Description

The Green Room at Crosstown Arts Friday, March 17, 2023 Doors open at 7 pm | Show begins at 7:30 pm Tickets: $15 in advance | $20 at the door ($10 students) The Otis Mission is led by veteran drummer and prominent Memphis musician, James Otis Sexton. While James is widely known as a versatile drummer, having performed, toured, or recorded with several world renowned and Grammy-winning artists, he is least known as a composer. For this reason, “The Otis Mission” was created, and it will solely perform James’ original musical compositions. Because he’s performed in a plethora of musical genres including gospel, jazz, fusion, rhythm & blues, hip hop, salsa, and more, it’s no surprise that his music would reflect just that. This promises to be a fun night of music and the inception of a new staple in Memphis music heritage. This ensemble consists of James Sexton (drums), Tony Dickerson (keys), Alvie Givhan (keys), Deante Payne (mallets), Joe Restivo (guitar), and Ted Partin (bass). Refund policy: Tickets may be refunded up to 72 hours in advance. Tickets for shows that are cancelled will be refunded. In the case of a postponed show, tickets will be refunded upon request, otherwise tickets will automatically be transferred to the new date.
