Occasionally\, unearthing a set of original compositions at one of Omaha’s many dark corner bars. \n \nIn the still of the pandemic\, Pratt found himself focusing deeply on acoustics and how to color a space without amplification. \n \nIn December of 2023\, following a debut set of new material at the preeminent Grapefruit Records\, friend and collaborator Simon Joyner encouraged Pratt to record the songs from that night “quickly\, while everything is still new.”\n \nThree weeks later\, on New Year’s Day\, recording began at Another Recording Company with James Schroeder (Rosali\, David Nance and Mowed Sound) at the board. Over the next three days Pratt\, Megan Siebe\, Colin Duckworth and James Maakestad recorded what would become ‘Prairie Whistle Call’. All tracked live\, leaving time to breathe and never forcing it.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts Presents: Shadowlands
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Shadowlands in The Green Room \nTHE GREEN ROOM AT CROSSTOWN ARTS\nTHURSDAY\, MAY 22\, 2025\nDOORS OPEN AT 7 PM | SHOW BEGINS AT 7:30 PM\nTICKETS: $28 IN ADVANCE (PLUS FEES) | $33 AT THE DOOR \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nJohn Raymond x S. Carey “Shadowlands”\nJohn Raymond and S. Carey have been playing music together for close to twenty years since their time studying music at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. While they both received training in jazz and classical music\, their careers would soon head in very different directions. Carey would become the right-hand man to Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver); collaborate as a multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter\, and producer with the likes of Sufjan Stevens\, Low\, and Bruce Hornsby among others; and release four albums of his own to critical acclaim from Pitchfork\, NPR\, and more. Raymond\, on the other hand\, would become a Grammy-nominated trumpeter and composer “steering jazz in the right direction” (Downbeat); release eight albums garnering praise from the New York Times\, Stereogum\, and others; and teach on faculty at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University\, one of the most prestigious music conservatories in the world.\nIn 2019\, the two reunited and began experimenting on what their artistic voices would sound like together. Raymond brought in a host of musical ideas\, while Carey contributed lyrics and helped shape the ideas into songs. Producer Sun Chung (formerly with ECM Records) came on board shortly after\, and together they enlisted a cast of A-list musicians to help flesh out the music including pianist Aaron Parks (Terri Lyne Carrington\, Terence Blanchard)\, bassist Chris Morrissey (Norah Jones\, Mark Guiliana)\, and guitarist Dave Devine (Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band).\nThe result is their new album\, Shadowlands (Libellule Editions)\, a stunning\, genre-bending collection of songs that combines the warmth and beauty of Carey’s aesthetic with the improvisational\, spontaneous nature of Raymond’s. The music ranges from intimate and meditative to soaring and anthemic\, with electric moments of musical interplay throughout. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels as if it were years in the making.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arts presents: Bleeding Together\, [Fe]atured Ar[Ti]sts\, and Zen on the Installment Plan
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents an Opening Reception for three new exhibitions\, “Bleeding \nTogether”\, “Fe]atured Ar[Ti]sts ”\, and “Zen on the Installment Plan” featuring works by \nartist duo A Correspondence\, the Metal Museum\, and Tad Lauritzen Wright. Come celebrate \nthe opening of new works with a musical experience by DJ Ty Boyland\, a special menu created \nby Bao Toan—food generously donated by Ben E. Keith–and a complimentary cocktail from Art \nBar at Crosstown Arts. The event is free and open to the public. Wrap up the evening at the \nFunkytown Dance Party with South Memphis Jeff in the Green Room at Crosstown Arts! \nBleeding Together – A Correspondence \nIn Bleeding Together\, Arauz and Meyers bring their practice into the gallery and invite the viewer further \ninto their collaborative process. Collages and poems are disassembled and presented as wheat-pasted \nwood panels\, creating an intimate dialogue for the viewer to witness — imagining how these pieces are \nmeant to fit together\, what they might mean alone\, together\, in different arrangements. Bleeding Together \nexplores what it means to coalesce and be vulnerable\, to find community and tend to our wounds \ntogether. \nA Correspondence is the name under which Andres Arauz and Abby Meyers make collaborative work\, \nwhich primarily takes the form of wheat-pasted street art. Arauz is a first-generation Nicaraguan American \nborn and raised in New Orleans\, LA. He received a degree in graphic design from Loyola and a master’s \nin arts education from the University of Memphis\, and currently works as an art teacher. Arauz specializes \nin photo collage\, design\, and photography. Meyers is a born and raised Memphian. She is a visual artist\, \na poet\, and an award-winning