"SUMMERTIME" Cypher with Aja Ray



Earlier this summer we ran into this amazing voice we heard at an open mic hosted by Darius aka "PhatMak" in Memphis. We vibed to her performing with the D.O.P.E. Poets from Atlanta by way of Phili. She enjoyed what we did as well. We even did something together last minute during the open mic. After that, we just stayed outside of the venue jamming. Next thing you know, cypers were happening left and right!!!!!! There were too many of them to count. Wish we could've caught all of them on camera. However, we did catch this one. It's our version of "Summertime" with a little Aja Ray flavor. Hope you enjoy!...

AA @ River Arts Festival




AA was the opening act for the rainy second day of the River Arts Festival in Memphis. Cindy helped us out once again with a few songs. We were out "Singin' in the Rain" for a second. The crowd was small at first. As the rain slowed up, they started gathering around. It was our first time performing at the festival. The people were very responsive to us. It was a definitely a great experience. A lot of networking took place. It feels like this will be the first of many more performances at this festival.

Here are a few clips from our performance.



AA @ Indie Memphis Film Festival

At the last minute, AA was invited to perform at the Indie Memphis Film Festival lounge last saturday evening. It was a great opportunity. Had a chance to perform for many local, as well as national, indie film directors including Craig Brewer, the director of "Hustle and Flow". He seemed very pleased with our performance. Cindy helped us that night by gracing mic with a few songs. A lot of networking took place. Shout outs to Tonya Dyson and Tameka Daniel for the opportunity.

Here are a few pics from the show!!...






AA @ Strange Fruit Fashion Show




The Strange Fruit Fashion Show was a success!! Anybody who was anybody, or even wanted to somebody be was there. The art community represented very well. The cool kids mingled. The music was hot. The clothes were hip. It definitely was the place to be that friday.

This is our opening performance at the Strange Fruit Vintage Fashion Show!! We did our best to start the event off with something fresh. Shout out to Petey for having us. The whole event was DOPE!! If you missed, man, you REALLY MISSED IT!!
