SUMMARY:DALLAS UGLY
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts present DALLAS UGLY with Cyrena Wages in The Green Room\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, JUNE 6\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 (plus fees) | $25 at the door |\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\nNashville’s Dallas Ugly (Libby Weitnauer\, Owen Burton\, and Eli Broxham) is a band of truly trusted friends who – after a decade of playing together – return with their best work yet.\nSitting somewhere between indie rock and Americana and beautifully produced in collaboration with Grammy-winning engineer Justin Francis\, their sophomore album See Me Now is contemporary\, crisp\, and alive. It is a fiddle-filled entry in the current band-with-guitar renaissance that puts them in conversation with acts like MJ Lenderman\, Big Thief\, and Allegra Krieger while still channelling the sparkly sing-along heights of late 90s radio. The growth of heartache\, finding footing in an unstable world\, and modern anxiety resonate out in soaring harmony.

SUMMARY:Mark Guiliana plays MARK
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Mark Guiliana in The Green Room \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, March 29\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $30 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nHailed by The New York Times as “a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed\,” Grammy-nominated superstar drummer & composer Mark Guiliana brings an adventurous spirit\, eclectic palette\, and gift for spontaneous invention to a staggering range of styles. Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz\, boundary-stretching electronic music\, or next-level rock\, he’s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as St. Vincent\, Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden)\, Brad Mehldau\, M83\, Meshell Ndegeocello\, and the late\, great David Bowie. \nGuiliana’s latest release ‘MARK’\, is his first entirely solo work which boldly showcases him as composer\, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion\, piano\, synthesizers and more. This new foray into his growing body of renowned work\, recorded at Studio 606 in Los Angeles\, is a culmination of Guiliana’s experiences and inspirations\, and at the same time the catalyst of a new direction. ‘MARK’ follows his first two acclaimed Edition Records albums ‘the sound of listening’ and ‘Mischief’.

SUMMARY:Nanocluster (Immersion | SUSS)
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Nanocluster in The Green Room \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nTuesday\, March 18\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIn celebration of the release of Nanocluster Vol.3\, Immersion (Colin Newman & Malka Spigel) in collaboration with ambient country masters SUSS bring their Nanocluster series to North America. One performance comprising a set each from Immersion & SUSS followed by a collaborative set. \n\n\nNanocluster is the extension of Colin and Malka’s relationship\, friendships and commitment to art and ideas. They initially met when Colin produced Malka’s band in 1985. The collaboration started there. They then became a couple and created their own projects\, like the instrumental electronic duo Immersion\, in 1994. \n\nThe songs had been written and rehearsed prior to each performance. This adventure led to a debut album\, Nanocluster Vol 1\, released in 2021 with Stereolab singer/guitarist Laetitia Sadier\, German post-rock duo Tarwater\, electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss and experimental artist Robin Rimbaud (Scanner).  \nNanocluster Vol 2 further developed this idea with a stark beauty that sounds like a future pop with sleek lines and unexpected great melodies. Built around Thor Harris\, the charismatic percussion player from Swans and many other projects\, and Cubzoa (Jack Wolter from the band Penelope Isles).  \nKey to the process is Colin and Malka’s radio show for Slack City radio\, Swimming In Sound with its entertainingly diverse playlist that has widened their horizons. It’s also helped build relationships not only with these collaborators but also musicians like the ambient country masters SUSS\, with whom they have produced Nanocluster Vol.3 which will be released in mid February 2025 followed by extended Nanocluster tour in the USA.  \nMalka: “Nanocluster is collaboration but in a very specific form. We don’t have rules. It’s a series of creative snapshots.” \nColin: “It’s chemistry & music. Malka & I operate as a team and now we’ve taken it to another level.” \nNanocluster is a 21st century collusion of shared ideas\, creating a momentary extended musical family. It’s about musical and personal relationships and the meeting place in the middle. A temporary band of house guests. SUSS just moved\, in ideas merged and new soundscapes were forged. This is the place where Immersion happens.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Wise & Her Guys
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Elizabeth Wise & Her Guys in The Green Room \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, Jan 24\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n“I’ve been all over the world/I’ve seen almost everything/I’ve sung all kinds of places/People call me the queen.” That’s the start of the middle verse from the modern blues standard “Mississippi Woman\,” a gritty song that’s been handed up and down the muddy banks of the mighty river that bears its name and passed along like a secret from the hills of Holly Springs to the juke joints of Memphis and into the hands of Elizabeth Wise\, a folk singer\, guitarist\, and ceramicist who possesses what they used to call an old soul. With a slide in her left hand and conviction in her voice\, Wise inhabits the lines that come next\, delivering them as a mystical incantation and a purposeful statement of fact. “No matter where I go y’all/I give them something real/People all over the world/Need that Mississippi feel.” \nThe Memphis band with songwriting collaborator Bob Buckley and Memphis legends Jim Spake and Tom Lonardo is always a fresh spin on the Wise and Wise/Buckley originals and arrangements of covers.

