SUMMARY:Those Pretty Wrongs
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Those Pretty Wrongs in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, April 5\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $25 (plus fees) \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThose Pretty Wrongs enter their tenth year as a band having just toured the U.S.\, UK\, and Australia in support of their best-reviewed album yet\, Holiday Camp\, which Mojo called “irresistible” for its “celestial harmonies and dealing with wrangled emotions” while Uncut hailed the album for its “dreamily autumnal mastery of the power pop form” — but\, how did they get here? \nJody Stephens and Luther Russell have a musical partnership borne of a deep and lasting friendship\, the roots of which stretch back to 1992 when they were first introduced. As the story goes\, nary a note of music was made between them until 2013 when they were united for the documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me about Jody’s alma mater\, the legendary Memphis group Big Star. They noticed their voices harmonised really well and set about writing songs and recording them forthwith. \nAfter releasing their self-titled debut Those Pretty Wrongs in 2016 to a healthy dose of acclaim\, Jody and Luther hit the road\, managing to play for audiences all around the globe. And in the course of these runs\, they began to forge the sound for their second offering\, 2019’s Zed For Zulu\, an earthy meditation on human interaction and communication. The music as always was a symphony of chords and melodies\, yet played in an understated fashion\, without too much fuss. Those Pretty Wrongs don’t have time to fuss\, as Luther dwells in Los Angeles and Jody still resides in Memphis. And they like it that way. “The first record was sort of a little miracle that could\, and I truly never expected to even make a second. But here we are with our third LP out\, Holiday Camp…”\, says Luther with more than a few notes of wonder. \nJody Stephens’ contribution to the pop canon goes well beyond his beginnings in Big Star\, helping to refine alt-country with Golden Smog\, and shaping the Ardent Studios legacy well into the current era. \nLuther maintains his long-storied career as a solo artist\, producer and songwriter\, having recently been inducted into the Oregon Music Hall Of Fame and composed for the Grammy-winning album Blood Harmony by Larkin Poe. After all these years\, the working approach to the way Jody and Luther make music together is aptly summed up: Those Pretty Wrongs have it when it “seems right”. \nArtwork always comes from Luther’s inks and pencils\, and the words mainly flow from Jody’s pen and paper. Those Pretty Wrongs will hit the UK this September to bring a decade of their music to everyone they can. “Coming out on the other side of making these records and feeling good about them is the grand reward\,” contemplates Jody. “It’s a shared experience of those that help along the way.”

SUMMARY:Spring Is in the Air: Patrice Williamson and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Spring Is in the Air: Patrice Williamson and Friends in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, March 30\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nPatrice Williamson’s childhood home in Memphis was filled with song. Her late father\, Webster Williamson\, an avid amateur singer\, introduced his children to both sacred music and the secular styles of greats like Louis Armstrong\, Nat King Cole\, and Lena Horne. With the encouragement of her mother\, Lillie Williamson\, Patrice followed in the footsteps of her sister\, Denise\, taking up the violin and making her performance debut at age four. From then on\, she was hooked on music and performing. \nShe still carries that dream with her today\, and Patrice’s sensitive ballad work and fluent scat style have garnered invitations to perform at The Regattabar in Cambridge\, MA\, the famed Blue Note Jazz club in New York City\, and with many well-known jazz artists such as Danilo Perez\, Joe Lovano\, Sean Jones\, and Terri Lyne Carrington. Back in her hometown of Memphis\, she has performed at Lafayette’s Music Room and at Alfred’s on Beale Street\, one of the most iconic streets in America. \nHer independent recordings\, My Shining Hour\, Free to Dream and Comes Love\, an album celebrating the collaboration between Fitzgerald and legendary guitarist Joe Pass\, have received high praise from jazz critics around the country. \nJazz Times magazine states that “Patrice Williamson isn’t a singer\, she’s a one-woman jazz sampler. — She is a woman of many voices\, each distinctly intriguing\, all distinctly her own.”

