Mark your calendars, Memphis, Raised by Sound Fest is expanding to two unforgettable nights, and every ticket you buy goes straight toward keeping community radio alive in this city. This is WYXR’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and the lineup is stacked to match.
Soccer Mommy and Late Night Cardigan
Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM
📍Satellite Music Hall
Get ready to witness history! Headlining is Soccer Mommy, dubbed by Rolling Stone as “one of Indie Rock’s most beloved singer-songwriters.” Swiss-born and Nashville-based, Soccer Mommy has built a devoted following with plaintive, confessional storytelling wrapped in indie pop/rock sensibility. Joining her is Memphis’ own Late Night Cardigan, known for biting lyrics and soaring power-pop anthems, fresh off their new album One Million Dollars.
Wednesday and Patterson Hood
Doors 7 PM | Show 7:30–9 PM
📍Crosstown Theater
Two Southern storytelling powerhouses share the stage for the first time ever: Wednesday and Patterson Hood. This intimate set promises heavy doses of Memphis love and absolutely zero formality. A can’t-miss night for anyone who loves raw, unfiltered Southern songwriting.

Doors 8:30 PM | Show 9–11 PM
📍East Atrium
Dance the night away as Sylvan Esso brings their first-ever Memphis DJ set, fresh off their new album Ow ∞. Fans describe their sets as “nonstop, absolute riots,” so come ready to move. Includes complimentary food, wine, beer, cocktails, and art experiences.
