A Memphis Music Revue with Amy Black
Sundilla and The Center for Arts and Humanities join forces once again to present A Memphis Music Revue with the Amy Black Band. One year ago Amy was celebrating the music of Muscle Shoals; now, hot on the heels of her latest CD, "Memphis," Amy and the band give new life to old classics originally recorded in Memphis, and some new tunes inspired by those old favorites.
The show will take place on Thursday, July 13, and weather permitting it will be an outdoor show at Pebble Hill (on Debardeleben Avenue, about a half-block away from our usual home at the AUUF.) Local favorites Blackberry Possum will get things started at 7:00, quickly followed by The Amy Black Band. Admission at the gate will be $20, but a limited number of advance tickets are available for just $15.
ABOUT AMY BLACK
Amy Blacks fourth solo release, Memphis (June 2017) was recorded in Memphis, TN with Scott Bomar, a grammy-nominated producer and leader of the band The Bo-Keys, at the helm. This powerful 10-song album includes seven originals and three classic covers, featuring three members of the Hi Rhythm section who played on Al Green's classics -- The Rev. Charles Hodges on the Hammond and piano, his brother Leroy Flick Hodges on bass, and Howard Grimes on drums, along with former Stax guitarist Bobby Manuel - all architects of the Memphis sound. Devising and creating the Memphis album was an obvious next step for Black on the heels of her third release, The Muscle Shoals Sessions" (June 20015), a project of mostly Muscle Shoals classics, featuring the legendary keyboardist and Swamper Spooner Oldham. The album was recorded at the historic FAME Studios in Black's family homeland of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. With the Muscle Shoals Sessions, Black established her true potential as a bluesy, R&B heavy hitter according to Elmore Magazine. Blues in Britain wrote, Black Is blessed with a deeply soulful voice that melds elements of Dusty Springfield, Mavis Staples and Alberta Hunter. And Relix Magazine described her sound as, "a blend of sultry desire and ardent passion...thats both tough and tender. According to Black, Recording in Muscle Shoals and doing 100+ shows where I sang some of the most soulful music that exists, brought something out in me I definitely didn't know was there. It developed me as an artist, helped me find my true sound and prepared me for the Memphis project. I've never been happier with the music I'm making and performing than I am right now. With the album, Memphis, Black has made a powerful connection with her musical passion, a passion she and her band joyfully share with audiences in her live performance of A Memphis Music Revue.
