When the Hi-Tone Cafe announced that it was closing in December, Memphis music fans weren't quite sure what effect it would have on the local scene. As it turns out, we probably shouldn't have worried so much, since the Hi Tone is reopening in their brand new space next week.
The Orpheum's annual Summer Movie series is one of my favorite annual events. The theatre, which is primarily used for Broadway shows returns to its movie house roots on weekends in June, July and August. The air conditioner is cranked up, there are all kinds of pre-show shenanigans (like costume contests, dance offs, etc.), and people get very, very into whatever is playing.
This weekend, the lovely ladies of Sock It To Me Burlesque would like to invite you to party like it's 1955.
Last weekend three new MemShops opened on Broad Ave., and while all of them are interesting (the other two are an art gallery and a soapmaker), I'm most excited about Five in One's new Social Club.
This week (April 21 - 27) marks the first annual Memphis Beer Week, which is exactly what it sounds like: seven glorious days of beer-related celebrations, tastings, beer dinners and samplings.
Overton Square's newest restaurant, Bar Louie, opened last weekend. Here's a quick preview of the square's huge new addition.
The Found Footage Festival, a touring ode to funny, forgotten VHS, returns to Memphis next Monday for one night only.
Tonight, check out the opening reception for Super-Epic Memphis Unicorn Magical Exhibition Show, an art show where all of the pieces are based on unicorns. No, this is not a joke.
If you haven't had a chance to check out "Present Tense" (the Dixon's current exhibit of Memphis art from the past 10 years), there's no better way to see it than during their Art and Soul party on Friday night.
