Also on Saturday’s busy day is ArtsMemphis’ Stax to the Max festival, featuring the appearance of three classic Memphis soul vocal groups The Temprees, The Mad Lads and The Astors, all of whom recorded for Stax back in the day. Although I was unable to get a detailed schedule, the flyer indicates who will appear.
I’m Curtis of The Astors, and thanks for your comments about the 2013 Stax To The Max Festival at The Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis. It was fun for us to prepare, and perform, for the first time in nearly 40 years. Performing with other artist from the “Stax Family” ( The Mad-Lads, The Temprees, & William Bell), and artist we were meeting for the first time. Also meeting and enjoying the talented students of The Stax Music Academy, and Soulsville Charter School, Our future entertainers, writers, producers, and music business administrators. What Wonderful week at Stax.
