SUMMARY:Four on the Floor ft. Cyrena Wages\, Granville Automatic\, Erin Webb\, and Caleb Eliott
DESCRIPTION:Four on the Floor ft. Cyrena Wages\, Granville Automatic\, Erin Webb\, and Caleb Eliott\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, August 1st\, 2026\nDoors open at 7:00 pm | Show starts at 7:30 pm\n$25 in advance (plus fees) | $35 at the door\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\nMemphis’ take on the classic Bluebird Cafe format: a stripped-back evening of songs and storytelling featuring four artists in the round — both hometown favorites and visiting voices. Hosted by Cyrena Wages with special guest appearances. \n\nCyrena Wages fell in love with music on the country backroads between Millington and Shelby Forest\, two small towns just north of Memphis. Her father\, the hometown judge\, drove her to school every day in a 1967 gold Cadillac with the license plate “ROBN HD” on the back\, an homage to the underdog ideology\, and a conceptual through line of her debut 2024 album\, Vanity Project. Wages tapped producer Matt Ross-Spang (Margo Price\, St. Paul & the Broken Bones) to helm Vanity Project\, a heavy hearted country soul meets indie pop confessional\, at his Southern Grooves Studio in Memphis. Upon it’s release\, Cyrena toured in support of artists like Lilly Winwood\, Hailey Whitters\, Maggie Rose\, Lucero\, and Chaparelle\, and debuted in spaces like the Troubadour\, The Bluebird Cafe\, SXSW\, and Americana Fest. \n\n\nBorn and raised in Natchitoches\, Louisiana\, Caleb Elliott is far from your typical preacher’s son-turned-musician. With his father a pastor and his mother the church pianist\, Elliott was immersed in traditional hymns from an early age\, but it was his love for classical cello that would eventually jumpstart his musical career. As a session musician\, Elliott began lending cello to all kinds of albums in the Lafayette music scene\, culminating in a moment that would change his trajectory and finally move him out of Louisiana. In 2014\, singer-songwriter Dylan LeBlanc met Elliott and encouraged him to relocate to Muscle Shoals\, Alabama\, where he still resides today. Once settled in the Shoals\, Elliott became the go-to cellist for an elite collective of collaborators such as Nicole Atkins\, John Paul White\, members of Alabama Shakes\, Maggie Rose\, and Cedric Burnside\, whose 2021 record I Be Trying won a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album. \nAs a singer-songwriter\, Elliott released his debut record Forever to Fade in 2019\, followed by Weed\, Wine & Time in 2023 (both via Single Lock Records). He has opened for a variety of artists such as Alabama Shakes\, Gaz Coombes (Supergrass)\, Sean McConnell\, Penny and Sparrow\, The White Buffalo\, Fruition\, and The Secret Sisters (who are featured on his recent single). In 2025\, he followed up Weed\, Wine & Time with two new singles\, “I Don’t Believe You” and “Slow Burn\,” in which sonic influences like Harry Nilsson and Louisiana’s own Bobby Charles can be heard woven throughout Elliott’s melodies and arrangements. This year\, Elliott continues releasing singles with his new song\, “Dead Ringer\,” featuring Andy Baxter of Penny and Sparrow.

SUMMARY:Healing Breathwork Meditation
DESCRIPTION:THE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nSUNDAY\, JULY 26TH\, 2026\nDOORS OPEN AT 5:30 PM | SHOW STARTS AT 6:00 PM\n$15 IN ADVANCE (PLUS FEES) | $25 AT THE DOOR\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\n\n\nHealing breathwork meditation is a gentle approach to creating space around emotional blocks stored in the body using the breath. This practice is easy enough for beginners and a great add-on for those who have yoga\, meditation\, bodywork\, and healing practices. Elements of sound healing will also be included to relax the nervous system on a cellular level. The workshop begins with a brief check-in\, a movement practice\, then breathwork while lying on the back. Please bring a blanket\, a yoga mat\, and an eye covering (a hand towel works well). \n\n\n\nRobin Bruce teaches healing breathwork and meditation as an extension of her multidisciplinary arts practice. Her foray into the healing arts began as a yoga teacher and bloomed into the healing arts after studying healing breathwork with David Elliott in 2016. Since then\, she’s become a 200hr ERYT\, with over a thousand hours of yoga teaching experience and a mantra recording artist under the name Dharampal. She’s also earned an MA in religious studies with a focus on ritual and spiritual practices to fortify political movements. She completed her MFA in creative writing and translation at the University of Arkansas in 2025 and currently lives in Fayetteville where she works as a bookseller. She views healing work as personal and communal and breathwork as a vehicle to grieve together and collectively dream new futures.

