SUMMARY:The Black Opry Revue
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, February 10\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nBlack Opry is a home for Black artists and Black fans of country\, blues\, folk\, and Americana music. Country music has been made by and loved by Black people since its conception. For just as long\, we have been overlooked and disregarded in the genre by fans and executives. Black Opry wants to change that. We invite you to discover\, support and enjoy the Black artists that make magic in this space. One of the most valuable aspects of country music is its versatility and diversity in sound. Country\, blues\, folk\, and Americana music often overlap or weave together — these artists explore all of those sounds and intersections. The Black Opry Revue showcases the diversity in sound and stories that Black artists offer to these genres. \nTae Lewis \nThe emerging country singer/songwriter Tae Lewis doesn’t sell short when it comes to his creation of country music. The North Carolina native started his roots by singing in his grandfather’s church at the age of 5. In 2016 he began to emerge in his own element of what he wanted to create for his audience as a country artist with one of his first singles “Good Luvin”. \n“Good Luvin” brought success in being placed in the hit sitcom Shameless\, which brought his artistry to a whole new level of people acknowledging who he really is. Now\, a Nashville native\, he’s been able to write with some amazing songwriters as well as being able to be an opener for some incredible artists this summer. \nTwitter: @Taelewis_ Instagram: @TaeLewisMusic_ \nTylar Bryant \nTylar Bryant is a soulful country recording artist whose path took him on a journey to take the stage in the country music arena. Championing the challenge\, where no one saw him coming\, Tylar is a new contender who’s in it to win it. \nThe former MMA fighter changed his career path to pursue a passion that caught him completely by surprise. He laid down his gloves to pick up a songwriter’s pen and a guitar. In a courageous leap of faith to chase his dream\, Tylar moved to Nashville in 2019. \nKnown for his charismatic stage presence\, electric live performances\, and infamous beer showers among his audiences\, onlookers would never expect Tylar Bryant to be anything but a country music entertainer. \nTylar grew up listening to an array of music from rap (Zro\, Tupac\, Biggie\, Hawk\, Pimp C) and the tunes that echoed in the background at his grand mom’s home (Al Green\, Luther Vandross\, The Temptations\, Diana Ross). \nThe Texas native prides himself in his authenticity and ability to infuse a mix of styles and sounds. Influenced by some of country music’s greatest voices and performers (such as Jim Reeves\, Randy Travis and Chris Young)\, Bryant marries modern and traditional country sounds with rock and R&B grooves for an added twist. \nPlaying more than 80 shows a year\, Tylar’s canvassed the Lone Star State. In 2017\, Tylar recorded his debut EP\, titled Don’t Let Go\, in Nashville co-producing the project that features all original tunes. \nTwitter: @TylarBryant Instagram: @TylarBryantMusic \nLayna \nLAYNA is a singer\, songwriter\, producer from Northeast Ohio. Inspired by Tracy Chapman\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Aretha Franklin\, Stevie Nicks\, Dolly Parton\, and more; and she believes ‘Communication\,’ as well as the legendary voices mentioned before\, are what helped her find her sound. \nInstagram: @LaynaOfficial

This book traces the representation of the Black elite in African-American literature from the lives of free Blacks during slavery to rising Black middle and upper classes in the twenty-first century. \n  \nDr. Shelby Crosby’s research spans mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century African American literature\, representations of womanhood (particularly Black womanhood)\, and critical race theory. It threads together critical race\, Black feminism\, and literary historical frameworks to interrogate an American national story. Dr. Crosby is currently working on a book manuscript that examines the pervasive derogatory ideologies of Black womanhood. Using Black feminist theory to ground the text\, she will examine such authors as Frederick Douglass\, Williams Wells Brown\, and Martin Delany\, arguing that\, through their adoption of traditional demarcations of white womanhood\, Black women are further pushed to the margins of American society. \n

