Sweet Lu Olutosin's new album Meet Me at the Crossroads is a musical collaboration that creatively connects the dots between the gospel roots of Jazz and Blues with the toil that underpins the struggles of everyday people everywhere. The album features Jazz legend Donald Brown, Tyrone Jackson (piano), Mace Hibbard (Sax), Lester Walker (Trumpet), Henry Conerway III (Drums), Kevin Smith (Bass), and Crystal Monet (Vox).
Sweet Lu Olutosin uses his talent for truthfully articulating this existence by lyrically weaving stories of past and present struggle while forcing self-examination by his audience. This music Grooves Hard, and is guaranteed to get you moving from your seats to the dance floor.
“Sweet Lu’ Olutosin is one of the most promising male jazz singers around…. Throughout Meet Me At The Crossroads, Sweet Lu Olutosin provides warm vocals, versatility and subtle creativity. His latest release is well worth exploring and savoring” — SCOTT YANOW, Jazz journalist/historian and author of 11 books including “The Jazz Singers”
“To call Sweet Lu a griot is an understatement. He is a wise sage imparting age old lessons by deftly infusing our cultural history and family values utilizing a tapestry of blues, gospel and jazz that are pure entertainment from beginning to end.” — CARL ANTHONY, Jazz Curator, Notoriusjazz.com

“And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.” ― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
On this Summer's celebrations we look to the Bard himself for some inspiration.

So come costumed or come with your dance shoes and have an enchanting evening at Red Light Cafe! To see the full length of what fools these mortals be, our show will feature:
— FREE swing dance lessons at 8pm after doors open from Alyssa Jackson
— Our puckish resident DJ Doctor Q who will be sharing MC duties with the spritely Talloolah Love!
— Rosie Rivet-her as our hostess and stage kitten spirit
— Candi LeCoeur and Flame Cynders as our performers and dancing fey
— Wolfling as our featured go go dancer
— A Costume Contest: Show up in Shakespearean or Fairy attire for a chance to win tickets to next month's Secret Speakeasy and other door prizes.
— And our Titania for the evening is the Doris Day of dropping trou, our Lady of the Night, Dee Flowered!

Libro Musica presents Truett and Dreambrother and Kara Kole at Atlanta's Red Light Café Thursday, June 1st!
Truett will take you from the Mississippi Delta to Prince’s Minneapolis, Chicago blues to Bowery Punk, down through Outkast’s Atlanta and out the other side of the psychedelic rabbit hole. That explosive mix makes for a singular experience. Truett is more than the sum of his influences; what he does is unique and spectacular. His work is evocative of many things, but a carbon copy of nothing that came before. He’s classic and modern, new and old, absolutely stunning in his raw, unbridled authenticity.
Dreambrother gracefully bridges the gap between alt-rock and electronic music with soulful, colorful imagery.
Kara Kole has an eclectic sound infused with flavors of rhythm & blues, funk, rock n’ roll, and alternative soul. Influenced by 60’s R&B divas like Etta James and Nina Simone, and modern-day crooners such as Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse, the singer/songwriter tastefully delivers a blend of modern and classic styles.
