MUSIC FOR LUNCH!  

The music is free and you can bring your own lunch or buy ours - every Thursday & Friday 12-1 !

Mid-south native Judith Johnstone returned to Memphis in 2007 after 14 years in Louisville.  In the brief interlude since her return, she has devoted her time to producing independent films as well as writing and performing her own songs for the Memphis small club and coffee house circuit.  She recently produced her second CD called "Swallow" which features her own original songs.  Judith attributes much of her musical inspiration to such singer/songwriters as Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams among others.  The songs she performs stem from the wide variety of traditional musical genres and cultural influences that have come to be known as "Americana." 

What's for lunch?  Local and Touring Single/Duo/Group Acts will Perform Blues, Soul, Rockabilly, Bluegrass, Jazz, and Folk - just come by and find out who's playing.

"Brown Bag" your own lunch or try one of the Center's authentic Southern dishes - meat or meatless chili, vegetarian greens, hot water cornbread and peach cobbler - all prepared by Center cook Ella Kizzie.

Support the Center - and yourself - by getting a FolkPass.  FolkPasses include two $5 vouchers good for any CSF show, plus a whole bunch of other perks.  That means for $50 you get $10 back just as a start - and benefits that will last all year long.  Check out the great benefits available during our Memphis Music &Heritage Festival!
