SUMMARY:Ryan Lee Crosby and Grant Smith with Shaun Marsh in The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Blues musician Ryan Lee Crosby will perform with George Sluppick (drums) and Grant Smith (calabash and percussion)\, with an opening set by Shaun Marsh. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7 pm | Performance 7:30 pm \n“Ryan Lee Crosby plays the blues with such a fervor he makes you believe that the road to paradise goes straight through the devil’s music.” — Gästeliste \nRyan Lee Crosby’s sound “is an update on the ghostly\, close-to-the-bone approach of Delta bluesman Skip James. But don’t be fooled — the legendary Burnside and Kimbrough clans are among his gurus\, and he’s learned well.” — Nashville Scene \nRyan Lee Crosby is expanding a tradition of Mississippi blues\, combining the Hill Country and Bentonia styles with sounds from North India and West Africa. The Boston-based singer-songwriter returns to the Southern US in January 2020\, following his eighth tour of Europe and a sold-out show at City Winery. \nIn 2019\, Crosby made several pilgrimages to Memphis and Mississippi to meet some of the most celebrated bluesmen in the Delta\, including Bentonia blues legend Jimmy “Duck” Holmes and Duck Hill’s Willie Farmer. During this time\, Crosby also performed at the Bentonia Blues Festival and Clarksdale’s Juke Joint Festival and recorded an album with renowned producer Bruce Watson at his Memphis studio. An accomplished guitarist himself\, Crosby will perform on 12-string and lap style guitars\, backed by Memphis’ own George Sluppick on drums and Boston’s Grant Smith on calabash. Crosby’s performance is an intriguing mix of improvisation\, composition\, and conversation that honors lineage\, while staying true to his own voice. \nRiver Music\, Crosby’s sixth full-length album\, is out now (CosiRecords Schallplatten/Knick Knack Records). Deep Blues (USA) describes River Music as “delightfully dangerous and menacing” and Terrascope (UK) deems it “excellent.” Keys and Chords (Belgium) praises the album as “hypnotic … a pleasant mix.” Rootsville (Belgium) calls River Music “intriguing … the blues seeps through the dynamic vocals and masterful guitar lines of Crosby.” Hippiesland (Germany) says River Music is a “life-affirming… an extraordinary collaboration in world music in the true sense.” \nCrosby has been nominated for two Boston Music Awards and was named “Best Singer/Songwriter” in the 2006 Boston Phoenix/WFNX Radio Music Poll. He composed and performed the film score for the award-winning documentary Racing the Rez (PBS). Crosby tours Europe annually and select US regions\, including recent performances at Mississippi’s renowned Juke Joint\, Bentonia Blues and Deep Blues Festivals. He currently lives in Medford\, Massachusetts\, and performs regularly in the greater Boston area.

SUMMARY:The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series: Alberto Lombardi
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents The Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Series\, a monthly concert series showcasing internationally acclaimed guitarists. \nThis series is in partnership with the Little Rock-based Argenta Acoustic Music Series. January’s performance features Italian virtuoso guitarist Alberto Lombardi in an intimate\, solo performance. \nTickets: $15\nDoors 7pm | Performance 7:30pm \nItalian virtuoso guitarist Alberto Lombardi is an internationally renowned acoustic solo fingerstyle and electric rock player. His captivating acoustic performances are comprised of elaborate arrangements of great classics both of the Italian and international tradition\, incorporating fingerpicking\, flatpicking\, some looping and singing\, but also original songs and compositions. \nHe toured extensively in Europe and USA\, playing major guitar festivals like Muriel Anderson’s All Star gui/tar Night\, Peter Finger’s International Guitar Night\, Chet Atkins Appreciation Society\, Sarzana and also in clubs like NYC Rockwood music hall and Nashville’s City Winery. \nIncluded among the eight guitarists to watch in 2018 by Vintage Guitar Magazine and among the best ten emerging fingerstyle guitarists in the world by Guitar Masters Poland\, Alberto is a Taylor Guitars and B&G guitars supported artist. \nHis arrangement of “Volare” gained Stefan Grossman’s attention\, resulting in Grossman releasing an instructional video of Alberto’s work. Alberto then went on to release multiple albums and instructional videos for Stefan Grossman and Peter Finger. His records have received many great reviews\, first of all from the master himself Tommy Emmanuel (“It sounds beautiful \,and your playing and arrangements are very powerful! Big admiration to you!”)\, but also from renowned magazines such as Acoustic Guitar\, Fingerstyle Journal\, Vintage guitar\, Minor 7th\, Chitarra acustica. \nAs an electric soloist\, Alberto has rocked stages as big as Italian Stadiums like Olimpico and San Siro\, or Pavillao Atlantico in Lisboa. He’s now touring with the Alberto Lombardi Stratocaster tribute\, interpreting all the great music performed on the Strat by legends like Clapton\, Hendrix\, Gilmour\, SRV\, etc. \nHis arrangements are very personal\, derived from the different musical experiences Alberto has in rock\, jazz\, country\, and pop as a session player. Yet they’re rooted in the style of the great Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel. He digs into complex arrangements of Italian and american classics\, translating them on the guitar (Georgia on my mind\, Volare\, ‘O Sole Mio)\, picking up clever harmonic movements from those great arrangers and composers and making them his own\, on the six string. \nAlberto has also been a session player\, studio owner and record producer/arranger/mixer for 25 years\, based in Rome Italy. His collaborations are diverse and range from pop artists like Robbie Dupree and the original singers of the band Chic\, to legend mixing engineer Bob Clearmountain (Springsteen\, Rolling Stones\, Bryan Adams).

