SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Presents: Fall Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Fall Exhibitions at Crosstown Arts\nOn view October 9\, 2026–January 17\, 2027 \nExplore two exhibitions at Crosstown Arts that bring memory\, identity\, and personal history into focus through distinct approaches to painting and visual storytelling. \nIn Fugitive Signals\, Memphis-born artist Corinne Jones pairs paintings created during her Crosstown Arts Residency with projected photographs of Memphis stairways that remain after the buildings they once served have disappeared. Her colorful abstractions feature repeated chevron motifs that are layered\, obscured\, etched\, and erased. Together\, the paintings and photographs explore absence\, challenge inherited systems of authority\, and invite viewers to consider the histories hidden in plain sight. \nIn Ongoing: A Personal Retrospective\, Memphis artist Carl Moore brings together bodies of work spanning the past 15 years. Through color\, shape\, and form\, Moore explores the everyday social and cultural dimensions of the Black experience\, the lasting effects of history\, and moments of clarity and peace. The exhibition traces the evolution of his practice\, creating a continuing conversation among the artist\, the artwork\, and the viewer. \nVisit the galleries throughout the fall and winter to experience both exhibitions.

SUMMARY:Folk All Y’all: Spencer LaJoye
DESCRIPTION:Folk All Y’all: Spencer LaJoye\nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nSATURDAY\, NOVEMBER 14TH\, 2026\nDOORS OPEN AT 7:00 PM | SHOW STARTS AT 7:30 PM\nTICKETS: $20\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\nSpencer LaJoye (they/them) makes queer indie folk music for everyone. With a crystalline voice\, melodic command\, and virtuosic mastery of the loop pedal\, LaJoye is a one-human tour-de-force\, dancing effortlessly between theatrical grace and unhinged sincerity. \nLaJoye is a relentless wordsmith\, harvesting endless insight out of lived experience. Since the providential and cathartic breakout of their anthemic hymn “Plowshare Prayer\,” Spencer has been in non-stop motion. Spencer won the Kerrville New Folk singer/songwriter contest in 2021\, and the Songwriter Serenade contest in 2024. They’ve shared stages and tours with The Crane Wives\, David Wilcox\, Dar Williams\, Mary Gauthier\, and countless greats in the singer/songwriter community. \nTheir concerts are typically a fully solo endeavor brimming with more energy than many eight-piece bands. They are a curious blend of pastoral sobriety and nimble playfulness. A Spencer LaJoye concert isn’t exactly a worship hour\, a one-act drama\, a melodic composition masterclass\, or an unplugged emo show. But it’s never not those things.​ If you didn’t get the pleasure of meeting Spencer at our first Make the Yuletide Gay production\, or if you were there and you’ve been dying to hear more from them ever since\, this is your big chance! \n

