J.D. Reager: Tales of Two Cities

J.D. Reager (Credit: Jennifer Brown Reager).

J.D. Reager, who has written extensively for the Memphis Flyer, has been making things happen in the Memphis music scene for most of his life. The founder of the Rock for Love benefit concerts for the Church Health Center over a decade ago and a key player in the Makeshift Music collective and label, he’s been an often-underrecognized presence on the scene.

But if you think that ended when he moved to Chicago in 2017, think again. Though he is fully owning his new adopted home as never before, he continues to fuel the flames of the Memphis-Chicago connection. When Chicago music fans look across the landscape for inspiration, Memphis looms large on their horizon. It’s something Reager is aware of now more than ever.

“I noticed when I moved up here, a lot of my Memphis ‘credits’ that didn’t mean shit in Memphis at all, to anybody, suddenly meant something to somebody,” he notes. “One of my managers at Reckless Records told me the Pezz record I played on was one of his all-time top five favorite records. When I tell folks that I know Jeremy Scott, they think that shit’s a big deal. And most of the bands I’ve played in have had better shows in Chicago than in other places. I can’t explain the connection, but it’s definitely there.”

Reager himself is helping stoke continued interest in Memphis music through his Back to the Light podcast, produced from his Chicago basement. Scanning through the list of interviewees reads like a who’s who of Memphis music. Local stalwarts such as Graham Burks, Joshua Cosby of Star & Micey, Oxford/Memphis phenom Ben Ricketts, and Music Export Memphis founder Elizabeth Cawein are just a few examples.

“That’s who my friends are, that’s where I’m from,” explains Reager. “And that’s gonna continue. My next interview will be with Ross Johnson. Even some of my outside interviews have Memphis connections. Like Ken Stringfellow [the Posies founder who joined the latter-day Big Star]. Dave Catching [Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the Stone Age], who played with [legendary ’80s rockers] the Modifiers, has Memphis connections. Everything I do comes from Memphis. It’s still in my heart, even though I’m not there. I feel, in a weird way, more connected to it now than I did when I was living there.”

But Back to the Light isn’t the only expression of Reager’s deep roots here. It’s not even the only podcast. “Back to the Light is not just gonna be a show. We’re gonna have a podcast network, with three shows: Back to the Light, The Jack Alberson SongStory podcast, and, starting in September, we’ll have the first episode of a monthly Shangri-La Records podcast.” Beyond that, his Back to the Light record label will be launching a new series of releases in November. “I need to make a list of everything I have going on,” he says, “because it’s a lot.”

The label will be similarly Memphis-centric, beginning with older recordings Reager made with his Memphis band, Two Way Radio. “We were in $5 Cover, the Craig Brewer show. And we made a record with Scott Bomar. That was 10 years ago. It never came out, but it’s coming out in November.” Look for records by Alyssa Moore and Reager himself next year on the Back to the Light label.

A life centered on Memphis music comes naturally to Reager. He sees it as having been inevitable. “My late father, John Paul Reager, was one of the many bass players of the Modifiers, and was also the soundman at the Antenna Club in the ’80s and early ’90s. He was better known as the guitar player in the Blues Alley Orchestra. He played with B.B. King and Rufus Thomas and every famous blues musician who came through Memphis in the ’80s. There was a John Paul Reager day in the city of Memphis in, like, 1984. I probably had no choice in the matter. I’m not built for much else.

“But,” adds the lifelong fan of the Modifiers, “I think of [Modifiers founder] Bob Holmes as my true spiritual father. I feel like I’m carrying on his legacy, not my dad’s.” Since Holmes’ death last fall, “something has awakened inside of me that’s been closed off for a long time. It’s lessons learned from Bob, honestly. Time’s too short. We need to get this shit out while we’re still alive.”

