fine art with his socially informed painting\, photography\, and non-profit work becoming a beacon for aspiring black youth in Memphis and resulting in multiple awards\, collection acquisitions\, and exhibitions spanning galleries and museums across the Mid-south. As Matthews maintained a successful visual art career and released various free albums under the name Don Lifted\, he built the resources and fanbase to release his first two commercial projects\, Alero and Contour in 2017 and 2018. In the fall of 2019\, supported by EgglestonWorks\, he booked his first tour; it started in Memphis before hitting Brooklyn\, Los Angeles\, and San Francisco. At a mid-tour hometown show\, he caught the eye of famed producer Matt Ross-Spang\, which led to Matthews signing a deal with Fat Possum Records. Matthews then spent 2020 in near-isolation crafting what would be his label debut “325i\,” slated for release on October 22\, 2021.
