IMPORTANT


FRIDAY, MARCH 1

Moniquea at Eight & Sand

9 p.m. / Free

Moniquea is a California-based singer, songwriter, and DJ who’s spent over a decade immersed in the sounds of funk and electronic music, both retro and contemporary. She’ll be spinning at Eight & Sand from the evening ‘til the early morning.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5

Disney Princess - The Concert at the Orpheum Theatre

7 p.m. / $29.50+

This feels a bit opposite in this column’s spirit, but I say you should take any opportunity you get to hear a real Broadway vocalist sing “Part of Your World” or “Just Around the Riverbend” instead of a drunk Disney Adult at karaoke. Also, The Walt Disney Company would really like you to know that no costumed Disney characters will be appearing at this event—if you want to meet Jasmine or Tiana for real, you’re going to have to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane for a Meet & Greet for $15, on top of your purchase of Disney Genie+, which you can purchase the day of your trip for anywhere from $15 to $39 per ticket per day (depending on surge pricing), which will allow you to make Individual Lightning Lane selections for many Disney World attractions. It’s all very simple, really!

FRIDAY, MARCH 8

Spiñorita at Eight & Sand

9 p.m.

LA-based DJ Spiñorita is a lover of underground vinyl culture, be it collecting, DJing, preservation, anything. She incorporates funk, soul, hip-hop, disco, house and Latin music into her live sets and mixes. She also has a radio show which you check out here!

SATURDAY, MARCH 9

Folk All Y’all presents Julie Williams at Crosstown Arts

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 7:30 / $20

Country singer-songwriter Julie Williams is making waves in Nashville with her deeply personal music that reflects her mixed-race Southern upbringing and diverse background. As we’re currently learning, thanks to Beyoncé’s recent drops, being at least kinda brown in the country industry ain’t easy! 

TUESDAY, MARCH 12

Bermuda Search Party at Growlers

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 / $12 advance, $15 day of show

The Boston-based band Bermuda Search Party look and sound like four of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet, like the kind of folks who’d hit you up on a windy afternoon to fly kites. Just absolutely no edge to speak of, which is kind of refreshing?

SATURDAY, MARCH 16

Scarface at Minglewood

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 / $75+

Hot off the heels of his widely-acclaimed NPR Tiny Desk appearance last year, legendary MC and Geto Boys founding member Scarface is making a stop in Memphis on his nationwide tour. This is not one to miss.

FRIDAY, MARCH 22

Kurt Vile & The Violators at Minglewood

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 / $40

Indie singer-songwriter Kurt Vile was one of the founding members of the Philly-based rock band the War on Drugs, but he’s more known for his dreamy, lo-fi solo work.
 

Art Edmaiston with Ra Kalam Bob Moses at Crosstown Arts

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 7:30 / $15 advance, $20 day of show

I won’t lie. I’ve never heard of Art Edmaiston and I only put this show on here because I just thought he looks cool as hell in the photo they used. Then I went to his YouTube channel and it’s full of videos with only a few hundred views of him and Moses making noise in somebody’s living room. That’s how you stay young, people.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MARCH 29-30

Bob Dylan at the Orpheum Theatre

8 p.m. / $75+

Singer-songwriter and living legend Bob Dylan still has the desire and energy to entertain a crowd, and we should all be respectful. That being said, he’s only got 3.5 stars out of 5 on Ticketmaster.