Tribute to J.D. Reager Salutes a Mover and a Shaker

J.D. Ponders Where the ‘L’ to Go in Chicago

If you know Memphis music, you know J.D. Reager, an indefatigable musician and promoter of shows. Many a benefit concert and charity has been the brainchild of Reager, such as Rock for Love, the series of annual concerts that he jump started in 2009 in support of the Church Health Center; or last year’s multi-band extravaganza at Lafayette’s Music Room in honor of the Monkees.

As a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, he was one of the driving forces behind the local Makeshift Music collective, a group of artists who support each other, among other methods, via an independent record/CD/cassette label (which in turn would often compile the works of artists featured in the Rock for Love concerts). He would often join in concert festivities with his own band, the Cold Blooded Three (Eric Wilson, Matthew Trisler, and Bubba John Bonds), a band that could move adeptly from bubblegum pop to country rock in a heartbeat. And, like many Memphis musicians, he would play in various ad hoc ensembles, as when he led the house band for the event, “Memphis Cares: A Bowling Green Massacre Victims Benefit Concert,” which took place on April Fools Day of this year.

Tribute to J.D. Reager Salutes a Mover and a Shaker

Readers of The Memphis Flyer have also known his writings on local musical and other happenings for years. (Below are a few of his contributions to the entertainment and sports reportage of this city). Alas, he’ll be shifting his focus to the north these days, as he and his wife, Jennifer Brown Reager, make the move to Chicago. Transplanting his talents to the Midwestern metropolis will no doubt yield many more years of fruitful music and words, and perhaps lead to a rich cross fertilization between here and there. In the meantime, local friends will gather in his honor tonight to bid farewell and celebrate his new, skyscraper-peppered horizons.

Movin’ On Up

Church Health is unique among Memphis institutions. It was founded three decades ago by Scott Morris as a place to provide help for the working poor who fall through the cracks of our broken health insurance system. Some of those people are Memphis musicians.

“A lot of musicians and artists don’t have access to health care,” says Church Health Communications Director Marvin Stockwell. “This is the music scene itself backing a cause that helps so many of them. That’s been the message of the show for 11 years.”

Stockwell, a founding member of the legendary Memphis punk band Pezz, was one of the driving forces behind starting the Rock for Love benefit concerts. The annual weekend of live music has raised tens of thousands of dollars to help pay for the care of poor Memphians. Three months ago, Church Health moved to an expanded new home in the Crosstown Concourse building.

Stockwell says scheduling Rock for Love for the same weekend as the Concourse’s gala grand opening was a no-brainer. “Why take a weekend-long event, built over a decade, and have it come three weeks after the big hurrah? This is the inaugural, celebratory moment of our brand-new home. It made every sense in the world.”

Near Reaches

This year’s event comes with an added bonus. In the early 2000s, Makeshift Records regularly showcased new Memphis music with a series of sprawling compilation albums. Earlier this year, Memphis musician Crockett Hall found a copy of one of the Makeshift compilations in a used bin at a record store. When he asked his friends on Facebook about it, a discussion ensued in which people told fond stories of the acts they had discovered from Makeshift.

J.D. Reager, an organizer of Rock for Love (and a Flyer contributor) had been involved in the grassroots label. Since a Rock for Love compilation album had been successful a couple of years ago, and since the last Makeshift compilation release had coincided with the first Rock for Love, maybe it would be a good idea to, as Stockwell says, “gin up the old machine.”

The new Makeshift 6 compilation includes 34 songs by contemporary Memphis artists, ranging from Mark Edgar Stuart’s tight singer/songwriter compositions to Glorious Abhor’s noise punk. Select-O-Hits donated their services, helping make the album a reality, and all of the artists donated tracks to the compilation. “When I listen to this broad swath of Memphis music, I think of how proud I am to be a part of this Memphis music scene,” says Stockwell.

The album will get its official release this Friday, August 18th, the first night of Rock for Love. Artists include Jack Oblivian, Cassette Set, Yesse Yavis, Moon Glimmers, Sweaters Together, the Rough Hearts, and Indeed, We Digress. Al Kapone will be deejaying between sets. “Friday is the Makeshift release show,” says Stockwell, “so we wanted to have as many of those bands as humanly possible.”