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT The Love Light Orchestra at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out! \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a special performance by The Love Light Orchestra. \nThe Love Light Orchestra celebrates the Memphis big band blues-style found on the 1950s and ’60s singles of Bobby “Blue” Bland\, B.B. King and Herman ”Junior” Parker. The band of seasoned Memphis musicians derives their name from Bland’s 1961 hit “Turn On Your Love Light.” Their sound is completed with the soulful voice of bluesman John Nemeth. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7:30 pm | Show at 8 pm \nIn addition to dipping into the catalogs of Buddy Ace\, Freddie King\, and Percy Mayfield\, the band demonstrates their deftness with uptown blues via the solid originals “Singing For My Supper\, “Lonesome and High\,” and the Ray Charles-inspired opener “See Why I Love You.” Casual fans of Memphis music might only recognize their cover of Al Green’s iconic “Love and Happiness\,” but it’s reset here as a shuffle\, building upon riffs that horn player\, Marc Franklin\, says were inspired by Charles Mingus’ “Fables of Faubus.” \nThe Love Light Orchestra’s overall sound\, says Franklin\, was inspired by Joe Scott whose work Franklin discovered after he was hired to play with Bland in the early ‘90s. “The first time I heard his work\, it sounded like Ellington\, but more down-home with extended harmonics that you don’t necessarily hear on blues or soul records. It’s a jazz thing\, throwing extra notes into the chords—at Stax they didn’t do 6th chords.” \nGrammy-winning producer/engineer Matt Ross-Spang cut the record live at the tiny DKDC bar in Memphis\, and recalls “it was more or less done after we cut it. This music is really supposed to be heard live\, to be in the room to feel the horns\, and it turned out magically — lightning in a bottle twelve times in just a couple hours.” — Scott Baretta\, former editor of Living Blues