SUMMARY:Kid Maestro ft. Bartholomew Jones: Ideas Are Seeds
DESCRIPTION:Kid Maestro ft. Bartholomew Jones: Ideas Are Seeds\nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nSATURDAY\, JULY 25TH\, 2026\nDOORS OPEN AT 7:00 PM | SHOW STARTS AT 7:30 PM\n$20 IN ADVANCE (PLUS FEES) | $30 AT THE DOOR\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\n\nThe role IDEAS have played in Kid Maestro’s life and career have been divinely profound. However\, as of late\, he’s had to question the existence of the pillars that have existed in his life without him being consciously aware of how they got in his life in the first place. The IDEA can spawn the greatest change to an environment\, and ecosystem\, a family\, or a single life dramatically; just like a seed. So maybe in borrowing the language from and studying the world of seeds\, we can unlock the mysteries of the nature and purpose of IDEAS. \n\nKid Maestro is a Memphis-based producer and performer who uses music as a vehicle for vulnerability\, growth\, and deep human connection. Drawing from experimental hip-hop\, soul\, and cinematic textures\, his performances are rooted in a relentless commitment to pushing past fear\, doubt\, and perfectionism to bring an idea fully to life.\n\nBartholomew Jones is a Memphis emcee and culture maker working at the leading edge of Southern Futurism — a vision of Black Southern identity rooted in the conviction that God don’t make no junk. He treats hip hop as an agricultural product — something grown\, harvested\, and rooted in soil — a thesis that binds his music to the all-Black coffee supply chain he’s built through Cxffeeblack. His sound moves through blues\, jazz\, boom bap\, and electronica\, and his breakout “Coffee Black” — “no sugar\, no cream\, please\, don’t cover my dreams” — turned a hook into a movement\, a documentary\, a TEDx\, and over a million streams. His latest project\, Cxffee Makes You Black\, is the fullest distillation yet. Along the way\, the NBA and HBO have tapped him for projects\, 8Ball signed on as collaborator and investor\, and he’s shared rooms with artists like Propaganda — with VICE\, NPR\, Black Enterprise\, and Memphis Magazine on the record. He currently serves as Artist in Residence on the faculty at Vanderbilt University\, and is now building his next full-length project in Memphis’ Idea District in collaboration with Unapologetic and Cxffeeblack. Memphis raised him. He’s raising it back.

