SUMMARY:*SOLD OUT* Rachel Maxann with Cyrena Wages and Joe Restivo
DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, June 8\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nAs a singer/songwriter\, Rachel Maxann describes her style as vintage indie-rock and post-modern folklore. Originally from Ohio\, Rachel has been deeply influenced by the music culture of every area where she has lived — North Carolina; New Orleans\, Louisiana; and Memphis. \n“In the same show\, you’ll hear country influences\, blues influences\, rock and pop influences\, and maybe even some musical theater\,” she says. By the time she arrived in Memphis in 2020\, Rachel was ready for the sounds she had cultivated to weave a tapestry of her own genre — a uniquely Memphis sound from an original voice. Black Fae is Rachel’s first album produced\, mixed\, and mastered in her new home here in Tennessee. \nBand: Mike Hewlett\, Daniel Wasmund\, Alice Hasen\, Tamar Love\, and Mitchell Jones \nSpecial Guests: Marcella Simien\, Louise Page\, Bailey Bigger\, and Doug

He also did a special performance for the late King Hussein and Queen Noir of Jordan at their residence in Aqaba\, Jordan. \nPaul is passionately committed to the education of children and young adults\, particularly as it relates to the preservation of jazz. In 2002\, he founded the Jazz Academy of Music\, which hosts summer camps and jazz ensembles for kids throughout the year. Paul also serves the Director of the Gettysburg College Jazz Ensemble. Paul has changed the lives of hundreds of his students by selflessly sharing his knowledge of music and life. Several of his students have been admitted and even received full scholarships to some of the top music schools and conservatories in the country. In fact\, five of Paul students have been admitted to the prestigious Julliard School of Music in New York. Many of his former students are touring and performing all over the world\, sharing the stage with some of the top names in jazz music today. Paul’s work was acknowledged in 2012 by ABC Channel 7 News when he was selected as a “Harris Hero” for his amazing work with music students across the area. In March 2014\, Paul received the prestigious\, Howard University\, “Benny Golson Jazz Master Award”\, for his outstanding work as a performer\, presenter and educator. He also served as a panelist at the 2014 Congressional Black Caucus where he spoke on the importance of jazz education and advocated for a Bill that was circulating in Congress that to offer federal support toward the advancement and preservation of traditional Jazz. In March\, 2015 Paul received the County Executive’s “Education Award” for Montgomery County Maryland. Finally\, in 2019\, Paul was selected as a “Jazz Hero” by the Jazz Journalist Association. \nIn 2010\, Paul re-established the East Coast Jazz Festival as the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival\, and serves as its Executive and Artistic Director. The festival enjoys over 3\,000 attendees that travel from states across the U.S. and beyond. Held every Presidents Day weekend in Rockville\, MD\, the festival incorporates a strong educational component\, with a high school band competition and free master classes for students as well as an entertainment component with performances by NEA Jazz Masters\, such as Benny Golson\, Jimmy Heath\, Ellis Marsalis\, Roy Haynes and Branford Marsalis\, just to name of few. \nIn 2015\, Paul presented his teaching technique for improvisation\, “The Theoryless Approach to Jazz Improvisation”\, at the JEN Conference in San Diego\, to a standing room only audience.