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ALMA’S RAINBOW
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ALMA’S RAINBOW at Crosstown Theater. \nAyoka Chenzira / 1994 / 85 minutes / Not Rated \nThursday\, February 2\, 2023\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nAlmas’s Rainbow is a coming-of-age comedy/drama about three Black women living in Brooklyn. Ayoka Chenzira’s feature film explores the life of teenager Rainbow Gold (Victoria Gabrielle Platt) who is entering womanhood and navigating conversations and experiences around standards of beauty\, self-image\, and the rights of Black women have over their bodies. Rainbow attends a strict parochial school\, studies dance\, and is just becoming aware of boys. She lives with her strait-laced mother Alma Gold ( Kim Weston-Moran)\, who runs a hair salon in the parlor of their home.  When Alma’s free-spirited sister Ruby (Mizan Kirby) arrives from Paris after a 10-year absence\, the sisters clash over what constitutes the “proper” direction Rainbow’s life should take. Alma has fooled herself into believing she has no need of male companionship and advises her to daughter to follow her example. Ruby encourages both her niece and her sister to embrace life — and love — fully and joyfully. Almas’s Rainbow highlights a multi-layered Black women’s world where characters live\, love\, and wrestle with what it means to exercise and exert their agency. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

Mostly self-taught\, Damion began playing harmonica at age 13\, saving up his lunch money for a month to purchase the instrument. Adding to his arsenal\, Damion later learned to play the guitar\, saxophone\, trombone\, and piano. He got his start on Beale Street playing with “Big” Jerry Parnell.

Their passion shines through in every note\, drawing in fans from across the universe. Though little is known about the early days of the band\, what is clear is that it was formed long before the rise of the third and fourth dimensions. What we do know is that their music touches people in a way that nothing else can\, with full consent of course. \nSpeaking to a bouncer at a small club at a rare show in Memphis\, Tennessee\, famous old lady Betty Bamboozle\, asking of DCHS’s music\, “What is that?” The bouncer’s response was immediate and clear\, unmasked fear in his voice\, “I don’t know lady. It’s dark\, it’s light\, it’s beautiful\, and it’s horrifying all at the same time.” \nEven less is known of the fans of Dream Crusher Hope Smasher. They are a secret society. An elite club in which membership is granted only to those who truly appreciate the music or pay a small fee or take the band to dinner. However\, the members of the band keep a low profile to avoid being discovered by people from “lesser” dimensions who just wouldn’t understand their genius. \nFrom the depths of the underworld to the farthest reaches of space\, Dream Crusher Hope Smasher has always been one step ahead of the zeitgeist. Their legendary live shows and groundbreaking albums have them cemented as an iconic band in every sense imaginable—just not in your reality.

