Joe Locke is an internationally recognized Modern Master of Jazz Vibrophone. Come for an evening of incredible music playing by Locke alongside some of Memphis’ finest jazz musicians.
“Not only has he mastered an instrument that has catapulted only a handful of players to the forefront of modern jazz – but he has done so in a way that transcends mere technique and establishes him as a unique and adventurous musical voice.”
— Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian
“His lines have flash and pizzazz, but also an unforced lyricism, bubbling just under that force-of-nature enthusiasm”
— Chicago Jazz Music Examiner

Louis Michot, the two-time Grammy award winner, fiddle player and singer for Lost Bayou Ramblers, is celebrating the release of his debut solo album, “Rêve du Troubadour” with intimate solo performances. Alongside his progressive approach to the sonic evolution of modern folk music, Louis’ passion for Louisiana’s cultural and ecological sustainability fuel his songwriting, and his music career continues to push the boundaries of the Louisiana French music traditions.
Louis’ solo performances focus on the stories behind his original music and the history behind the wealth of traditional music he pulls from. He delivers a full sonic palate of sounds between his vocals, guitar, and fiddle, and accompanies the songs with foot-stomping triggered percussive elements and effects. Louis draws listeners in for an intimate experience that gives insight into the songs and sounds that have characterized his multi-decade trajectory of bringing Louisiana French music to an international stage.

Those Pretty Wrongs celebrated their tenth year as a band with a tour across the U.S., UK, and Australia, promoting their best-reviewed album, Holiday Camp. Mojo described it as “irresistible” due to its “celestial harmonies” and “wrangled emotions,” while Uncut praised its “dreamily autumnal mastery” of power pop.
The partnership between Jody Stephens and Luther Russell began in 1992 but only blossomed into music collaboration a decade ago during the making of the documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me, which focused on the legendary Memphis band Big Star. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2016, garnered acclaim, leading to worldwide tours and the creation of their second album, Zed For Zulu (2019), an earthy exploration of human interaction.
Luther resides in Los Angeles while Jody remains in Memphis, and their collaboration emphasizes a spontaneous approach to music-making. Luther reflects on their journey, stating, “The first record was sort of a little miracle…. But here we are with our third LP out.” Jody’s influence on pop includes his work with Big Star and Golden Smog, while Luther has a storied career as a solo artist and producer, recently recognized in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Their harmonious partnership continues to thrive, with plans for a UK tour this September, celebrating a decade of music. Jody emphasizes the rewarding nature of their shared creative experience, involving all who support them.