SUMMARY:The Music of Louis Hayes feat. Henry Conerway III
DESCRIPTION:Strictly Jazz: The Music of Louis Hayes feat. Henry Conerway III \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts \nSunday\, June 21st\, 2026 \nDoors open at 5:30 PM | Show starts at 6:00 PM \n$25 in advance (plus fees) | $30 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJoin us for June’s installment of the Strictly Jazz series curated by Dennis Adams\, this time featuring Henry Conerway III as he pays homage to living legend Louis Hayes! \nWhen Dennis asked him to be a feature on one of his Strictly Jazz tributes\, Henry Conerway III informed him that celebrating living artists was important! Louis Hayes\, a native of Conerway’s hometown Detroit\, Michigan; and one of the first people he called when he moved to New York. His contributions to music are vast\, however many may not be aware that they have heard him. His early work was with Horace Silver\, he played on several of Cannonball Adderly’s most important works\, he was a co-leader with Woody Shaw and has been consistent as a full-fledged bandleader\, serving as a mentor to many in the generations to follow his own. Hayes is a living link to those who have passed and carries the torch even now\, for “this wonderful artform\,” as he calls his music. Mr. Hayes is thrilled to have learned of this performance\, and we look forward to giving him his flowers as we tell his story through song. \nHenry Conerway III has become a leading presence on the modern jazz scene since moving to New York City in 2015\, collaborating with renowned artists including Freddy Cole\, Marcus Printup of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Jazzmeia Horn\, and Grammy-nominated trumpeter Russell Gunn\, while also participating in residencies with Jazz at Lincoln Center in Doha. A proud native of Detroit\, Conerway began performing at the Detroit Jazz Festival while still in high school and studied under legendary trumpeter Marcus Belgrave as part of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Civic Jazz Orchestra. A graduate of Morehouse College with a degree in Music Composition\, he co-founded the Atlanta-based ensemble Jaspects\, which became a staple of the city’s music scene and collaborated with artists including PJ Morton\, Janelle Monáe\, Tony Hightower\, and Chantae Cann. His career has taken him to major festivals and venues such as the Atlanta Jazz Festival\, Toronto Jazz Festival\, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, as well as iconic New York jazz clubs including Birdland Jazz Club\, Smalls Jazz Club\, Smoke Jazz & Supper Club\, and Minton’s Playhouse. In addition to his work as a performer\, Conerway has composed music for film and appeared in theatrical productions including the Tony-nominated Broadway show Shuffle Along\, or\, the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed.

SUMMARY:Mississippi Blues Night with Willie Farmer and Ryan Lee Crosby
DESCRIPTION:CROSSTOWN ARTS PRESENTS MISSISSIPPI BLUES NIGHT WITH WILLIE FARMER AND RYAN LEE CROSBY\nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nSATURDAY\, JUNE 20\, 2026\nDOORS OPEN AT 7 PM | SHOW BEGINS AT 7:30 PM\nTICKETS: $20 IN ADVANCE (PLUS FEES) | $25 AT THE DOOR\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\n\n\n\n\n\nThough the Mississippi Delta’s Willie Farmer and Rhode Island’s RyanLee Crosby come from different backgrounds\, they are each dedicated to performing Mississippi blues music. Farmer — a Big Legal Mess and Music Maker Foundation artist from Duck Hill\, MS — focuses on Delta- and Memphis-style blues while Crosby performs the stomping North Mississippi and the haunting Bentonia\, MS blues. (Skip James is from Bentonia\, MS.) The Memphis Flyer terms Farmer‘s last recording a “great album.” Though Crosby is a yankee\, he has spent considerable time in Memphis and Mississippi and is mentored by GRAMMY Award nominee and juke joint proprietor Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. \n\n\nWillie Farmer is living proof that Mississippi continues to produce deep blues. The 65-year-old guitarist is neither a soul modernist nor a revivalist\, but a small-town auto mechanic who’s never shaken his love for old-school legends like Muddy Waters\, Howlin’ Wolf\, and Lightnin’ Hopkins. \nA lifelong resident of tiny Duck Hill\, located in the hills east of the Delta\, Farmer grew up on his family’s farm. He picked up the acoustic guitar in his early teens\, and after saving money from picking cotton\, he bought his first electric instrument. He began performing at school events and local gatherings\, learning blues and R&B by tuning into a powerful Nashville radio station. \nIn his early twenties\, he joined a loose-knit band that played juke joints around the area\, including Duck Hill\, Grenada\, Kilmichael\, and deep into the Delta in Greenwood and Charleston. But he eventually grew weary of the rowdy club scene\, where “people liked to fight like crazy.” \nIn 2003\, Farmer helped found the Grassroots Blues Festival\, held in a meadow outside Duck Hill. The annual event