Like Really Creative MUSE: Speed Portrait Swap
Back by popular demand, take part in a creative, laughter-inducing art game, led by artist and musician Justin Williams, where participants are prompted to sketch portraits of fellow attendees in record time. As the organizer states, “You do not have to be good at drawing. It’s actually better if you’re bad at drawing because that makes it even funnier.”
Bar DKDC / August 10, 6:30 pm – 8:30pm
WYXR Stereo Sessions: Snowglobe
Our Land Brains captures Snowglobe translating local acclaim into national recognition with melodic psych-pop rooted in ’60s tradition but firmly of the early-2000s indie underground. The album stands as a testament to Memphis’s enduring album-driven indie tradition.
Memphis Listening Lab / August 12, 6 – 8 pm
Creative Aging Concert Series: The Music Man