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Don Bryant feat. The Bo-Keys
DESCRIPTION:This event has sold out!  \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by Don Bryant feat. The Bo-Keys. \nTickets: $15\nDoors 7pm | Show 7:30pm \nYou know that old song that O. V. Wright did so well in 1971\, and no one can ever do that song again — “Nickel and a Nail”? O. V. Wright has held tight to that song and rightfully so. But not no mo. Not to take anything from O.V.\, but after nearly half a century\, now you gotta step aside. Don Bryant is here. \nThough it ain’t like he just showed up. The roots of this record are in the Memphis church\, where Don Bryant began singing when he was 5. He joined his father’s family vocal group\, then formed a gospel quartet for a high school radio gig. Broadcasting broadened the audience\, and they went secular\, singing pop at WLOK on Dick “Cane” Cole’s popular show. After parting with the DJ\, they took a very real step toward careers when\, as the Four Kings\, they began fronting Willie Mitchell’s band. \nWillie Mitchell led the swingingest\, groovin’est band in the Memphis-Mississippi-Arkansas area — the American music floodplain (He would later discover Al Green and make him a star.) Willie’s band was known for instrumental records\, but when they’d play at Danny’s in West Memphis\, Don’s group fronted them. The group broke up and Willie\, who was touring concert venues and dance halls\, needed a vocalist who could play with his supple\, slinky\, funky beats and anointed Don Bryant as his leading man. \nDon could also write songs. He was still in his teens when\, in 1960\, Willie was producing the 5 Royales\, and Don handed him “I Got To Know.” The 5 Royales put it on wax. Don was hot in the spotlight and in the writer’s room. \nAs Willie Mitchell carved out his place at Hi Records\, Don was close by. Don cut songs at Hi under the Four Kings moniker (“That Driving Beat”) and as a solo artist (“Don’t Turn Your Back On Me”). He wrote material for other Hi artists\, including Janet & the Jays and Norman West. In 1969\, still in the age of 7” singles\, Don was popular enough to release an album — though the big breakout hit stayed elusive. \nAround 1970\, Willie put Don with the Hi label’s newest act\, Ann Peebles\, who burst on the scene with “Part Time Love.” Don looked at this slight young lady and penned “99 Lbs” for her: “You wouldn’t know what I’m talking ’bout/ If you never had a love like this/… 99 lbs of natural born goodness/99 lbs of soul.” The relationship warmed\, they co-wrote the hit “I Can’t Stand the Rain” in 1973 and were married the following year. Ann’s performing career continued\, as did Don’s writing\, and they began raising a family. Occasionally\, Don returned to the microphone\, dueting with his wife\, sometimes releasing gospel material. Always\, he continued to write songs. \nAnd all the while\, that voice was maturing\, mellowing\, until these recordings that find him\, at age 74\, in peak form and taking O. V.’s song. The band is a mix of lifelong cohorts and upstart stalwarts. They understand where he’s been and where he wants to go\, making his song “How Do I Get There\,” a rhetorical question\, because they have clearly found the way. \nI was lucky and popped by the end of the recording sessions. They’d just cut “One Ain’t Enough” and were listening to playback. Veteran drummer Howard Grimes\, also of Willie Mitchell’s tutelage and the drummer on many of Don’s Hi sessions—he couldn’t keep from keeping the beat and he stepped to the middle of the control room floor. The Soul Train line formed. \nHoward’s arms came up and his feet went down. His eyes took a distant look and he was transported beyond the slow grind. His backbone slipped\, he began to dip\, everyone shouted and clapped. This kind of music moved audiences then and it moves them now. Even the music makers can’t stand still. Soul survivors\, young and old — nothing holds them back. \n–Robert Gordon\, Memphis\, 2017

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT D'Monet at the The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:This event has sold out! Sorry for the inconvenience. \nJoin us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a special performance by D’Monet. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nHow an artist starts a journey can say a lot about their destination; belting out melodies from the womb is a divine beginning. Having received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Vocal Music Performance at LeMoyne Owen College\, along with studying under some of opera’s greatest powerhouses such as Grace Bumbry\, Vera Little\, even abroad in Pisa\, Italy under world-renowned Pilralba Sorga\, the classically trained voice known as D’Monet cannot be defined as a Jazz\, Rhythm\, and Blues or a Pop singer\, but she has redefined the meaning of the traditional soul artist in what she calls “Alkaline Music” (music that heals). \nD’Monet allows you to travel on contorted twists of loves’ successes and failures; all while exercising her massive vocal prowess to the center stage. Nurturing her vocal gifts from the tender age of four\, along with developing her ear for the piano by age seven\, she now is a seasoned veteran. D’Monet has shared her soul from New York to Los Angeles\, but it’s only natural she makes Memphis\, Tennessee the home of her “Futuristic Soul.” \nAs D’Monet inspires those within her artistic circle\, she soaks inspiration from classic triple threat artists such as: Anita Baker\, Oleta Adams\, Celine Dion\, Luther Vandross\, Stevie Wonder\, and Rachelle Ferrell. D’Monet has a gift for building bridges between a song and her audience\, crossing cultural and musical genres. This elegant songstress approaches each note with a sophisticated passion\, which leaves the listener wanting more. \nD’Monet’s recordings can only be matched by her live performances in various venues around Memphis\, TN. She has been featured on numerous stages and sets and her sound has allowed her to branch out across several genres. She was honored to perform as the special guest for Black Enterprise’s Women of Power Summit in 2012. Having shared the stage with Soul Crooner Eric Roberson\, and also having a brief stint as a background singer for Blackstreet’s Dave Hollister\, D’Monet has become a musical mainstay\, particularly in the city of Memphis. In 2011\, D’Monet was featured on Markevius Faulkner‘s hit single ‘Day One’\, which received major radio airplay on WHAL-FM’S 95.7 Hallelujah FM. In the wake of Day One’s success\, D’Monet released her debut single\, Oooh Baby (Got Your Back)! \nIn 2013\, D’Monet uprooted herself from her hometown and moved to Des Moines\, IA\, where she unsuspectedly became the Assistant Minister of Music and Vocal Director at a local church\, the front woman and keyboard player for two funk/soul bands R.S.V.P. and The Tighten Up band\, and also made two appearances on KCWI’s “Great Day” Morning Show performing her original music. After returning to Memphis a few years later\, she began releasing more original music. \nOn February 28\, 2019\, D’Monet released her new single “Dry” which is now available on all major digital outlets and streams. Her next single “Trauma” soon followed on May 31\, 2019\, which talks about a physical assault that left her traumatized for a long time. On September 6\, 2019\, D’Monet released her Chrysalis EP\, which signifies the evolution of her life and her music. Stay tuned for what’s next. Her quest to continue along her musical journey is just beginning.

