Mark Edgar Stuart – September 20th
Mark has toured with Grammy nominee Alvin Youngblood Hart and cut two records with songwriter Cory Branan, which led to an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. With little fuss or fanfare he became a go-to bass player for an elite group of Memphis players. After spending so much time in the company of strong songwriters, it was only a matter of time before Mark amassed his own collection of humble, humorous and sometimes heartbreaking songs. Jeremy Shrader & Friend – October 4th Jeremy Shrader, trumpeter, guitarist and vocalist, and Friend, are well-known in Memphis and beyond. With a focus on swing, jazz and American standards from the 1920s – 1960s, they appeal to people of all ages and walks of life. Philip Jaynes & Parker Anderson – October 18th Philip and Parker, both accomplished acoustic guitarists, have played music together since meeting at The Daily Planet open mic night in 1993. Performing both original songs and covering songs by John Prine, Mac McAnally, and Leo Kottke, amongothers, Philip also recorded a CD of original compositions, Steel String Acoustic, which reached the top ten most requested on WUMR. You should not miss this opportunity to witness them perform together, and, at times, apart – an evening which will include originals, instrumentals, story songs and stories. . |
