SUMMARY:Folk All Y'all: Rebecca Loebe
DESCRIPTION:Folk All Y’all: Rebecca Loebe \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts  \nThursday\, April 9th\, 2026 \nDoors open at 7 PM | Show begins at 7:30 PM \nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nOver the past decade\,Austin-based troubadour Rebecca Loebe (she/her) has  been steadily building her audience the old fashioned way: driving hundreds of thousands of miles in an old station wagon\, performing in listening rooms and theaters across the US\,Canada\, Japan\, Europe\, and the UK. \nIn 2019\, she released her fifth studio album\, her first collaboration with the Grammy-nominated Houston-based record label Blue Corn Music.The genre-bending album borrows equally from the worlds of intimate folk\, ear wormy pop\, and no-holds-barred Americana. Refusing to pledge allegiance to any single genre was a creative gamble that has paid off in a big way: Give Up Your Ghosts has received the best press of Loebe’s career\, including praise from Billboard\, Rolling Stone\, and legendary rock critic Dave Marsh\, who said: “Once I put it on I couldn’t take it off.” \nRecently\, Rebecca has spent her time recently writing\, recording\, performing online\, and launching a Youtube series about what really goes on behind the scenes in the lives and careers of independent musicians. She also got a dog\, so if you hate puppy pictures\, make sure not to look at her social media. Her 2026 tour celebrates her much-anticipated new release\, so be there to catch it live!

SUMMARY:Modern Masters: The Ben Markley & Michael Shults Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Modern Masters: Ben Markley and Michael Shults Quintet\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts  \nWednesday\, April 9\, 2026 \nDoors open at 7:00 PM | Show begins at 7:30 PM \n$20 in advance (plus fees) | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThe Ben Markley & Michael Shults Quintet brings together five exceptional musicians in a collaborative modern jazz ensemble that balances deep tradition with forward-thinking creativity. Pianist\, composer\, and bandleader Ben Markley joins forces with acclaimed saxophonist Michael Shults to present music that is both intellectually rich and viscerally engaging. \nBEN MARKLEY: \nBen Markley is a pianist\, composer\, arranger\, author\, educator\, and leader of the Ben Markley Big Band\, a daring ensemble known for their creative takes on beloved modern and contemporary jazz classics. Fresh off the heels of Clockwise: The Music of Cedar Walton\, Markley tackles his most ambitious project yet: Ari’s Funhouse\, a big band album featuring the music of drummer Ari Hoenig\, with Hoenig himself in the drum chair. The album received great critical acclaim and was selected as one of the best 4 star rated albums of 2022 by DownBeat magazine. \nMarkley is active as a composer and arranger with many big band and vocal jazz charts published through UNC Jazz Press as well as his own website. Recent arranging commissions include the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra\, Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia\, and Wyoming Jazz Educators All-State Jazz Band. \nIn 2023 Markley published Cedar. The Life and Music of Cedar Walton (University of North Texas Press). Markley conducted more than seventy-five interviews with friends and family members\, musicians who played with or were otherwise influenced by Walton\, and industry figures such as club owners. Musicians interviewed include such stars as Jimmy Heath\, Benny Golson\, and Ron Carter. Walton’s wife Martha shared her extensive archives of photos\, ephemera such as fliers and tour itineraries\, and letters to inform Markley’s writing which is the definite biography on Walton. \nMarkley’s book A Practical Approach to Improvisation – The David Hazeltine Method was published by Jamey Aebersold Jazz in December of 2014. It documents David Hazeltine’s process of creating etudes from transcriptions. \nMarkley is an active performer in the Denver-metropolitan area and along the front range. He currently teaches jazz piano and serves as department chair of the music department for the University of Wyoming. \nMICHAEL SHULTS: \nSaxophonist Michael Shults has been praised for his “strong\, imaginative” improvisations (Downbeat Magazine) and “fresh and intelligent musical ideas” (The Pitch). A first-call musician on the Kansas City jazz scene for nearly a decade\, Shults remains an active performer in the Fountain City\, Memphis\, and beyond\, and has twice appeared as a sideman on the Jazzweek National Radio Airplay Charts. As a graduate student at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music\, Michael was a finalist in the 2012 North American Saxophone Alliance Jazz Artist Competition\, and was the winner of the Graduate College Soloist category in the 2012 Downbeat Magazine Student Music Awards Issue. He has since performed by invitation as a featured soloist at the North American Saxophone Alliance biennial conference\, the Jazz Education Network conference\, the Midwest Clinic\, the Wisconsin Music Educator’s Association conference\, the Minnesota Music Educator’s Association conference\, and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival. Michael has shared the stage professionally with many of the most significant jazz artists of our time\, including Bobby Watson\, Sean Jones\, Nat Reeves\, Pat Bianchi\, Lynn Seaton\, Curtis Lundy\, John Hebert\, and Bob McChesney. He is the Musical Director of the Memphis Jazz Orchestra\, which has held a weekly residency on historic Beale Street for over three decades. \nDr. Shults is Associate Professor of Saxophone at the University of Memphis\, and previously held the position of Assistant Professor of Saxophone for four years at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He is a Yamaha Artist and a Vandoren Artist-Clinician and performs on their instruments and reeds exclusively.