SUMMARY:Jimmy Bruno with the Ted Ludwig Trio
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents the Modern Masters Jazz Series: Jimmy Bruno with the Ted Ludwig Trio at Crosstown Arts. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nTuesday\, January 17\, 2023\nDoors open at 7pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door | $10 student tickets at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJimmy Bruno\, born July 22\, 1953\, in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, is a master jazz guitarist and jazz educator. One of the most critically acclaimed jazz guitarists performing today\, Jimmy Bruno came to prominence as a jazz musician in the 1990s\, after a successful twenty-year career as a sought-after commercial guitarist and session musician. \n“Get on the bus; we leave tonight.” \nThose were the words that began Jimmy Bruno’s professional career as a guitarist. Most of the other guitarists auditioning for Buddy Rich’s band that day in 1973 were getting drumsticks thrown at them\, Buddy’s not-so-subtle way of showing disapproval. But not 19-year-old Jimmy; he got the gig. A Philadelphia native\, he was born into a family no strangers to the music world. Jimmy’s father played guitar on the 1959 hit “Guitar Boogie Shuffle” with Frank Virtue. Jimmy’s mom was a gifted singer. Living in such a musical household\, playing guitar eight to ten hours a day was normal for this south Philly kid. He studied jazz improvisation with local Philly bass legend Al Stauffer and to develop technique\, taught himself to play the rigorous and exacting classical violin etudes of Wohlfahrt and Paganini. Although he briefly considered leveraging his perfect SAT scores into medical school\, a summer guitar gig in Wildwood\, New Jersey\, changed the direction of Jimmy’s life forever\, putting him into the path of Buddy Rich. \nJazz guitarists just don’t come any better. Jimmy Bruno combines a dazzling virtuoso technique with drive and swing to produce\, in concert and on record\, superb and inspired lyrical improvisations. \n—Maurice J. Summerfield\, noted British author of the definitive and highly regarded The Jazz Guitar Guide and The Classical Guitar Guide. \nAfter a whirlwind round-the-world tour as the youngest member of the Buddy Rich Orchestra\, he went on to play guitar in orchestras for Frank Sinatra\, Anthony Newley\, Doc Severinsen\, Lena Horne\, and many more music icons. Additionally he spent many years as an LA session musician working with Tommy Tedesco. But his first love was always jazz\, and by the time he was in his mid-thirties he was ready to come out of the background and into the spotlight. The first step was moving back East. \nPaying his dues by playing blistering guitar in the small clubs and venues around his beloved Philadelphia during the 1980s\, his reputation as one of the hottest guitar players grew. In 1992 he was discovered by Carl Jefferson\, the founder of Concord Records and landed a multi-CD recording deal. Since then\, Jimmy has recorded over 13 critically acclaimed CDs\, including “Sleight of Hand\,” “Like That\,” and “Polarity” (with Joe Beck). His most recent CD “Maplewood Avenue” (Affiliated Artists Records) has been described as having “…a ‘classic’ feel to it… like a famous album we somehow hadn’t discovered yet\,” and was honored by being selected as one of the top CD’s of 2008 by Downbeat magazine. \nIn recognition of his prodigious talents\, Jimmy has been invited to play at major music festivals around the world\, including the JVC\, Berks\, Vail\, and Concord Jazz Festivals\, and a whirlwind stop at the Pescara Jazz Festival in Pescara\, Italy. Over the years\, he has shared the stage with a who’s who of legendary and highly regarded musicians: Joe Beck\, Bobby Watson\, Jack Wilkins\, Tal Farlow (at Farlow’s 75th Birthday Concert)\, Howard Alden\, Christian McBride\, Curt Elling and many more. When a tribute concert was planned for Barney Kessel\, Jimmy was one of an invited group of 30 guitarists chosen to perform and was honored to open the tribute (with Howard Alden). He has also participated in tributes to jazz giants Kenny Burrell\, Herb Ellis and Johnny Smith. \nIn May of 2007\, Jimmy and Affiliated Artists opened the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute (JBGI). With his unique insight into jazz and jazz guitar\, Jimmy brought his method and “no nonsense” approach to jazz improvisation to eager guitar students around the world. Five months later\, his long-standing reputation as a jazz educator was further enhanced when he was invited to address and perform at the four-day Jazz Improv Convention in New York City. \nDownbeat magazine — in celebration of their 75th Anniversary in 2009 — named Jimmy as one of the top 75 guitarists of all time! \nIn 2011\, Jimmy created his own independent online jazz guitar school — the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Workshop — with all-new\, improved lesson content and delivery systems to better serve his huge jazz guitar student base around the world. Having spent three years with the Institute\, improving upon and tweaking his teaching method thanks to the direct feedback from his students\, he has once again revolutionized the way students can learn guitar on the Internet.

The next year was spent establishing live modes locally and on the road in tandem with writing 2017’s Perinde ac Cadaver—a 50-minute self-released endeavor to harness industrial aggression and ambient dynamics. \nAt the end of 2019\, the trio worked with Portuguese/Memphis label Thisco Records (home of such legendary artists as Jarboe and Merzbow) to release It Sheds Again—a 6-track dive into industrial psyche-punk that details evolution amid solipsistic self-destruction both socially and personally. The album has been reviewed as being an “industrial punk cataclysm” with a “rich and grandiose production” [Destroy//Exist 2020]. \nIn light of a canceled US tour\, The Pop Ritual spent the pandemic making progress in new material as well as re-interpretations of their previous works. 2022 includes a return to touring\, the release of new singles\, and a live retrospective in celebration of the Winter Solstice. \nThe Pop Ritual in their current form is Colin Wilson\, Scott Nivens\, and Michelle Karl with special guest Aaron Rude.

In 2020\, Kortland was invited to become a professional member of the Recording Academy (The Grammy Awards).