SUMMARY:Chris Stamey & Friends at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Green Room for a special concert of Chris Stamey’s New Songs for the 20th Century (Omnivore Recordings)\, new original compositions inspired by the canon of the Great American Songbook. \nWith a full acoustic band — including Memphis luminaries Jack Cooper\, winds\, & Carl Casperson\, ac. bass\, along with NC’s Charles Cleaver\, piano — and guest singers Skylar Gudasz\, Brett Harris\, Django Haskins\, and more. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n‘Musicians from Rod Stewart to Bob Dylan have turned to the Great American Songbook to revive their creative juices. But Chris Stamey has taken a different approach. Instead of singing other people’s compositions\, he’s rearranged a handful of old songs and written a raft of new ones that are akin to material for a 1958 recording session by Frank Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald.’— Geoffrey Himes review\, Downbeat Magazine\, September\, 2019 \n‘This is a prodigious project that asks for real attention. Fortunately\, the gift of this music pays off in timeless beauty and unlimited inspiration. It’s like the past has been reinvigorated by the present\, with nothing lost and everything gained.’ — Bill Bentley review\, Americana Highways\, July 10\, 2019 \nNew Songs for the 20th Century is an amazing album. The songs astound\, as if lifted out of a time machine . . . Those familiar with the Great American Songbook will likely be enthralled by this rich collection. Backed by the Mod Rec Orchestra\, many great musicians bring Stamey’s new songs to life. The beautiful and luxurious “I Don’t Believe in Romance” features singer Caitlin Cary and has the magic of a Burt Bacharach classic; the wistful “What is This Music that I Hear?” and “On an Evening Such as This” are both bolstered by singer Kirsten Lambert’s affecting vocals. The jazzy “There’s Not a Cloud in the Sky” and more contemporary “I Am Yours” are among the memorable tracks on disc one. The jazzy “Beneath the Underdog” (featuring Marshall Crenshaw\, Don Dixon and Django Haskins)\, the beautiful “In Spanish Harlem\,” and nuanced “Lover\, Can You Hear Me?” bring equal power to the second disc.’ — Robert Kinsler\, Rock ‘N’ Roll Truth (blog) \n‘This is a sprawling\, brilliant piece of work: 26 songs across two CDs\, and each one is a masterpiece. And\, even better\, there are unmistakable Chris Stamey footprints throughout . . . I’m not sure how old someone has to get before you can’t call him a “Boy Genius” anymore\, but at least I know now that it’s post-60.’ — Mike Fornatale\, Shindig\, July 8\, 2019. \n‘JazzTimes is honored to present the premiere of the video for “Manhattan Melody (That’s My New York)” by Chris Stamey and the ModRec Orchestra. . . . [B]oth the song and the album aren’t quite what you’d expect based on his résumé’ — the influence of the Great American Songbook is strong\, and the overall sound is much closer to jazz than rock. It doesn’t hurt that Stamey brought in some ringers here: Branford Marsalis on tenor sax\, Matt Douglas on clarinet\, Jim Crew (along with Stamey himself) on piano\, Jason Foureman on bass\, and Dan Davis on drums. Django Haskins is the vocalist\, one of more than a dozen singers who alternate tracks throughout the album\, including Nnenna Freelon\, Ariel Pocock\, and power-pop maestro Marshall Crenshaw.’ — Jazz Times\, June 28\, 2019

