Memphis has always had artists who do it all. Chris Townsend is one of them. A born-and-raised Memphian, Townsend has spent over a decade building a creative catalog spanning recording, songwriting, composition, and performance. Seven solo projects deep, he has never chased a single lane.
On May 21, he’s opening the door wider than ever.
A CHRISTOWNSEND JUNT is a one-man show designed to be something different. Not just a concert. An experience. An intimate night of music, storytelling, and community that walks through 11 years of his artistic journey in a space where the audience is part of the room, not just watching from it.
I want to create a forum for people to come and have a holistic experience that is unique and gives them a chance to go into my creative world,” Townsend shared. “And I hope this format becomes something other local artists can build on, too.
That last part matters. This is not just a celebration of his own work. It’s a blueprint. A proof of concept that Memphis artists can create their own stages, their own formats, and their own terms for connecting with an audience.
Doors open May 21. Entry starts at $11, but this is a proud-to-pay event. You pay what the experience means to you.