SUMMARY:Art Edmaiston with Ra Kalam Bob Moses
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Art Edmaiston with Ra Kalam Bob Moses in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, March 22\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nMemphis saxophonist Art Edmaiston wants to share his version of “Ecstatic Energy Music” with the world. Thirty-plus years of experience touring and performing on stages and in  recording studios with a wide array of artists (Gregg Allman\, Bobby “Blue” Bland\, the Doobie  Brothers\, JJ Grey & Mofro\, Stevie Wonder\, Little Feat\, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Justin Timberlake) earned Edmaiston the ability to enhance music in colorful and exciting ways that  make him a crucial element in every setting. Art’s voluptuous sound on the tenor saxophone  was sculpted from years spent playing R&B and blues in Memphis\, but has origins in the small country town of Troy\, Tennessee\, where he grew up playing alone in wide open cow pastures and soybean fields. Now at the age of 51\, Edmaiston feels ready to make music that looks forward while being fully present in the moment. \nAfter a year of intense mentorship with legendary percussionist/composer/visual artist Ra  Kalam Bob Moses\, Edmaiston’s improvisations have a fresh energy that feature melodic lines alternating between husky subtones and brilliant multiphonic flourishes. Art has developed a unique and creative approach to the soprano saxophone that makes use of smeared notes\, pitch bends and tonal manipulations offering listeners an aural picture of abstract liberated instrumental expression unlike anything heard in mainstream music performances. \nThe upcoming concert at The Green Room will showcase Edmaiston on saxophones along with master rhythmatist Ra Kalam on drums/percussion/gongs in various instrumental configurations with an eclectic mix of talented guests.

Raised in Florida\, Julie is turning heads in Nashville’s country music scene with the soft but powerful songs that capture the soul of growing up as a mixed-race child in the South. \nMusic has always been a part of Julie’s life — honing her singing talent in church and beach bars and belting national anthems before packed stadiums. She grew up listening to everyone and everything\, from The Chicks and James Taylor\, to Gladys Knight and Michael Jackson. Even though she was drawn to the storytelling of country music\, she never quite found the sound that spoke to everything she was: Black\, white\, Southern\, a woman\, hopeful\, truthful. So naturally\, it was up to Julie to make this sound. “My music is mixed like me\,” is how she describes it\, “I want to tell the stories that need to be told.”

He began pursuing music seriously at 16 and worked the club circuit steadily into his 20s\, when he was seen by actor and R&B superstar Tyrese Gibson\, who asked the budding musician to open for him at the Dallas House of Blues. Tyrese introduced Timbo to GRAMMY-winning vocalist and producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds\, who signed Timbo to a record deal and took him on the road\, cementing Timbo’s rapidly expanding career as one of the major young artists reclaiming American roots music’s association with the Black experience in the 21st century. \nHis most recent albums are 2021’s Lovers and Fools Vol. 1and follow-up Lovers and Fools Vol. 2 released last year. These albums represent Timbo’s fully-realized steps into Americana\, and showcase a musician whose has found his true voice — a voice full of passion\, power\, and depth. \nAbout The Green Room: Operated by Crosstown Arts\, The Green Room is committed to providing the best possible environment for the two most important components of a musical performance: the artists work and the audiences listening experience. \nAbout Folk All Y’all: Intimate\, attentive performances by exceptional singer-songwriters\, proudly presented in Memphis\, Folk All Y’all is a public\, nonprofit listening room series supported by our pledges from our community. \nEntry requirements may change but your purchase indicates acceptance of any necessary health policy.