SUMMARY:Rob Jungklas at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Rob Jungklas performs songs from his project\, “Gone To Water\,” at The Green Room. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRob Jungklas came roaring back into the Memphis music psyche with 3 new critically acclaimed recordings in a few short years: Arkadelphia\, Gully\, and Mapping The Wreckage. Ever prolific\, he has released four more since his reemergence. The Spirit and The Spine\, Nothing To Fade\, and Blackbirds on Madjack Records\, and 7 Sisters. \nHe issued his debut LP\, Closer to the Flame\, in 1987 on Manhattan Records. On the strength of an MTV video aired for the single “Boys Town\,” the record garnered airplay and modest chart success for his effort\, while creating the iconic regional anthem “Memphis Thing.” \nThe more reflective Work Songs for a New Moon\, that followed two years later on RCA\, showcased Jungklas’ nuanced blend of pop songwriting and Memphis style R&B. \nLee Froelich calls Rob’s songs “profane and poetic\, haunted by ghost and damnation” and the sentiments are echoed by the likes of Rolling Stones’ David Fricke who describes the sounds as “bloodied bottleneck guitar and choked prayer.” \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n

On December 4th\, Milam will perform a sneak peek of songs from his upcoming record. However\, the show’s centerpiece will be collaboration: Milam will invite an all-star cast of Memphis artists to debut the songs they’ve written together. \n“Everyone knows that Memphis is full of great artists doing exciting work\,” Milam says. “But lately I’m drawn to the amount of collaboration I see behind the scenes. I want this concert to bring that spirit to the forefront. I want Memphis music fans to see the fruits of those sessions\, to continue seeing their favorite artists in new ways.”

SUMMARY:The Music of James Austin\, Jr.: Songs in the Key of Wonder
DESCRIPTION:Jazz tribute to Stevie Wonder featuring James Austin\, Jr. (acoustic piano)\, Carl Capersen (acoustic bass)\, and James Sexton (drums). \nTickets: $15\nDoors at 6:30 pm | Show at 7pm \nThe Crosstown Jazz Series\, presented by Strictly Jazz Entertainment in collaboration with Crosstown Arts\, is designed to salute classic jazz music as contemporary musicians perform the work of the legends. \nHailing from the windy city of Chicago\, James Austin\, Jr. has established himself as an accomplished pianist and bandleader. He honed his craft under the tutelage of a number of legendary musicians\, including extensive study with renowned jazz educator Barry Harris\, receiving numerous accolades and awards along the way\, including the honor of being selected as a semi-finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano competition. Each year\, he has curated and led the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) Jazz Jam series since its inception. \nAll of these experiences have culminated into a debut offering that pays tribute to one of his longtime heroes\, Stevie Wonder\, titled Songs in the Key of Wonder. Austin has long considered Wonder as one of the greatest composers of our time. Others have covered Wonder’s tunes on numerous occasions and for good reason\, but Austin’s arrangements focus deeply on the colorizations and appealing flavor of Wonder’s mainstay hits.

SUMMARY:The Knights of Jazz at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a special performance by The Knights of Jazz with Paul McKinney. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nPaul McKinney’s smooth jazz approach hints at legends like Miles Davis\, George Duke\, and Kirk Whalum. \n“Paul’s Memphis\, Tennessee\, roots lend a spiritual blues-iness that quickly draws you in. You will feel something when Brother Paul plays that trumpet. You don’t have to waste time analyzing it technically\, harmonically\, arrangements\, production\, blablablah. It’s all good\, trust me. But do yourself a favor and close your eyes and listen to Brother Paul play that horn. There’s a message in it\,” — Kirk Whalum \nPaul’s first solo project single\, “Cecelia\,” is receiving rave reviews from across the country\, and upon hearing the track\, Henry Nelson (Executive Director/Carpenter Arts Garden) had this to say: “I got goose pimples when this piece started the first time and grew teary when the trumpet kicked in. I had Miles Davis memories and felt joyful at the introduction of the sax as the snare and bass tickled. It is a perfect mix!” \n“The fruit don’t fall too far from the tree. This fruit’s tree is someone I worked with\, learned so much from in my developing years\, a piano playing genius\, his father Kurl McKinney. So yeah\, you’re getting the benefit and taste of some of Memphis greatest fruit in your ear hole in Paul McKinney\,” — David Porter\, National Songwriters Hall of Fame \nThe Knights of Jazz are a collection of some of Memphis’ finest and most versatile musicians. Their concept involves creating music that is fun and entertaining\, yet has value and spirituality underneath it.