SUMMARY:One Night Only: Mark Edgar Stuart + Blueshift Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, December 2\, 2022\nDoors 7 p.m. | Show 7:30 p.m.\nTickets: $20 | $15 in advance \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nMemphis-based\, Arkansas-born singer-songwriter Mark Edgar Stuart performs a very special concert with Blueshift Ensemble\, a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. Stuart’s acclaimed songwriting will be paired with all-new arrangements written by Jonathan Kirkscey\, for a one-of-a-kind performance featuring a string quartet\, flute\, clarinet\, oboe\, and upright bass. \nYou’ll have a tough time finding a more widely embraced modern singer-songwriter in Memphis – Mark Edgar Stuart’s enthusiasm about his adopted hometown and what it has to offer is magnetic\, and his songs will stick with you. Quick-witted\, empathetic\, and self-deprecating\, aloof but probably alert of the room tone\, Stuart’s complementary musicality and contagiously honest voice showcase a resilient and relaxed artist\, both sage and seasoned. Grammy-winning music writer/director Robert Gordon is a big fan\, often spinning Mark’s tracks on his weekly radio show\, and other critics agree: “His acerbic wit is reminiscent of John Prine and Randy Newman” (No Depression); “His wry\, cutting view of the world makes something old new again” (Paste); “Always maintaining a tender demeanor\, his songwriting is smart as it is sincere” (Pop Matters). Mark’s stories are sweet but never saccharine\, even-keeled but deeply affecting. He’s lovable and literary\, smart yet plain-spoken\, heartening\, funny\, and always memorable. He sounds new and familiar\, fresh yet timeless. His songs sound like your favorite stories\, retold by a friend.

SUMMARY:Star & Micey with Jeff Hulett
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThursday\, December 1\, 2022\nDoors at 7 p.m. | Show at 7:30 p.m.\nTickets: $20 | $15 in advance \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nStar & Micey \nOne of Memphis’ most inventive and enduring bands. Formed in 2009\, Star and Micey has toured the US and Canada to play for a select crowd of die hard fans. Called “Tennessee’s Number One Band” by Paste Magazine in 2016 the group has continued to stay humble and live life on their terms. Having never broken up even once\, their relationship onstage is just as genuine offstage. \nLinktree : https://linktr.ee/starandmicey \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. \nIn fact\, his first love was not guitar\, but drums. He bought his first kit\, a used Maxx kit at a consignment store in ’96 after watching Fascist Frank & the German Brigade perform at the historic Antenna Club. A memorable Christmas indeed. \nHis sick beats 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 forthcoming 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 with 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 and Adam Poor. They formed the band Restless Townies. Their first album\, Miles Away\, released in April 2021\, and the trio has a new full length album on the way. In this outfit\, all players write and contribute to each other’s songs. \nHe’s also formed his own solo band with Jacob Church\, Jonathan Schallert\, Adam Poor\, and Lehman Sammons. They recorded a 45 at Sun Studios in June which will be out in early 2022. Both songs are further explorations into the storytelling style Hulett continues to live into. \nAs you can see\, Hulett has an endless well of positive energy and creative spirit. He continues to foster his many ongoing collaborations\, but always seems to have more soul in the tank for new projects with new people. \nFor more information\, visit smallbatchrecords.bandcamp.com. You can also follow him at dad_onarrival on Instagram\, JeffHulettMusic on Facebook\, and Jeff Hulett on Twitter. To hear more about his latest albums including some unreleased material\, and previous releases\, check him out on the Shangri-La Records Podcast.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ’ROUND MIDNIGHT
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ’ROUND MIDNIGHT at Crosstown Theater. \nBertrand Tavernier / 1986 / 133 minutes / Rated R\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \n’ROUND MIDNIGHT is a love letter from director Bertrand Tavernier to the heyday of bebop and the Black American musicians who found refuge in the smoky underground jazz clubs of 1950s Paris. In a sui generis\, Oscar-nominated fusion of performer and character\, legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon plays Dale Turner\, a brilliant New York jazz veteran whose music aches with beauty but whose personal life is ravaged by addiction. Searching for a fresh start in Paris\, Turner strikes up an unlikely friendship with a struggling single father and ardent jazz fan (François Cluzet) who finds his life transformed as he attempts to help the self-destructive musician. Herbie Hancock’s evocative\, Oscar-winning score sets the mood for this definitive jazz film\, a bittersweet opus that glows with lived-in\, soulful authenticity. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.