He is known and loved for his transformational live concerts performed on his personally curated set of gongs\, bells and other metal instruments. \nA lifelong multi-instrumentalist\, Tamburo has focused his talents on metal percussion instruments\, string instruments (hammered dulcimer\, guitar\, zither\, shahi baaja)\, as well as electronic instruments (synths\, looping). \nSince 1994\, Tamburo has shared more than 2\,000 concerts and workshops. He has recorded over 70 albums\, both solo and in collaboration with Crown of Eternity\, Meisha\, Arco Flute Foundation\, Psychic Frost\, Brother Ong and more\, ranging from epic gong music to ecstatic and transcendental string music\, as well as folk\, drone\, space rock\, ambient\, mantra music and sometimes unclassifiable sounds. This man loves music in all its forms! \nHe teaches gong music\, both in person and online with School of Gong. He is also a part of the far-reaching ethnomusicology trio\, Dig Deeper\, with Mitch Nur and Thomas Orr Anderson. Their online classes have explored countless musical concepts with a focus on the cultural and personal uses of soundfor healing\, meditation\, trance\, ecstatic states\, relaxation\, self transformation\, perception\, psycho-acoustics\, scientific discovery\, time and community. \nAn early adoptee of meditation\, Tamburo’s music offers space for journeying\, self-exploration and deep introspection. During many of his early performances\, he experienced altered states of consciousness and out of body experiences. To understand these experiences\, he explored kundalini yoga\, energy work\, the therapeutic use of sound and how sound impacts consciousness\, human perception and self healing. His love for long sustained drones\, overtones and psychoacoustics continues to inspire him to explore music in further directions. \nTamburo is also an interdisciplinary sound artist\, instrument builder\, video artist\, sound therapist\, writer and meditation teacher. \nwww.miketamburomusic.com \nSean Murphy\nSean Murphy is a multidisciplinary artist living in Memphis\, Tennessee.  He is a musician\, composer\, instrument maker\, sound healer\, teaching artist\, nature lover\, listener\, explorer… \nBorn in Scooba\, Mississippi and raised in Memphis\, he attended the University of Memphis earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Music History with an emphasis on Ethnomusicology.  He was trained to play western classical and jazz tuba; but his fascination with world cultures and music has led him to play and make innumerable instruments. \nEarly in his career\, he began performing as a solo improvisation musician accompanying dance and yoga which eventually led him to the practice of sound healing.  Sean and his wife\, Anne J. Froning\, have led workshops in restorative yoga & mediative movement with music throughout the United States. \nAs a performing and recording musician\, Sean has delved into nearly every genre into which music has ever been categorized!  From classical to hip hop\, world to ambient\, jazz to hard rock\, new age to jazz\, he is equally at home.  He is the leader of the Mighty Souls Brass Band as well as regularly playing as a sideman with many jazz groups while also regularly performing improvised music for dance\, healing\, and yoga.  He also has many recording credits to his name as a soloist\, bandleader\, and sideman.  He has also been fortunate enough to perform with many world-renowned musicians and bands including Dr. John\, Paul Winter\, William Eaton\, the Meters\, Galactic\, Clyde Stubblefield\, Rufus Thomas\, and Robert Randolph & the Family Bandto name a few. \nHe and Anne co-own Being:Art LLC\, a fusion arts company specializing in music\, dance\, visual art\, instrument making\, and site-specific design.  The company builds musical instruments for outdoor classrooms; and conducts workshops\, residencies\, and performances throughout the United States.  Their largest public installation can be found in the courtyard of Overton Square in Memphis.  OS Tower Chimes is one of the ten largest sets of wind chimes in the world. \nSean currently splits his time between performing and recording as a solo artist\, presenting healing arts experiences with yoga/dance and live music (often in collaboration with Anne)\, leading the Mighty Souls Brass Band\, building functional art in the form of musical instruments\, and spending as much time with his granddaughters as possible!

Collaborating with lighting designer Alex Deahl\, the quintet has experimented with an ensemble-controlled lighting setup and choreography to create a seamless and immersive musical experience. \nThe City of Tomorrow’s members are based in New York\, Boston\, Baton Rouge\, and Memphis and are in demand as new music specialists\, curators\, collaborators\, and teachers. As an ensemble\, they have been in residence at Vermont College of Fine Arts\, Berklee College of Music\, Indiana University\, Tufts\, and Yale.

By popular demand\, a second show for Lawrence Matthews’ return to the stage has been added! ⁠\n⁠\nOn Friday\, January 26\, at 9:30 pm\, the multi-hyphenated artist Lawrence Matthews will perform for the first night since retiring his former stage name Don Lifted at the Overton Park Shell in 2022. Independent and sitting on an album and a half of new material\, this performance features all new compositions only heard by a select few at private listening events over the last year. Known for his performances’ visual spectacle\, Matthews dials it back offering a undistracted and direct connection between himself and the audience while presenting a full-bodied reflection of the south and its unrelenting hold both spiritually and physically.