SUMMARY:L.A.P.D. at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for a performance by Memphis-based jazz group\, L.A.P.D. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nComprised of four hard-working musicians from Memphis\, L.A.P.D. respects the city’s rich musical heritage while forging new ground\, all in the name of the groove. \nL.A.P.D. is Logan Hanna on guitar\, Arthur Edmaiston on saxophone\, Patrick Fusco on organ\, and Danny Banks on drums and cymbals. \nThe deep swing and tough grooves played by this band of professionals was honed through years of logging late nights in clubs and on tours around the globe. So much attention has been given to the study of the music recorded in the 1960s (sometimes referred to as “soul jazz”) that listeners will wonder if they have been transported back in time. \nL.A.P.D. presents music that harkens back to an era when there was always a Hammond organ in the nightclub and everyone came to have a good time. The beautifully complex instrumental tones and their authentic rhythmic feel for the organ-fueled soul jazz music of yesteryear will make you want to shout! \nThe eclectic repertoire consists of titles spanning several generations of music with all of it delivered in the classic organ quartet style made famous by Jack McDuff\, Lonnie Smith\, Lou Donaldson\, and Big John Patton. \nWhat sets L.A.P.D. apart is the arranging and composing skills of Patrick and Logan. Several original compositions are present in the band’s book as well as sly arrangements of familiar classic and modern rock radio staples. If you have ever wondered what the melodies of Jimi Hendrix and Soundgarden might sound like filtered through a greasy saxophone\, then L.A.P.D. has that and more in store for you.

SUMMARY:Mighty Souls Brass Band at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for special performance by Mighty Souls Brass Band. \nTickets: $10\nDoors 7pm | Performance 7:30pm \nMighty Souls Brass Band\, a Memphis‐based rotating collective of composer‐players versed in a multitude of musical traditions\, isn’t a soul band\, nor is it a funk band\, a marching band\, or a swing band. And yet\, depending on where you catch them live\, you’ll hear all of those influences and more from around the globe. \nFor proof\, check the band’s debut album — Lift Up!\, on Blue Barrel Records — largely recorded live\, to catch the infectious synergy of the group. You’ll hear all of these influences\, but you’ll also hear the writing and arrangement talents of MSBB’s members\, who themselves composed ten of the album’s dozen tracks. This vigorously creative impulse to weave something new from the threads of various traditions is what makes Mighty Souls Brass Band a unique act even among brass ensembles. This is a band that knows where its roots lie\, but also where its branches are reaching\, far out into the world\, a world that seems invariably to express its deepest spiritual desires and celebrations through music. \nMighty Souls Brass Band is a group attuned to that desire\, that celebratory spirit. It’s a music that swings\, that soars\, that swoons — all of which is suggested by that profound\, that humble\, that most human of words: “Soul.”

SUMMARY:Folk All Y'all: An Evening with Violet Bell
DESCRIPTION:Folk All Y’all presents An Evening with Violet Bell\, a North Carolina progressive folk duo\, at The Green Room. \nTickets: $20 \nEach 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. \nAbout Folk All Y‘all: Our mission is to present world-class singer-songwriters in an intimate\, attentive environment. Our guests and artists are here to connect and do not distract themselves or other guests with photography\, recording\, or other diversions during the show. We are entirely volunteer-run and 100% of ticket sales go directly to the artist.

