SUMMARY:Sean McConnell & Garrison Starr Present: My Sister\, My Brother
DESCRIPTION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nWednesday\, May 3\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 in advance | $25 day of show | $75 VIP \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIf trust had a sound\, it’d be My Sister\, My Brother. \n“Sometimes you just immediately trust somebody––you’re at ease from the beginning\,” says Garrison Starr “You know they’ve got your back. It feels easy. I immediately felt that way with Sean.” \nGarrison is talking about Sean McConnell\, her musical partner in My Sister\, My Brother\, a new group with the kind of natural magic that only happens when kismet masquerades as coincidence. Individually\, they are independent solo artists known for smart songwriting and breathtaking vocals. Together\, their voices reach that rarefied air typically reserved for families: harmonies that twin and snake around each other to hypnotize and soothe. “When we started writing and especially when we started singing together\, it was like\, ‘Wow. This is not normal. This feels very natural\,’” Sean says. “It feels like singing with a sibling you’ve sung with for a long time. Very quickly\, it became a special collaboration.” \nThe two artists formed My Sister\, My Brother\, not because they’d planned to\, but because they had to. They first sat down to write during a songwriting retreat. They emerged with “Nothing Without You\,” a stunner with its heart on its sleeve. \nVIP: Early entry directly after sound check (6:30 pm). 15-20 minute Q&A with Garrison and Sean.

Waking Up has nine songs\, all written by Michael Graber. “We wanted to push the boundary limits even more on this one\, staying song-centered\,” says Graber. \nThe album begins with a rambunctious saga of pent-up domesticity\, “All the Time.” The pensive meditation “Morning on the Water” follows with lead vocals by Kitty Dearing. “Taproot” starts with a 12-string\, followed with saxophone and hand percussion\, and features guests Hope Clayburn and Jesse Dakota. “Waking Up” is an “Astral Weeks in Memphis”-type of dream song\, about waking up in all connotations. “Living on a Faultline” finds the band at their funky best. Then Kitty takes the microphone again to lead “Hardcore Heartbreak”. Two more folk pop structured songs follow: “Okay” and “Good to You”. “Faultline”\, a Carter-family inspired song about living on the New Madrid Faultline closes the set. \nGraber Gryass includes Michael Graber (Guitar and Vocals)\, Kitty Dearing (Vocals and Saw)\, Andy Ratliff (Mandolin and Vocals)\, Andrew Geraci (Bass)\, Clint Wagner (12-string and Fiddle)\, Randal Morton (Banjo)\, Caleb Ryan Martin (High-strung Guitar and Baritone Banjo) with these guests: Jesse Dakota (Percussion)\, Hope Clayburn (Flute and Sax)\, and Joe Mahanahan (Vibraphone). The album was recorded at High/Low\, engineered by Pete Matthews\, mixed by Matt Qualls\, and produced by Michael Graber. \nGraber Gryass is an all-original\, acoustic jam-grass band from Memphis\, Tennessee. Take an award-winning writer\, have him craft songs\, and then layer in some of the regions hottest players\, including a Winfield-winning banjo champion\, the musical director of Public Enemy\, members of such bands as Rumpke Mountain Boys\, and others—and you have Gryass. This six-piece band can sing harmonies like the Mamas and the Papas\, stretch out and jam like the Dead or New Grass Revival all while keeping audiences moving and inspired.

SUMMARY:Alex Greene & the Rolling Head Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Alex Greene & the Rolling Head Orchestra in The Green Room. \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nSaturday\, May 27\, 2023\nDoors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nSession keyboardist and composer Alex Greene (Reigning Sound\, Big Ass Truck\, the Kropotkins\, Deepstaria Enigmatica) has over three decades of experience in Memphis and New York\, and has performed and recorded albums and soundtracks with the Rolling Head Orchestra since 2009. Whether he’s in singer/songwriter mode or leading a jazz band\, his compositions combine strong melodic lines with unexpected\, shape-shifting harmonies. Combining themes worthy of the Golden Age of Hollywood with more modernist sonic textures\, and echoing artists as diverse as Thelonious Monk\, Duke Ellington\, and Sun Ra\, the classic jazz sextet of the Rolling Head Orchestra is now augmented by the eerie wail of the Theremin. \nIn 2010\, the Rolling Head Orchestra scored the documentary Citizens Not Subjects: Reawakening Democracy in Memphis\, leading to the album Depression Jubilee. The group has gone on to perform original scores for silent films since 2019\, when Greene was a Resident Composer at Crosstown Arts\, including soundtracks for A Trip to the Moon; Aelita\, Queen of Mars; Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman; Flesh and the Devil with Greta Garbo\, and\, as commissioned by the Indie Memphis Film Festival in 2022\, Häxan. \nIn this one of a kind show at The Green Room\, Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra will focus on these cinematic set pieces as stand-alone works. Free to stretch out over Greene’s compositions\, the band\, featuring some of Memphis’ finest players\, will bring the music to life as never before\, blending jazz rhythms and horns with the haunting tones of the Theremin.