SUMMARY:Strictly Jazz: The Music of Betty Carter and Elvin Jones ft. Jeremy and Dermel Warren
DESCRIPTION:Strictly Jazz: The Music of Betty Carter and Elvin Jones ft. Jeremy and Dermel Warren\nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nSUNDAY\, NOVEMBER 15TH\, 2026\nDOORS OPEN AT 5:30 PM | SHOW BEGINS AT 6:00 PM\n$20 IN ADVANCE (PLUS FEES) | $30 AT THE DOOR\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJoin us for November’s installment of Strictly Jazz Entertainment’s “Strictly Jazz” Series as NYC-based duo Jeremy and Dermel Warren tackle the music of Betty Carter and Elvin Jones! \nABOUT JD WARREN AND THE RUDIMENT\nJD Warren is a NYC based jazz group lead by husband and wife duo Jeremy & Dermel Warren. This group was formed in 2015 and has released an album June 1\, 2016 titled “Jeremy Warren-I Can Do All Things” that has received “Most Highly Recommended” from critics such as Jazz Times\, Improvijazzation Nation\, All About Jazz\, AXS\, and many others. The Rudiment has performed in some of the top venues in the NYC area such as the Blue Note NYC\, Minton’s Harlem\, Club Bonafide\, Cornelia St Café\, and many more. The Rudiment performed at the 2016 Jazz at The Buckman Center in Memphis\, TN; 2017 Katy Jazz Festival in Katy\, TX (where they also put on masterclasses for high school/college students and held workshops for high school jazz bands); Jazz in the Park in Patterson\, NJ for 3 years running; plus many more. They performed at the Made in New York Gala along side jazz greats Randy Brecker\, Fransico Mela\, and John Patituci. Drummer\, Jeremy Warren\, composes and arranges for the group while vocalist\, Dermel Warren\, handles the lyrical composition. J&D bring their deep Soul & Gospel roots mixed with NYC’s Hip-Hop & Jazz influences to create their own unique style.\nABOUT BETTY CARTER\nBetty Carter developed a legendary reputation\, along with Art Blakey\, as one of the great mentors for young jazz musicians. Equally legendary was her singing prowess\, creating a distinctive style of improvisation that could transcend any song.\nCarter’s bands served a dual purpose: to create her own great music and to help young musicians develop their craft. Many of the musicians who passed through her groups went on to lead their own groups\, such as Geri Allen\, Stephen Scott\, Don Braden\, and Christian McBride. She also developed a mentoring program called Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead through links with organizations like the International Association for Jazz Education\, 651 Arts\, and the Kennedy Center. The program was a one- to two-week teaching seminar where nationally selected promising young jazz musicians learned from Carter and other seasoned musicians\, culminating in a final concert of instructors and students together. Jazz Ahead was one of Carter’s proudest achievements\, and she worked with the program up until her death. She received the National Medal of Arts in 1997.\nABOUT ELVIN JONES\n\nElvin Jones was an American jazz drummer of the post-bop era. Most famously a member of John Coltrane’s quartet\, with whom he recorded from late 1960 to late 1965\, Jones appeared on such albums as My Favorite Things\, A Love Supreme\, Ascension and Live at Birdland. After 1966\, Jones led his own trio\, and later larger groups under the name The Elvin Jones Jazz Machine. His brothers Hank and Thad were also celebrated jazz musicians with whom he occasionally recorded. Elvin was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1995. In his The History of Jazz\, jazz historian and critic Ted Gioia calls Jones “one of the most influential drummers in the history of jazz”.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series Presents: Black Christmas
DESCRIPTION:As Christmas break begins\, the women of a university sorority house receive a series of increasingly disturbing telephone calls. When one of their friends disappears\, the remaining students begin to suspect that the danger may be much closer than anyone realizes. Directed by Bob Clark\, Black Christmas helped establish many of the conventions that would later define the slasher film. Its shadowy cinematography\, unsettling sound design\, and relentless sense of isolation make it one of the most influential and unnerving holiday horror films ever made.

Elliott Ives\, Marcella Simien\, Bailey Bigger\, Walt Phelan\, Jeremy Stanfill\, Grant Beatty\, Ben Canady\, Sarah Spain\, and more join the band\, each bringing something entirely their own to Salo Pallini’s music. \nThis performance brings that idea to the stage\, gathering all of the voices from Some Air for one night. It’s a rare chance to hear this group of Memphis artists in the same room\, backed by a band whose music was built specifically around what each singer does best. \nSome Air represents a deliberate departure. Where the debut had no words\, the new record puts them front and center. Rather than choosing a single front person\, Salo Pallini built each song around the character of its guest vocalist\, allowing the record—and this performance—to move through different voices\, personalities and corners of Memphis music while still sounding unmistakably like Salo Pallini.