SUMMARY:Say It Loud: The Overlook Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Iris Collective presents Say It Loud: The Overlook Quartet in The Green Room \nThe Theater at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, January 16\, 2025\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: pay what you wish! \nPAY WHAT YOU WISH \nMonica Davis\, violin\nYezu Woo\, violin\nAngela Pickett\, viola\nLaura Metcalf\, cello \nThe “breathtaking\,” “paradigm-shifting” (New York Music Daily) string quartet The Overlook is a unifying\, community-building force\, whose dedication to a more representative musical tradition reverberates throughout their industry. \nThe Overlook formed from a simple need to make and share music with others during the pandemic shutdown. The longtime friends\, some of New York’s most accomplished string players\, gathered to play outdoors in parks and on street corners in upper Manhattan\, and their community stopped to listen. Through these casual outdoor performances\, they built a following in person and on social media\, connected with local businesses and residential enclaves\, and partnered with important neighborhood cultural centers for their first official performances. They witnessed firsthand the power of music to unite and inspire – all without playing a single note of the string quartet repertoire that has been held up as “standard” for hundreds of years. \nSince their inception in June 2020\, The Overlook has worked to effect permanent change in the “classical music canon” by developing a body of repertoire composed by BIPOC\, female\, and non-binary creators. The quartet has presented masterworks from the past by Florence Price\, Samuel-Coleridge-Taylor\, and Chevalier de Saint-Georges\, as well as works by living composers Trevor Weston\, Eleanor Alberga\, Carlos Simon\, Jessie Montgomery\, Shelley Washington\, Leila Adu\, Forbes Graham\, and many more. The Overlook has enjoyed collaborating with such artists as New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill\, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline\, multi-Grammy nominee Curtis Stewart\, and noted visual artist Linda Sormin. To support their work\, the quartet has been awarded grants by the Eastman School of Music\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Bronx Council on the Arts and Local 802’s Music Performance Trust Fund. \nThe Overlook has developed and presented a new performance series “If the Stars Align” in Uptown-NYC\, with concerts at Washington Heights/Inwood cultural institutions including Hispanic Society of America\, Morris-Jumel Mansion\, Dyckman Farmhouse Museum\, Fort Washington Collegiate Church\, and United Palace Theatre. The quartet recently brought their mission to Lincoln Center at Kaufman Music Center’s “Musical Storefronts”\, Chamber Music NY at Bruno Walter Auditorium\, GatherNYC at the Museum of Arts and Design\, Symphony Space\, Fotografiska New York\, and Wave Hill. Further afield\, the quartet has performed at Chatter ABQ\, WOCO Fest\, The Arts Club of DC\, Music for Montauk\, Mass MoCA\, LeHigh University\, Tuckamore Festival in NL\, Canada\, as well as in a virtual performance presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art that has been streamed nearly 70\,000 times. \nBy building relationships with composers and championing new works\, collaborating with interdisciplinary creators\, re-thinking the concert experience to include non-traditional spaces\, and consistently engaging with their Uptown NYC community\, The Overlook upholds its mission to create a more representative and relevant musical practice.