SUMMARY:Maria Somerville + opener Colle
DESCRIPTION:Maria Somerville + opener Colle  \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts  \nTuesday\, March 31\, 2025  \nDoors open at 7 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM \n$18 in advance (plus fees) | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBy the time Irish musician Maria Somerville started writing Luster\, her landmark label debut for 4AD\, she had lived away from her native Connemara for quite some time. Having grown up amongst the wild\, mountainous terrain of Galway’s rural west coast\, she later relocated to Dublin\, where she patiently developed an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscape of her youth – a spellbinding soundworld of gusting ambient electronics\, ethereal guitar strums\, sparse percussion\, and hushed lyrical vignettes. In 2019\, this culminated in All My People\, a self-released LP steeped in reverb\, nostalgia and a yearning for home that won praise from discerning press and listeners alike. \nIt was upon returning to Connemara\, in a house near where she was raised overlooking one of the country’s largest lakes\, Lough Corrib\, that work commenced on the songs that would eventually become Luster\, an album that illuminates Somerville’s music anew\, pushing it forward in both sound and spirit. Where All My People conveyed memories and melancholic longing with misty slowcore balladry\, these 12 tracks show us an artist who’s more assured in the path her life has taken\, and the person she’s become in the process. As she sings in ‘Trip’ – “I can see more clearly than I could before. I know now what’s true for me.” \nInvigorated by her surroundings and emboldened by her community\, Somerville found a renewed sense of creative energy upon returning to home soil. It provided “fertile ground” for free-flowing recording sessions in her small living room studio\, where she stitched together demos that were then fleshed out with friends and collaborators\, and later mixed by the renowned New York-based engineer Gabriel Schuman. Contributors included producers J. Colleran\, Brendan Jenkinson and Diego Herrera (aka Suzanne Kraft)\, as well as Lankum’s Ian Lynch\, whose uilleann pipe drones you can hear in ‘Violet’\, and Margie Jean Lewis\, whose violin bows reverberate through the ambient haze of ‘Flutter’. Sessions with musicians Henry Earnest and Finn Carraher McDonald (aka Nashpaints) helped “tie it all together”\, while contributions from friends Roisin Berkley and Olan Monk enshrined the companionship they’ve shared since Somerville returned to Connemara. \nListeners have had a window into Somerville’s world every Monday and Tuesday morning since 2021 via her beloved Early Bird Show on NTS Radio\, where her dawn chorus selections range from blissful ambient and shoegaze to traditional Irish folk songs. Since signing to 4AD that same year\, Somerville has toured with her label mates Dry Cleaning\, and released two covers for the label’s 40th anniversary celebrations – taking on Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Kinky Love’ and Air Miami’s ‘Sea Bird’. With the release of Luster\, she has signaled the arrival of a new era that will see her play around the world in 2025 accompanied by a live band. Rest assured though\, no matter where Somerville goes\, she’ll take a piece of home with her – a living\, breathing\, timeless essence you can sense in every note\, as clear as the air by the Corrib.

SUMMARY:"Memphis R&B Is Not Dead" with Trinity Adair & Phillip Bond
DESCRIPTION:“Memphis R&B Is Not Dead” with Trinity Adair & Phillip Bond \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts \nFriday\, March 6\, 2025 \nDoors open at 7 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM \n$20 in advance (plus fees) | $25 at the door  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIn early 2025\, online discourse reignited a long-standing conversation about the state of the Memphis R&B scene—and\, more broadly\, the misconception that Memphis music exists in only one lane. The truth is far richer: Memphis is home to a dynamic spectrum of sound\, from alternative to traditional genres\, each brimming with artistry\, identity\, and cultural weight. For those who claim they can only hear one genre\, they simply aren’t listening closely enough. This collaboration between Trinity Adair and Phillip Bond aims to change that. \nTrinity Adair is a Nashville-raised singer-songwriter and recent University of Memphis Music Business graduate whose Memphis journey has been defined by passion\, curiosity\, and community. Trinity has already left her mark on the city—hosting the weekly radio show For the Gworlz on 91.7 FM WYXR\, collaborating with a diverse roster of local artists\, and contributing her talents to the historic Overton Park Shell. \nPhillip Bond is a 29-year-old Tennessee native. Born in Jackson and raised in Memphis\, his roots bleed music\, imagination\, and authenticity. From performing at a young age in church and in choirs to performing as a background singer for Kristen Chenoweth\, Phillip knows that music is what he was destined for. While he was studying at the University of Memphis\, he went on to perform in multiple choir groups\, feature in Pentatonix’s music video for “O Come\, All Ye Faithful”\, opened for K Michelle and Jeremiah\, and sang with American soprano\, Angela Brown.  \nThis show doesn’t just entertain; it proves a point: Memphis music is alive\, expansive\, and more diverse than ever.

DESCRIPTION:  \nFolk All Y’all: Lilly Hiatt\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts \nSunday\, February 15\, 2026 \nDoors open at 7PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM \nTickets $20  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBorn in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee\, Lilly Hiatt (she/her) first earned buzz with a pair of early solo records before breaking out with 2017’s Trinity Lane. Produced by Shovels & Rope’s Michael Trent\, the record helped Hiatt earn dates with the likes of John Prine\, Margo Price\, Drive-By Truckers\, and Hiss Golden Messenger in addition to festival slots everywhere from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. NPR called the album “courageous and affecting\,” while The Independent raved that it showcased Hiatt’s “gift for unpicking knotty lyrical themes in a personalised blend of countrified rock music\,” and Rolling Stone hailed it as “the most cohesive and declarative statement of the young songwriter’s career.” Hiatt delivered on the album’s promise with her similarly well-received 2020 follow-up\, Walking Proof\, and\, unable to tour due to the pandemic\, quickly returned to the studio again for 2021’s Lately\, which The Boston Herald said showcased her “knack for plainspoken\, poetic lyrics” and Uncut proclaimed to be “captivating.”
