SUMMARY:Folk All Y’all: Jessye DeSilva
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts and Folk All Y’all present Jessye DeSilva in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, June 15\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nJessye DeSilva (she/they)’s new\, crowdfunded album\, Renovations\, chronicles an ongoing\, imperfect journey to self-love and -acceptance\, full of both moments of resignation and moments of triumph. \n\n\n\n\nDeSilva\, a non-binary\, trans person and the child of a preacher whose conservative religion left no room for their personhood\, examines identity and trauma and reckons with privilege and marginalization across 11 songs that draw from both their classical vocal training and work as a voice teacher for musical theater students at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music and their love of ’90s emo and pop-rock. The 2023 Nashville Scene artist to watch and 2022 Boston Music Awards Americana Artist of the Year nominee put queer and trans empowerment at the very heart of Renovations\, both in their encouraging\, vulnerable lyrics and in the musicians they enlisted to play on their songs.

It is the first movie I know about that combines (1) punk teenagers\, (2) automobile repossessors\, and (3) aliens from outer space. This is the kind of movie that baffles Hollywood\, because it isn’t made from any known formula and doesn’t follow the rules.” — Roger Ebert \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Dead Soldiers: Sad Songs and Story Time in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nFriday\, June 21\, 2024\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDead Soldiers is an eight-piece band from Memphis\, Tennessee\, whose eclectic compositions feature a rock’n’roll core that lifts five-part vocal harmonies\, horns and strings to create a wall of sound. Building on the musical traditions of the Delta and the melting pot aesthetic that first made Memphis the home of rock and roll\, their music is at once irreverent and uniquely American. While firmly rooted in the modern urban South\, they draw heavily from the inspiration of a range of artists: Tom Waits to The Band\, John Prine and Bob Dylan to Frank Zappa and Randy Newman. Like Dead Soldiers\, they’re all artists who refuse to be easily classified. With humor\, cynicism and an underlying foundation of humanity\, Dead Soldiers’ songs root for the underdog while skewering the hypocrisy of the post-modern media landscape. \n\nOn the heels of their first new music release since 2017 — Dead Soldiers: Ride EP — the band also has a video premiere on June 6 at the Memphis Listening Lab. Recognized for their raucous and rowdy shows\, they seldom get to perform a fair bit of their catalog that is more conducive to a listening room environment. This show will feature many of Dead Soldiers’ least-performed songs and unique arrangements of existing songs in their live repertoire.

SUMMARY:Artist Talks

Some people think it’s drawn out\, others think it’s charming. Some folks may appropriate\, but none can replicate. In this culmination of speech\, artists expose their own experiences with southern vernacular. All content will reflect the various interpretations from local Memphis-based artist in their hometown. The show will explore how southern speech has shaped their view of community and themselves. \nHidden Gems\nTo level up we must get out of our own way. That can begin with taking a chance or creating one. In this exhibition we search for the hidden gems in our community. This show includes artists with modest visibility and offers them an opportunity to show up and be uncovered. \nCurated by Najee Strickland and Kiara Sally

In 2016 he was honored with the induction into the Music Hall of Fame of his hometown Rochester\, NY. He is an active clinician and educator in the United States and in Europe and is holding the title of Honorary Associate of London’s Royal Academy Of Music (Hon ARAM) since 2013.

SUMMARY:WYXR presents 2024 Stereo Session #5: Blackout “Dreamworld”
DESCRIPTION:“Dreamworld” by Blackout has left a lasting impact on the rap landscape\, particularly within the Memphis rap scene and beyond. Blackout’s production style\, characterized by deep bass\, broken hi-hats\, and eerie synths\, has influenced subsequent generations of artists who appreciate the album’s distinctive and haunting soundscape. The lo-fi production\, capturing a nightmarish ambiance\, has become a signature element that many artists seek to emulate. \nIn terms of influence\, Blackout’s approach to creating atmospheric and chilling instrumentals has resonated with producers and rappers exploring similar sonic territories. The album’s intense\, fever-pitch deliveries\, exemplified in tracks like “Mission of a Murda\,” have set a precedent for artists aiming to evoke genuine unease and intensity in their music. \nWhile “Dreamworld” may not be as widely recognized in mainstream circles\, its influence extends into underground and niche rap communities\, where artists value the raw\, authentic\, and unsettling qualities embedded in the album’s production. The album’s impact is not only confined to its era but continues to reverberate among those who appreciate the unique and influential contributions of Memphis rap in the ’90s. \nWYXR 91.7 FM’s “Stereo Sessions” \, presented by MEMPHO\, offers hi-fi album listening parties at the Memphis Listening Lab. \nMemphis Listening Lab\nWednesday\, August 14\, 2024\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nFREE
