Your Crosstown Guide to Father’s Day Weekend

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21, and Crosstown Concourse has everything you need to treat the dads in your life—no neckties required. Whether he’s a music lover, dinner enthusiast, or just here for the beer, this is the weekend to make memories.

🎶 Celebrate with Live Music

Hodge Podge Collage
Saturday, June 20 | 6:00 PM | Crosstown Brewing Co.
No agenda. No dress code. Just good music and a cold drink. Pull up a seat with Dad and let local favorites Hodge Podge Collage set the tone for the evening. This is the kind of night that unfolds on its own — unhurried, unpretentious, and exactly what a good Saturday calls for.

Mississippi Blues Night with Willie Farmer and Ryan Lee Crosby
Saturday, June 20 | 7:30 PM | The Green Room at Crosstown Arts
This one’s for the dad who knows his Muddy Waters from his Howlin’ Wolf. Willie Farmer is the real thing: a 65-year-old Delta blues guitarist from Duck Hill, MS, who never traded in his old-school sound for anything flashier. Think Lightnin’ Hopkins on a Saturday night. Joining him is Ryan Lee Crosby, a devoted student of the form who brings the stomping energy of North Mississippi alongside the haunting, hypnotic blues of Bentonia — the hometown of the legendary Skip James. Two distinct traditions, one unforgettable night.

🎟️ Tickets: $20–$25

Strictly Jazz: The Music of Louis Hayes feat. Henry Conerway III

Saturday, June 20 | 7:30 PM | The Green Room at Crosstown Arts

Father’s Day is a good day to celebrate the people who shaped everything that came after them. Louis Hayes — Detroit native, jazz cornerstone, and one of the most quietly essential drummers in the music’s history — has done exactly that. From early recordings with Horace Silver to landmark sessions with Cannonball Adderley, a co-leadership with Woody Shaw, and decades of mentorship, Hayes is a living link to jazz’s greatest era. Henry Conerway III is telling his story through song this Sunday. Come give him his flowers while you can.

🎟️ Tickets: $25–$30