This show is all ages and not to be missed.\ \n\nJEFF HULETT\nFrom the outside\, Jeff Hulett might seem like a late-blooming guitarist and songwriter. But if you ask any of his fellow musicians they’ll tell you he was writing songs and playing music long before he put pen to paper or strummed a chord.\nHis unique style landed him in the band Snowglobe. Over his many years with this Memphis-based institution\, Hulett regularly contributed melodies\, lyrics and arrangements to many of the tunes in their prolific cannon. You can even hear a few of his originals in their discography.\nDuring his long tenure with Snowglobe\, Hulett continued to hone his own voice and develop his own creative projects. He began playing guitar more\, and writing his own lyrics. This dedication and passion led to his collaboration with Leah Keys in the band Me & Leah. They released an eponymous and beautiful CD in 2016 featuring nine original folk tunes. Then in 2019\, Me & Leah added Jonathan Schallert to the mix to record and partially release a digital copy of their 7 inch Most of Your Life. Both albums were engineered by accomplished mainstays Toby Vest and Pete Mathews of High/Low and Andrew McCalla\, respectively.\nBut it was when the pandemic struck that Hulett really hit his stride as a songwriter. All alone and with nowhere to go\, using an old version of Garageband\, he started creating original tracks and collaborating with more and more musicians\, writers\, and other creators. He was one of the first artists in Memphis–or even the world–to give a voice to our collective feelings when he released his album Safe @ Home w/ Jacob Church early in the pandemic. That record–a seven-song exploration of the new normal we were all just beginning to live–resonated around the globe. It even landed a spot on The English Show\, a weekly podcast out of Basel\, Switzerland.\nThen\, after going on to release two solo albums on Small Batch Records\, Hulett reconnected with old friends Melissa Goodwin Shepherd and Adam Poor. They formed the band Restless Townies. Their first album\, Miles Away\, was released in April 2021\, and the trio has continued to release several EPs. In this outfit\, all players write and contribute to each other’s songs.\n\nFor more information\, visit smallbatchrecords.bandcamps.com.

SUMMARY:The Mystic
DESCRIPTION:So\, what is The Mystic? The Mystic is a catalyst; through music\, story\, silence and dialogue\, we hope to strengthen our attachment to hopes and dreams. In the mystic\, diversity is a prerequisite for all creativity\, which is why Crosstown Concourse is the perfect home. In The Mystic\, the world is far-better served by different beliefs than it could ever be if limited by rigid uniformity. \nAnd if this doesn’t rock your gypsy soul\, the goal of The Mystic is to not feel better but get better at feeling.

SUMMARY:Bailey Bigger: Winter Nights and Stories
DESCRIPTION:Bailey Bigger Acoustic: Songbirds of Winter\nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nSATURDAY\, JANUARY 23RD\, 2027\nDOORS OPEN AT 7:00 PM | SHOW BEGINS AT 7:30 PM\n$20 IN ADVANCE (PLUS FEES) | $30 AT THE DOOR\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\n\nJoin us for a cozy acoustic show on a cold winter night. Bailey Bigger returns to Crosstown Arts to play songs off of her previous records\, Coyote Red and Resurrection Fern\, as well as new unreleased music\, in an acoustic\, intimate setting. Joined by Mark Edgar Stuart\, Wyly Bigger\, Sarah Spain\, and other special guests\, it will be an evening of story telling\, legend and folklore\, winter imagery\, and harmonies. Come in from the cold and listen. \n\nWith her haunting\, pure voice\, and her honest\, nature-centered songwriting\, Bailey Bigger brings a sense of wonder and purity to the folk music scene. Hailing from the small southern delta town of Marion\, Arkansas\, Bigger grew up creating her own magical tales out in nature\, writing short stories of dream-like worlds from the branches of her favorite magnolia tree. When she began writing music at the age of six\, these stories translated to song\, beginning the evolution of her journey as a songwriter. \nThe 26 year old singer/songwriter/instrumentalist has collected back to back nominations at the Arkansas Country Music Awards\, been named Songwriter of the Year in Memphis\, won Audience-Favorite music video at Indie Film Fest\, and has had six songs featured on TrueSouth on SEC Television.

Bailey’s voice has graced the stages of Red Rocks Amphitheater\, The Bluebird Cafe\, Georgia Theater\, and many festivals including FloydFest\, Americanafest\, and Memphis in May. \nMuch inspired by her own heritage\, folklore of the land surrounding her\, and her connection to the natural world\, Bailey’s writing takes the listener on a journey through the seasons\, and the cycles of death that we\, and the earth\, face every year\, leaning into the mystery of the unknown\, human emotions\, and the wild nature within us all.