SUMMARY:Listening Sessions at the Green Room: McLemore Avenue by Booker T. & The MGs (1970)
DESCRIPTION:For their penultimate album on Stax Records\, Booker T. & the MGs stretched the boundaries of the Memphis Sound\, tackling the Beatles’ masterpiece LP\, Abbey Road. Using the newfound artistic freedom granted since Stax had split with Atlantic Records\, this is the band’s most complex and adventurous recording\, perfectly timed for the rise of FM radio and music that need not fit on one side of a 45. \nThe group also debuted a new look for Joel Brodsky’s iconic album cover\, trading in their matching mohair suits and manicured coiffes for bell-bottoms\, fringe jackets\, and scruffy beards. \nJoining series host Dr. Charles Hughes (Rhodes College) will be members of the MDs\, a Memphis-based Booker T. & the MGs tribute band that performed the entire McLemore Avenue album at the Stax Museum in 2017.  This October\, the band rearranged another Beatles classic\, Revolver\, for a capacity Crosstown Arts crowd. \nFree and open to the public

SUMMARY:Paul Taylor & The PRVLG at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Join multi-instrumentalist\, singer/songwriter\, and producer Paul Taylor and indie-pop duo The PRVLG at The Green Room for a special performance. \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7 pm | Performance at 7:30 pm \n\nABOUT PAUL TAYLOR \nWhat do seemingly disparate artists Chuck Prophet\, Eric Gales\, Shelby Bryant\, David Shouse\, Robert Ellis\, John Nemeth\, Ann Peebles\, Dead Soldiers\, Big Ass Truck\, Lady Rizo\, Amy LaVere\, Mason Ruffner\, Luther Dickinson\, Kelley Mickwee\, The PRVLG\, Cameron Bethany\, Shawn Lane\, Sid Selvidge\, Devil Train\, Aashish Khan\, and many more have in common? \nAnswer: They have all utilized the talents of Memphis musician Paul “Snowflake” Taylor. \nOne of the best kept secrets in Memphis\, yet well respected by those who know of him outside of the city\, multi-instrumentalist\, singer/songwriter\, and producer\, Paul “Snowflake” Taylor has been writing and recording his own material as a one-man band since very early childhood and working as a professional musician since he was 14 years old. \nWith three solo releases under his belt — “Open Closed” (2007) & “Share It” (2009)\, both on Makeshift Records\, and self-released The Old Forest Trail EP (2015)\, Paul has now embarked on a new project called New Memphis Colorways and released a new EP\, Old Forest Loop\, which embodies wide-ranging influences from his storied career as a Memphis musician. \nABOUT THE PRVLG \nA privilege is considered a rare opportunity\, which is exactly why The PRVLG fits this dynamic duo so effortlessly. Their act brings the rhythm section to the forefront of the stage unlike any other band around. \nCreating a timeless sound that seamlessly mixes a vintage flare with a contemporary delivery\, this set of twins certainly bring an element to music that is unheard of. Their blend of Indie pop-esque melodies with some funk\, soul\, jazz\, and r&b make for a Memphis version of Prince. \nWith Christian on bass and Christopher on drums and both singing simultaneously\, the pair craft a truly authentic live show which showcases monster musicianship that is truly one of a kind.

SUMMARY:Tulsa Revue: John Fullbright\, Jesse Aycock\, P Benjaman\, J Tovar
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Green Room for a performance by The Tulsa Music Revue feat. John Fullbright\, Paul Benjaman\, Jacob Tovar\, and special guests. \nThe night starts with a set by Jacob Tovar\, then one by Paul Benjaman\, followed by John Fullbright. The evening wraps with the three joining the backing band for an Oklahoma Jam! \nTickets: $10\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \n\nAbout the artists:\nJOHN FULLBRIGHT: Critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated\, John Fullbright is a musical triple threat – songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, and singer of the highest order. His Oklahoma roots are apparent in his music\, but his sound is his own. Catch a live show and be mesmerized by the artistry of this talented individual. \nPAUL BENJAMAN: Groove-based tunes with more than a nod to the elusive Tulsa Sound and other forms of American music. Signature guitar licks from band leader Paul Benjaman and steel work from Hard Working Americans member\, Jesse Aycock\, apply a vintage hue that is both nostalgic and fresh. \nJACOB TOVAR: A man from a different time\, a different era. With a gentleman’s handshake\, a booming voice\, a contagious smile\, and a quick wit\, this Tulsa\, OK performer effortlessly connects with all walks of life through his sincere songs of roots\, folk\, Americana\, and old school country. \nSpecial Guest Jesse Aycock: Jesse Aycock wrote his first song at age twelve and wrote a song that ended up on his dad’s debut CD when he was fourteen. Jesse’s songs capture an innocence and honesty that is hard to find\, He writes everything from story songs and love songs to songs about every day life and the human condition. In Jesse’s music you hear the influence of early rock and folk\, psychedelic country\, and soul all mixed together to create his sound.
