Hey Memphis! Are You Ready for Raised By Sound Fest?
Mark your calendars because December 7th is going to be one epic day in Memphis! The Raised By Sound Fest is making its grand return, bringing an explosion of music, community connection, and just plain good vibes to the amazing Crosstown Concourse. So, what do you say? Are you ready to get down?
Free Live Music for All Ages!
This isn’t just another Saturday, folks! From 1 to 6:30 p.m., the festival is going to blow your socks off with a lineup filled with talented artists. We’ve got the like of Blue Tom Revue, fosterfalls, Heartbreak Hill Trio, Cut Worms, and a special solo performance from Hurray for the Riff Raff. And did we mention? It’s all free! You heard that right—free family-friendly entertainment for everyone!
Keep the Party Going!
But folks, the fun doesn’t stop there. After the festival wraps up, get ready for an exciting evening with two ticketed fundraising events. For those lucky enough to snag a ticket, there’s a soulful sold-out show at the Crosstown Theater featuring William Eggleston’s Stranded in Canton, with a live score by J. Spaceman and John Coxon of Spiritualized.
And don’t forget the After Party kicking off at 9 p.m. in the East Atrium! For those grabbing a ticket to this function—hurry up and get yours now! Imagine a lively DJ set by The Black Keys, performances by Lil Noid and Tommy Wright III, plus free food and drinks from local favorites. Can you say “dream night”? This is going to be one for the record books!
Heads Up for Road Closures!
This amazing music fest falls on the same day as the St. Jude Marathon, so expect some road closures in the area. But instead of stressing about it, look on the bright side! Arrive early, find a good parking spot, and soak in all the day’s exciting events—because let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to hang out in Crosstown?
Plus, if you’re local and running the marathon, bring along your race bibs for an awesome perk—a free beer from Crosstown Brewing Co.. Whether you’re a marathoner or just cheering for your friends, who wouldn’t love a little treat for a job well done?

The Raised By Sound Fest, presented by MEMPHO, is more than just a music bash; it’s a full-on celebration of the Memphis community.
