Due to expected inclement weather, the May 26 performance will be held indoors in the Garrison Lobby.

 

We invite you to join us for a series of musical performances, celebrating the sounds and genres of our temporary exhibition The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse.

Set outdoors on Walker Landing and surrounded by the beauty of Crystal Bridges’ natural setting, each performance gives the spotlight to one of the central genres featured in The Dirty South: Gospel, blues, and hip-hop. Each week, we’ll host local artists as they bring the stage to life with genre classics and crowd favorites. Want to dive a little deeper before the show? Stop by early and join us for Art Buzz, where expert insights and great drinks come together to explore each week’s musical genre.

Perfect for longtime music lovers and new fans alike, these performances promise to be the perfect accompaniment to a night out. We hope to see you there!
