Join us for an evening of classic disco hits spun by the DJs of Sparkle City Disco. The Rolling Wheels of Memphis skate group will be there, turning the party into a roller disco as they skate to classic disco tunes.
All vinyl. All disco. Lust and dust. Sparkle City Disco’s monthly residency at The Basement in Nashville has set the city back decades. They rocked Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, earlier this month, and now they’ve set their sights on Memphis.
Choro das 3 — the “First Family of Choro” — returns to Memphis on their 7th U.S. tour for an unforgettable evening of joy, excitement, and megachops in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. Brazilian choro music is a living gem — the “roots music” of that country and the mother of the samba and bossa nova we love. In choro, the flavors of immigrant mazurkas, polkas, and waltzes are seasoned with smoky tango and simmered in an irresistible Afro-Brazilian groove.
Join us for a performance by For Now, a quintet led by vocalist and composer Isabel Crespo, in The Green Room. The Gary Topper Group will open the show. Wandering carefully between genres, For Now performs compositions influenced by modern jazz, contemporary classical music, visual art, and poetry. Fueled by an unending curiosity, they explore the personal and the political, turning complex situations into musical vignettes.
Join us as queer country band The Dixie Dicks welcome you to Fist City, a night devoted to the divas of country. With special performances by Hunny Blunt, Imagene Azengraber, and Bela d’Ball.
Join us for a performance by Americana band The Lost Wages in The Green Room. The Lost Wages is a sibling-led band from Memphis, TN. Lead singers/songwriters Houston and Cyrena Wages fuse honky-tonk edge with anthemic melodies reminiscent of the 70’s Laurel Canyon scene, and soulful ballads that nod at the nature that makes Memphis, Memphis. Now based in East Nashville, the two children of a small-town judge elicit an unapologetic thumbprint and a “fresh take on a nostalgic sound.”