filmmaker whose work explores themes including trauma\, memory\, and \nsurvival\, particularly as it relates to sexual violence. \n[Fe]ATURED AR[Ti]STS – Metal Museum \n[Fe]ATURED AR[Ti]STS was created and curated by staff members of Memphis’s own Metal Museum. \nMuch like elements are the building blocks of the materials we use\, creativity\, collaboration\, and tradition \nare the cornerstones of the Museum. Staff across departments maintain their own artistic practices\, \ndisplaying a tremendous variety of styles and mediums. Our shops build custom commissions\, repair and \nrestore all manner of metal objects\, and offer public workshops that span traditional methods and \ncontemporary technology. Our galleries and permanent collection host exhibitions of works made around \nthe world. Together\, these various elements form an institution that is greater than the sum of its parts\, \npreserving and advancing fine metalworks on both local and international scales. This collection exhibitsdifferent processes integral to the Museum’s mission and other artistic mediums important to our staff’s \ncreative pursuits. Primarily composed of forging\, casting\, fabricating\, and fine smithing\, this showcase \nalso features other techniques such as photography\, painting\, woodworking\, and music. \nZen on the Installment Plan – Tad Lauritzen Wright \nZen on the Installment Plan was conceived as a meditation on the contradiction of chaos and \ncontemplation. These pieces do not seek answers but rather function as reactions to observations. The \ncontinuous line throughout much of the work is a visual and conceptual thread used to emphasize our \nconnectedness to humanity\, nature\, and repeated histories. The photo abstractions and sculptural works \nconstructed from salvaged wood emphasize controlled chaos and the instability of modern perception. \nThis work is intended to foster a dialogue between viewer\, object\, and environment. \nI’ve been thinking about scale and proportion a lot lately. The size of an object can make it seem \nimportant or unimportant. And we all measure things according to the size of ourselves. Things that are \nsmaller than us can seem trivial\, while larger objects can feel overwhelming. Yet\, when considering the \nvastness of the universe\, our planet seems tiny and inconsequential. \nMy current series focuses on the juxtaposition of small figures within expansive landscapes\, alongside \nlarge-scale portraits depicting figures of profound personal meaning from my childhood. The pieces \ninvolving small figures in massive spaces\, create a sense of insignificance. The large portraits give off a \nsense of immense importance. But this is all relative to the size of the viewer and how it makes them \nfeel. I often think about how humans fit into this world and how small we actually are compared to the rest \nof the universe. I am very interested in the purpose of human existence\, but it seems like we do a lot of \nweird things for no reason. And I’d like to learn as much as I can with my time here on Earth. \nTad Lauritzen Wright\, born in 1972 in San Angelo\, Texas\, is a mixed media artist known for his \nexperimental approach to art-making. Growing up in San Angelo\, Lauritzen Wright was immersed in a rich \ntapestry of cultural influences\, including rodeo\, punk rock\, and Mexican border town aesthetics. These \nearly experiences shaped his creative vision\, leading him to explore themes of mythology\, personal \nhistory\, and societal narratives in his work. Lauritzen Wright earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from \nNebraska Wesleyan University in 1994 and later obtained a Master of Fine Arts from the Memphis \nCollege of Art in 2002. \nSince 2000\, he has exhibited his work extensively across the United States. \nIn his current practice\, Lauritzen Wright combines symbolism\, abstraction\, poetry\, painting\, and \ncollage to create mixed media installations that invite viewers to engage in personal discovery. \nHis work is characterized by a playful interplay between fine art\, craft\, and contemplation.

After fleeing Vietnam during the war\, our \nfamily found refuge here in 1978 and worked tirelessly to rebuild their lives while uplifting others in thecommunity. Our grandmother opened the first Asian grocery store in the area\, giving other immigrants a \nplace to find similar ingredients—and\, in a way\, a taste of home. Together with our grandfather\, they went \non to establish the first Buddhist temple in the region in 1985 that still sits right off Jefferson They helped \nother immigrant families settle and eventually thrive in Memphis. Their efforts didn’t just preserve their \nculture; they built a community where others could do the same. At Bao Toan\, we continue this legacy of \npreservation and connection. \n“We pulled flavors from different regions so people can experience the contrast between northern\, \ncentral\, and southern Vietnamese food\,” owner Karina Tong explained. “Northern dishes highlight fresh \nherbs and balanced flavors\, while central and southern cuisine incorporates more spice and influences \nfrom bordering countries.” \nCrosstown Arts Gallery | Free Admission \nMay 30 – September 14\, 2025
