  Leah
LOCATION:The Green Room at Crosstown Arts
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable evening of songs and stories as Je
 ff Hulett & The Hand Me Downs play songs from their forthcoming record You
 r Help is Hurting. Joining them for a micro set will be Me & Leah backed b
 y the Hand Me Downs. Other special guests to be announced and don't be sur
 prised if the band plays some Christmas classics. This show is all ages an
 d not to be missed.\n\n**JEFF HULETT**\n\nFrom the outside\, Jeff Hulett m
 ight seem like a late-blooming guitarist and songwriter. But if you ask an
 y of his fellow musicians they’ll tell you he was writing songs and play
 ing music long before he put pen to paper or strummed a chord.\n\nHis uniq
 ue style landed him in the band Snowglobe. Over his many years with this M
 emphis-based institution\, Hulett regularly contributed melodies\, lyrics 
 and arrangements to many of the tunes in their prolific cannon. You can ev
 en hear a few of his originals in their discography.\n\nDuring his long te
 nure with Snowglobe\, Hulett continued to hone his own voice and develop h
 is own creative projects. He began playing guitar more\, and writing his o
 wn lyrics. This dedication and passion led to his collaboration with Leah 
 Keys in the band Me & Leah. They released an eponymous and beautiful CD in
  2016 featuring nine original folk tunes. Then in 2019\, Me & Leah added J
 onathan Schallert to the mix to record and partially release a digital cop
 y of their 7 inch Most of Your Life. Both albums were engineered by accomp
 lished mainstays Toby Vest and Pete Mathews of High/Low and Andrew McCalla
 \, respectively.\n\nBut it was when the pandemic struck that Hulett really
  hit his stride as a songwriter. All alone and with nowhere to go\, using 
 an old version of Garageband\, he started creating original tracks and col
 laborating with more and more musicians\, writers\, and other creators. He
  was one of the first artists in Memphis--or even the world--to give a voi
 ce to our collective feelings when he released his album Safe @ Home w/ Ja
 cob Church early in the pandemic. That record--a seven-song exploration of
  the new normal we were all just beginning to live--resonated around the g
 lobe. It even landed a spot on The English Show\, a weekly podcast out of 
 Basel\, Switzerland.\n\nThen\, after going on to release two solo albums o
 n Small Batch Records\, Hulett reconnected with old friends Melissa Goodwi
 n Shepherd and Adam Poor. They formed the band Restless Townies. Their fir
 st album\, Miles Away\, was released in April 2021\, and the trio has cont
 inued to release several EPs. In this outfit\, all players write and contr
 ibute to each other’s songs.\n\nFor more information\, visit smallbatchr
 ecords.bandcamps.com. You can also follow him at dad\\_onarrival on Instag
 ram\, JeffHulettMusic on Facebook and Jeff Hulett on Twitter. To hear more
  about his latest albums including some unreleased material\, and previous
  releases\, check him out on the Shangri-La Records Podcast here.\n\nBolet