connected him with downhome blues artists from across Mississippi\, including Willie King and Leo Welch. \nFarmer’s first serious studio effort came with “The Man From the Hill” (2019\, Big Legal Mess)\, recorded over several sessions at Bruce Watson’s Memphis-based Delta-Sonic Sound. Working in a North Mississippi Hill Country vein\, the album features Jimbo Mathus and drummer George Sluppick\, with Farmer also exploring gospel harmonies alongside Memphis’ Barnes Brothers. \nFor the past thirty years\, he’s operated his own auto repair shop\, but he hopes the success of the album and touring opportunities will let him finally step away from the garage. The Memphis Flyer called the record a “great album\,” highlighting his playing as full of “rough-hewn strength and deep sensitivity\,” while Relix Magazine noted that it “showcases Farmer’s gritty blues approach as he honors longtime influences like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Howlin’ Wolf.” \nIn his upcoming album At the Blue Front\, Ryan Lee Crosby channels the ethereal sounds of Bentonia\, Mississippi\, through a live field recording captured at the legendary Blue Front Café\, the oldest active juke joint in the U.S. In the spirit of folklorists like Alan Lomax and David Evans\, the album was recorded on reel-to-reel tape at the historic venue owned by Grammy-nominated bluesman Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. \nSupported by Holmes\, Grant Smith on calabash\, and Jay Scheffler on harmonica\, Crosby delivers eight tracks that honor Bentonia and North Mississippi blues traditions while reflecting his own distinctive voice. The album\, rich with spontaneously composed performances\, centers on Crosby’s electric 12-string guitar\, played in both standard and “crossnote” tunings. \nCrosby’s journey into Bentonia blues began in 2012 after discovering the early recordings of Skip James. He started formal studies with Holmes in 2019\, but his influences also include Jack Owens\, Cornelius Bright\, and Robert Belfour\, Jessie Mae Hemphill\, and RL Boyce—the latter two of whom he has performed and recorded with. \nDubbed “a young torchbearer of the style” by Smithsonian Magazine\, Crosby blends deep tradition with personal mysticism. His sound is raw\, immediate\, and reverent to place and people. \nHe has earned features in Guitar Player\, Premier Guitar\, Aquarium Drunkard\, Vintage Guitar\, American Blues Scene\, and WBUR (Boston NPR)\, among others. His performance credits include Juke Joint Fest\, Meadowlark Fest\, and Levon Helm Studios\, and he has also worked with producer Bruce Watson of Fat Possum Records.

SUMMARY:Yotam Silberstein Trio
DESCRIPTION:Yotam Silberstein Trio\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts \nSunday\, June 14\, 2026 \nDoors open at 5:30 PM | Show starts at 6:00 PM \n$25 in advance (plus fees) | $35 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nYotam Silberstein’s blend of straight ahead jazz\, brazilian and other South American styles of music performed with that energetic New York flare promises to bring an emotionally impactful evening that will truly be a night to remember! \nYotam Silberstein\, one of the leading jazz guitarists of his generation\, has gained acclaim for a sound rich in bebop and blues as well as musical folklore from South America\, North Africa and the Middle East\, giving his music an increasingly global thrust. His mature compositional gift and gripping interpretive finesse are vividly represented on his 2022 release Universos and his 2020 outing with Argentine multi-instrumentalist and composer Carlos “Negro” Aguirre titled En el jardín. He is a member of the John Patitucci Trio (heard on the acclaimed album Irmãos de Fé)\, has toured extensively with legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter Ivan Lins\, and played with characteristic fire and taste on Monty Alexander’s GRAMMY-nominated Harlem-Kingston Express Live! as well as David Sanborn & Marcus Miller’s Time and the River. He has worked in bands with some of the greatest figures in jazz including George Coleman\, Charles McPherson\, Jimmy Heath\, James Moody and Roy Hargrove\, and has toured with his own groups all over the world in the most prestigious festivals and venues including the Tokyo\, Umbria and North Sea Jazz Festivals as well as Kennedy Center\, Jazz at Lincoln Center and more. \nBorn in Tel Aviv and based in New York\, Yotam was discovered at a young age by the great James Moody. He has evolved into a highly influential artist of his day\, hailed by JazzTimes for a musical output “struck through with passion and intimacy\,” and by The New York Times as a player who “improvises in a cutting tone and writes heady original tunes that seem to tug the straight-ahead jazz tradition in new directions.” Fueled by a deep love of the jazz lineage and a joyful immersion in choro\, samba\, frevo\, tango and other idioms\, he approaches his wide-ranging influences with a near-anthropological meticulousness\, conveying a sense not just of technical knowledge but also rich lived experience.

