Memphis gave the Cumberland Collective a huge welcome Saturday night and the Collective gave it right back...with one of the best shows ever.
News update: Several Collective musicians will be streamed soon after 1 pm Friday on www.dittytv.com Memphis Acoustic Music Association presents The Cumberland Collective Saturday May 12, 2012 8 pm Otherlands Coffee Bar 641 S. Cooper St. Tickets: $8 at Otherlands and The Booksellers at Laurelwood In February, a remarkable thing happened at the Folk Alliance International Conference in Memphis. A young “collective” of singer/songwriters from across the nation who have joined forces under the name The Cumberland Collective took the conference by storm. Everyone there who had a chance to hear them heard magic. Memphis decided it wants more. There's just not anything like the Collective and, once you hear them, you’ll want the music never to end. They are 15 independent musicians who somehow found each other in Nashville and realized that together, they are formidable, irresistible, addictive. Their music is an eclectic mixture, ranging from old-time talking blues and soul to folk-pop anthems, original songs, and even a little country, with everybody (including the audience) joining in the music-making. 8 or 9 members of the Collective will be here for our show and we hope you’ll show them how OUR Music City audience welcomes great music!
