Description

Crosstown Arts presents Loveland Duren in the Green Room. The Green Room at Crosstown Arts Doors at 7pm / Show at 7:30pm Tickets $10 Veteran recording artists Vicki Loveland and Van Duren are cradling dynamite once again with their brand new album release, Any Such Thing (Edgewood Recordings) Following the duo’s first two albums Bloody Cupid (2013) and Next (2016), Any Such Thing reflects the sum of their experiences through the past six years of performing in the Mid-South and in faraway locales. Traveling the indie film circuit in 2019 to LA, London, Australia, and Tasmania in support of the documentary Waiting: The Van Duren Story, Loveland Duren performed for ecstatic crowds who fell in love with their music. Any Such Thing swings from rock & soul to power pop to orchestral to rhythm & blues to eclectic improvisation in the most adventurous and wily ways. The Loveland Duren live band features top shelf Memphis musicians Art Edmaiston (sax/vocals), Gerald Stephens (keyboards), Adam Holton (bass, vocals), Ian Duren (drums), and guitarist Adam Hill (who recorded and mixed the new album). This new music from Loveland Duren is about life and love well lived set to a seriously evocative soundscape. And as Hemingway said, “Ain’t it pretty to think so?” Crosstown Arts is a contemporary arts organization dedicated to further cultivating the creative community in Memphis.