Drawing from country\, soul\, and folk influences\, she creates music that is both raw and deeply personal. In 2018\, she made history as the first African American and first Mississippian to win The Country Showdown\, earning the title Best New Act in Country Music. After taking time away to focus on family\, Elsie returned stronger than ever\, recently joining Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2025 and being featured in BET’s The Future of Black Culture series. \nA master of musical fusion\, Rachel Maxann (she/her) seamlessly blends the soulful rhythms of blues\, the heartfelt melodies of folk\, and a dash of vintage Indie rock to create a sound that is uniquely her own. Her musical artistry has taken her to stages across the globe\, from large crowds to intimate venues. Beyond the music\, it’s the impact of it all that Maxann strives for. Its present in everything she does\, from her work as a therapist and activist to the music she makes and the people she inspires along the way. \nAybil (she/her) is a singer-songwriter from Memphis\, TN. When her family moved to Tulsa\, OK\, early in her life\, she began writing about friendship and solitude to cope with the change. As a ’90s baby who grew up in the church\, she was listening to Gospel powerhouses alongside musicals from the ’40s\, ’50s\, and ’60s\, forming a unique perception of what music should be. She hopes her songs create a place of reflection\, healing\, and empowerment.

The performance looks back on the miles covered while touring on the tailwinds of 2022’s With Love\, Alexis Jade. The intervening years have brought many hallmarks of life lived out of a suitcase: borrowed couches\, shared meals\, porch sitting sessions\, and often\, as the title song suggests\, “miles and miles of heartache.” A homecoming in multiple regards\, the show will open with a performance from Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sierra Bryan\, who was on tour with Jade at the time many of these previously-unreleased songs came knocking. \nIn a recreation of the Gemstones’ own respective living spaces\, the stage will be adorned with furniture\, pictures\, family heirlooms\, and other mementos that mean home to them. This evening is a celebration of the way artists build home together\, paying homage to the importance of community and collaborative place-making that guides Jade’s creative output as an artist in perpetual motion. \nAlexis will be joined by her musical collaborators who continue to make “home” a moveable feast: Sam Long on bass\, Matt Gaines on pedal steel/keys\, Jon Gaines and drums\, Josh Green on guitar\, and Carter Wenger on guitar.

SUMMARY:An Intimate Night with Keia
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nTue\, May 19\, 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nFrom $30.39The price you’ll pay. No surprises later.\nBUY NOW \n\n\n\nAbout\n\n\nA night of live music with Strings! Experience Keia in a way you never have before\, an intimate setting with some of your favorite songs. This is a night you don’t want to miss! Keia was born in San Antonio\, TX but grew up all over the world in a Military family. But it was the move to Memphis that helped her establish her sound and performance style. She has performed with some of the best talent Memphis has to offer\, while also building relationships with notable national names like The Bar-Kays and David Porter of Stax Records. \nIn College\, Keia made history by being crowned only the third Black Miss ASU (Arkansas State University). The same university that Miss America 1990 Debbye Turner attended\, and was crowned the first Black Miss ASU. Keia went on to the Miss Arkansas Pageant\, where she was crowned Miss Congeniality\, a name that stuck with her for years to come. She graduated with a degree in Communications emphasis Radio/Television Broadcasting and a minor in Political Science. But the arts kept calling her name. \nYears later\, it was American Idol that served as the true catalyst for Keia to recognize who she was as an Artist and what she wanted to do with her career. The talent competition led her to Hollywood where “Miss Congeniality” wowed the judges for two seasons. Her audition performance of Celine Dion’s vocally rigorous “My Heart Will Go On” prompted guest judge and musical role model \nMary J. Blige to simply declare: “She can sing!” Keia later went on to compete on Season 4 of “The Voice” as well\, but wasn’t chosen for a team. Her journey hasn’t been without its disappointments and de-railings. But she can’t stop singing.
