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.

Grammy-winning music writer/director Robert Gordon is a big fan\, often spinning Mark’s tracks on his weekly radio show\, and other critics agree: “His acerbic wit is reminiscent of John Prine and Randy Newman” (No Depression); “His wry\, cutting view of the world makes something old new again” (Paste); “Always maintaining a tender demeanor\, his songwriting is smart as it is sincere” (Pop Matters). Mark’s stories are sweet but never saccharine\, even-keeled but deeply affecting. He’s lovable and literary\, smart yet plain-spoken\, heartening\, funny\, and always memorable. He sounds new and familiar\, fresh yet timeless. His songs sound like your favorite stories\, retold by a friend.\n\nBlueshift Ensemble\n\nBlueshift Ensemble is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and collaborating with local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers.

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.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Folk All Y’all: Kyshona
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Folk All Y’all present Kyshona in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, October 12\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nThis event is postponed until further notice. \nKyshona lends her voice and music to those who feel silenced\, forgotten or alone. She began her career as a music therapist\, writing her first songs with patients — students and inmates under her care. She became compelled to write independently and find her own voice\, an endeavor which led her to the Nashville creative community and songwriting culture. Since then\, she balances her music career with her passion to heal in community through her organization Your Song. \nKyshona’s new project LEGACY focuses on family. Through stories\, photos\, film\, ancestry and genealogy research\, and travels in the power of place\, Kyshona shares her story while inviting listeners and concert goers to join her in exploration of self\, healing and growth. The tour will kick off in early 2024 with various types of experiences including concerts\, speaking event\, workshops\, and virtual meetings. The album will release in April 2024\, with singles coming soon. Sign up for eNews to stay informed of what’s to come! \nOver the last few years\, in addition to three new original singles and multiple music videos\, she released a collection of recordings and videos in collaboration with Centennial Park Conservancy – recorded at Nashville’s Parthenon\, in front of a monumental sized gold statue of Athena. A song she wrote with ZG Smith called “Nighttime Animal” was named to American Songwriter’s Top 25 Songs of 2022 and enjoyed spins on AAA radio. She wrote an article for No Depression magazine\, and was invited to speak at several events including giving a keynote address for 2023 Fulbright Scholars. She is featured in a 2023 PBS television show called “Ear to the Common Ground\,” gathering fans around a dining table to discuss voting rights in America\, and she will be featured in an upcoming video series featuring Americana artists performing in the prestigious Schermerhorn Symphony Center Theater in Nashville. \nHer song Listen was an anthem for many in 2020. Of her album of the same name\, one fan reviewer wrote: “Amidst these hard\, divisive times this set of songs is a salve for the grief many of us are feeling about resulting loss of family\, friends\, and community.” Within the grooves of its 10 tracks\, Kyshona blends roots\, rock\, R&B\, and folk with lyrical prowess to uplift the marginalized and bring awareness to the masses. It’s for every silent scream\, every heavy load\, fearful thought\, and a simmering sense of anger that the repressed\, the lost\, and the forgotten try to hide from the world. \nAudiences will find a common thread of empowerment\, overcoming adversity\, and finding hope in her work. The show doesn’t end when the last song is sung. After her powerful performances\, concertgoers often ask\, “What can I do?” \nHer response? “Listen.”
