MicroCinema: IF/Then Southern Shorts

Crosstown Theater

For this month’s MicroCinema, Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts are ecstatic to have partnered with IF/Then Shorts to present an array of incredible, often touching documentary shorts from filmmakers throughout the South. We’re glad to be able to include in this program a preview screening of Zaire Love’s SLICE, which was a part of the 2021 IF/Then + Hulu Short Documentary Lab and the recipient of the 2020 Black Creators Forum Short Film Grant!

Little Richard: I Am Everything

Crosstown Theater

Like a quasar burning past the gaslight, director Lisa Cortés’ eye-opening documentary explodes the whitewashed canon of American pop music. Little Richard: I Am Everything shines a clarifying light on the Black, queer origins of rock ’n’ roll, and establishes the genre’s big bang: Richard Wayne Penniman.

Adam Larson Trio

The Green Room

Larson will be joined by Matt Clohesy on electric bass and Jimmy Macbride on drums. Together, they will be celebrating the release of With Love, From New York. The music for the evening will be familiar to fans of Larson — high octane and energetic — and will offer something for jazz and jazz-adjacent fans alike. Join the trio for the last hoorah of a nearly two-year project; you won't want to miss it!

Opening Reception for Spring 2023 Exhibitions

Crosstown Arts

Crosstown Arts announces its spring 2023 arts programming — “Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas” by McLean Fahnestock, “Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line” by Khara Woods, “Entrances, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt” by Tangela Mathis, and “Color Thread” by Carl Fox.

NOHMADS

The Green Room

Art rockers from Chicago, NOHMADS weave layers of noir, sludge, and pop to create their unique sound, combining songs, spoken word, and visual elements to tell stories. The band's debut LP, Chartreuse, contains seven original tracks. Soaring guitars, dynamic percussion, and haunting vocal harmonies escort the listener on a ride through everyday silenced small town dramas, into murky backwoods of past lives, and along hopeful deserted dream landscapes.

Puppy Palooza 2023

Crosstown Concourse 1350 Concourse Ave, Memphis, TN, United States

Puppy Palooza brings as many puppy-themed activities as paws-sible to the South Plaza at Crosstown Concourse. Before the dog days of summer begin, it’s a chance to celebrate our furry friends. We’re fur real — it’s going to be paw-some!

Dogs (and their human companions) are invited to Puppy Palooza at the South Plaza. The event is free and open to the public. Come celebrate our canine companions with the community at Crosstown Concourse!

Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum & Jazzmeia Horn (SOLD OUT)

The University of Memphis Jazz Singers

The Green Room

The University of Memphis Jazz Singers is comprised of 10 to 15 male and female vocal students. This group performs a wide range of music from traditional arrangements of jazz standards to more contemporary fusion jazz.

Opening Night

Crosstown Theater

John Cassavetes’ hymn to that berserk business of performing, Opening Night is enhanced by its intense “old Hollywood” pedigree as Ben Gazzara, John Blondell, Paul Stewart and Cassavetes himself are the backing band for Rowlands’ knife-edged soloing.

Doug MacLeod

The Green Room

Doug MacLeod is known for his superb songwriting, guitar wizardry, warm soulful vocals, wit, and unforgettable live performances. At the heart of a Doug MacLeod performance is his knack for storytelling, bringing characters-from the faceless to the legendary-to strikingly real life.

Gareth Pearson (SOLD OUT)

The Green Room

Gareth Pearson is referred to as “The Welsh Tornado” which is particularly appropriate, seeing as this special talent combines fingerstyle pyrotechnics, with explosive lead runs making Pearson one of the most exciting acoustic musicians gigging today.

Mahogany Chamber Music Series: “Mahogany Magic”

Crosstown Theater

The Mahogany Chamber Music Series is a series of three chamber music concerts curated by Dr. Artina McCain, spotlighting Black and other underrepresented composers and performers.
