Folk All Y’all: An Evening with Violet Bell

Folk All Y’all presents An Evening with Violet Bell, a North Carolina progressive folk duo, at The Green Room.

Tickets: $20

Each half of Violet Bell has dedicated their life to the pursuit of music: Lizzy Ross as a songwriter who briefly tried her hand in Nashville before returning to more receptive soil in North Carolina; Omar Ruiz-Lopez as a music educator and sideman who plays a staggering array of instruments (violin, viola, cello, guitar, mandolin, banjo). Ross thinks melodically and lyrically, while Ruiz-Lopez thinks in tones, textures and colors. Combined, their work is vibrant, full of ebbing and flowing emotion; full of passion, fear, hope, angst, frustration, humor — all the messy emotions comprising the worthwhile chaos of the human experience. Stylistically, the songs take familiar Americana textures and bend them in surprising directions. Violet Bell is what happens when two musicians at the top of their craft bring their distinctive skills and perspectives to a shared space and life.

Folk All Y’all: An Evening with David Wilcox

Join us for the first performance in a new collaboration with the Folk All Y’All concert series featuring David Wilcox.

Tickets: $30
Doors at 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm

Cleveland-born David Wilcox is a father, a husband, a citizen, and a songwriter. First inspired to play guitar after hearing a fellow college student playing in a stairwell, Wilcox is now 18 records into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, giving him a range and tenderness rare in folk music.

David was the first artist Folk All Y’all reached out to host, way back in 2014. After that first (more-than-)sold-out show, David’s come back and played five more times and become the artist we consider our patron saint. We’re thrilled to welcome David to our first concert at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts, a space that has inspired him for years and represents the community he’s built with us in Memphis.
