SUMMARY:CROSSTOWN ARTS PRESENTS: Mississippi Blues Night with Willie Farmer and Ryan Lee Crosby
DESCRIPTION:Purchase TICKETS HERE\n\n\nThough the Mississippi Delta’s Willie Farmer and Rhode Island’s Ryan Lee 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:Crosstown Arts Presents: Él
DESCRIPTION:June 26th–   Él is a Mexican film by Luis Buñuel based upon the novel by Mercedes Pinto originally released in the US as “This Strange Passion.” \n“What starts as a foot fetish aroused at a Holy Thursday service morphs into romantic obsession and pathological jealousy… Francisco Galván (Arturo de Córdova)\, a rich middle-aged bachelor\, becomes fixated on a proper young socialite (Delia Garcés). Under his relentless attention\, she marries Francisco\, who soon reveals himself to be a manipulative monster…. [isolating] her from her friends and family\, [and getting] her to doubt her own behavior\, her motives\, and even her sanity.” – Richard Brody\, The New Yorker \nLong unavailable due to obscure reasons of film rights\, this is perhaps the most underseen of Luis Buñuel’s great films made during his sojourn in Mexico. Here\, Buñuel is unsparing in his incisive and downright dark portrayal of a man\, outwardly normal\, who\, behind closed doors\, terrorizes his inamorata. But because of the place of women in society\, she has no place to turn for help. Bleak\, powerful\, and relevant. Directed by Luis Buñuel. Rated N/R 82 minutes.

SUMMARY:Alexis Grace Album Debut at Memphis Listening Lab
DESCRIPTION:NEW MUSIC LISTENING EVENT: Memphis-born artist Alexis Grace first caught national attention on Season 8 of American Idol\, where Simon Cowell dubbed her the “dark horse of the competition.” But long before television cameras rolled\, she was already a fixture in Memphis music — raised on the soulful legacy of the city and shaped by the sounds of Aretha Franklin\, Ann Peebles\, and Al Green. The daughter of a Beale Street R&B musician\, Alexis grew up singing in church choirs and studied jazz and opera at Memphis’ storied Overton High and the University of Memphis’ Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music. \nHer 2014 debut EP Kiddo earned critical acclaim: “Kiddo is a mini-blast of shiny\, confident modern pop… Grace proves to have the vocal power and personality to battle a dense\, driving backing track to an effective draw… a record that could easily be in the Top 40 without seeming out of place.” \nHer upcoming single\, “West Coast” — out June 27th and produced by Memphis staple John Paul Keith — signals a sun-soaked shift. A dreamy\, feminine ode to California\, the track is lush with shimmering textures and intricate vocal layering that nods to the Beach Boys’ golden-era harmonies. Grace’s signature ability to stack harmonies into cinematic swells is on full display\, giving the song a nostalgic yet modern warmth. The one-take music video\, also dropping June 27th\, brings the story to life in a single\, sweeping shot — a love letter to Los Angeles and a new chapter in her evolving sound.

Luther reflects on their journey\, stating\, “The first record was sort of a little miracle…. But here we are with our third LP out.” Jody’s influence on pop includes his work with Big Star and Golden Smog\, while Luther has a storied career as a solo artist and producer\, recently recognized in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Their harmonious partnership continues to thrive\, with plans for a UK tour this September\, celebrating a decade of music. Jody emphasizes the rewarding nature of their shared creative experience\, involving all who support them.

DESCRIPTION:CROSSTOWN ARTS AND FOLK ALL Y’ALL PRESENTS NATHAN GRAHAM\nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nFRIDAY\, JULY 18\, 2025\nDOORS OPEN AT 7 PM | SHOW BEGINS AT 7:30 PM\nTICKETS: $20\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen you think of a singer-songwriter\, who comes to mind? \nNathan Graham (he/him) says it probably isn’t somebody who looks like he does\, and he wants to change that. \nBorn and raised in Chicago\, Graham meshes South Side Blues with Nashville Americana\, beginning his career backing blues singers at famous haunts like Buddy Guy’s Legends and Kingston Mines. He spent a decade as a guitar-for-hire before picking up a mic to tell his own stories on the stage. \nSoulful and steady\, Graham’s music offers a raw introspective of the human condition that’s both painful and comforting. His guitar conveys heartbreak\, lyrics tell stories of regret\, but his rich vocal delivery offers the remedy. \nHaving brought his songs on international tours with both major label and indie acts\, Graham is challenging the notion of what it means to be a singer-songwriter. He’s driving inclusivity within the genre\, and he hopes to evoke a sense of understanding in the process. \n“I’m writing about universal experiences\,” he says. “I’m writing music to connect my story to yours\, show you all that we have in common\, and maybe help both of us feel less alone.”