SUMMARY:Alex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra - Live Score for "Haxan"
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Alex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra – Live Score for “Haxan” in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nWednesday\, October 30\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\nSince 2019\, Alex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra have performed several of Greene’s original scores for silent films before live audiences. In 2022\, Greene was commissioned by the Indie Memphis Film Festival to compose an original score for the masterpiece of the Swedish silent era\, Häxan\, in honor of the film’s centennial\, and it was a smashing success\, receiving a standing ovation. Now\, on Wednesday\, October 30th\, at 7:30 p.m. \, The Green Room at Crosstown Arts will host a reprise performance of Greene’s Häxan score by the RHO as the film unfolds before the audience.\n\n\n\nBilled as a “documentary” about the history of witchcraft\, Häxan recreates supposed rituals and practices of demonized witches in lurid detail\, often by way of exquisite art direction and cinematography. A monumental production for its time\, the historical scenarios it spins take us right up to the modern clinical age. Taking you along for the ride are Greene and his band of players\, matching every mood\, from ecstasy to terror\, with a haunting melody and beat.\n\n\n\nSession keyboardist and composer Alex Greene (Reigning Sound\, Big Ass Truck\, the Kropotkins\, Deepstaria Enigmatica) has four decades of experience in Memphis and New York\, and has performed and recorded albums and soundtracks with the Rolling Head Orchestra since 2009. Whether he’s in singer/songwriter mode or leading a jazz band\, his compositions combine strong melodic lines with unexpected\, shape-shifting harmonies. With themes worthy of the Golden Age of Hollywood\, mixed with more modernist sounds\, and echoing artists as diverse as Thelonious Monk\, Duke Ellington\, and Sun Ra\, the classic jazz sextet of the Rolling Head Orchestra is now augmented by the eerie wail of the theremin.\n\n\n\nIn 2010\, the Rolling Head Orchestra scored the WKNO documentary Citizens Not Subjects: Reawakening Democracy in Memphis\, leading to the album Depression Jubilee. An album of Greene’s songs\, American Elegy\, was released in 2018. The group has gone on to perform original scores for silent films since 2019 (when Greene was a Resident Composer at Crosstown Arts)\, including soundtracks for A Trip to the Moon\, Aelita\, Queen of Mars\, Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman\, and Flesh and the Devil with Greta Garbo\, at venues as diverse as Crosstown Theater\, Germantown Performing Arts Center\, and Playhouse on the Square.

SUMMARY:Lawrence Matthews Live at The Green Room
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Lawrence Matthews Live at The Green Room \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, October 25\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $10 in advance | $10 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBorn and raised in a suburb of Memphis; the story of Lawrence Matthews is the journey of an artist trying to move forward toward a healthy and free self\, all while reckoning with the extreme environmental stimulus of southern poverty and violence. Though often imagined as opposing forces\, the horror and beauty of the south often live in the same space. Matthews navigates this in-between space as an extension of the southern gothic voices with whom he is aligned. He emerges as somewhat of a Morrisonian beloved ghost\, a child who needed more. Now\, fully grown as a manifestation of love and bitterness intertwined. \nWith a BFA from The University of Memphis and a decade long career working with various arts nonprofits\, his work in nearly every area of the arts is an amalgamation of his whole life. As a young artist he’d create with the rap\, R&B and alternative rock references he’d come in contact with. Visually inspired by the regionalistic mythology of Paul Thomas Anderson and early Spike Lee; Matthews’ own visuals weave African spirituality with the Christian mythology that permeates the region\, highlighting the deep relationship between the often maligned spiritual connections Black people have explored for generations. Introduced to new sounds by way of underground mixtapes and 2000s video countdowns\, these sonics blended with the eccentricities of acts like Outkast and grittier more reality-driven music from the south creating a diverse palate that Matthews pulls from when crafting the imagery that populates his own art. \nShedding his previous Don Lifted alias\, Matthews re-introduces himself as just that – himself. Matthews decided it was time to harness his truest form as a creative. Exploring those complex feelings of longing\, grief\, emptiness\, and separation actually led Matthews to a deeper and more honest relationship with his community and himself. The unbelievable became inextricably linked to what is real. He ventured into the unexplored corners of himself\, places and stories forgotten or suppressed behind traumatic environments and a survivalist mentality. Now a reborn artist\, Matthews is intentional about aligning himself with others. That intention is a thread in his new musical journey\, as he aligns his stories with the stories of those who came before him and walks alongside their traditions.