Saturday, August 19th, amid all of the other Crosstown opening festivities, Rock for Love acts will be providing music all across the site. The main stage is one of the most diverse lineups in recent memory, beginning with beatbox soulsters Artistik Approach, the Rising Star Drum and Fife Band, Latin big band Melina Almodavar, singer Susan Marshall, and finally Memphis hip-hop superstars 8-Ball and MJG, backed up by Winchester and the Ammunition. Reager says drummer and bandleader Graham Winchester is “very excited about backing up both 8-Ball and Susan Marshall.”

In the atrium at Crosstown will be quieter, acoustic sets, led by Reager and featuring Crockett Hall, Juju Bushman, Mystic Light Casino, and Faith Evans Ruch, among others. That night, the party moves back to the Hi-Tone where Chinese Connection Dub Embassy leads an all-star jam party including Kapone, Tonya Dyson, and Lisa Mac.

Stockwell says the new Church Health facility has energized the whole staff. “There’s so much potential here that we have only started to scratch the surface of.”

10 Years of Rock

Now in its 10th year, Rock for Love has become one of the most successful local music festivals around. The premise is simple: get some of the best local bands together to raise money for the Church Health Center — the largest faith-based health-care organization of its kind in the country. Last year the festival raised $50,000 for the Church Health Center, bringing the total amount raised by Rock for Love over the last decade to more than $250,000.

While each and every band brings something unique to the table, I’ve selected a handful of must-see acts each day at Rock for Love. With breakout stars like Julien Baker alongside local favorites like Mark Edgar Stuart and Star and Micey, the Rock for Love weekend kicks off a spectacular month of Memphis music that includes Cooper-Young Fest and concludes with the 13th annual Goner Fest.

Friday, September 2nd.

Graham Winchester — arguably one of the hardest working men in local music — was tapped to curate night one of Rock for Love at the Hi-Tone. The kick-off show features an all-local lineup of Winchester and the Ammunition, Chickasaw Mound, Mark Edgar Stuart, the Subtractions, J.D. Reager & the Cold-Blooded Three, Faux Killas, Big Baby, Devil Train, and DJ Andrew McCalla. Fun Fact: Each band will only be playing songs that were recorded in Memphis.

All the bands on Friday’s bill are worth checking out — and for only $10 at the door, you should plan on staying the whole time, but you’ll definitely want to get there early to check out opener Mark Edgar Stuart. The singer-songwriter recently released the great “Don’t Blame Jesus” single as a follow up to his excellent 2015 album Trinity My Dear, and national outlets like NPR and Paste Magazine have started to realize what Memphians have known for years — the man can write a damn good folk song.

The Faux Killas play at 10 p.m. on Friday, and their recently released album Time in Between serves as a primer for the Killas’ unpredictable and unruly live shows. Front man Jeremiah Jones has a voice that you won’t soon forget, and his backing band is starting to hit their stride after a couple years of gigging locally. Other Friday night highlights include Devil Train, Chickasaw Mound, and DJ Andrew McCalla. Radio personalities Jon Roser, Chris Vernon, and Gary Parrish will also be inducted into the Rock for Love Hall of Fame.

Saturday, September 3rd.

The second day of Rock for Love offers up a double header, first at Loflin Yard and later at Otherlands Coffee. Loflin Yard will feature Crockett Hall, Summer Avenue, HEELS, and Papa Top’s West Coast Turnaround.  Not to be confused with Southern Avenue (the band that recently signed to Stax / Concord Music Group), Summer Avenue is one of the many up and coming local bands affiliated with Archer Records.

Later on at Otherlands, Me and Leah, the Dead Soldiers, and Julien Baker are set to play. Set times haven’t been announced for the Otherlands show, but it has been confirmed that Baker will play early in the night. With a breakout year in 2015 that made way for festival dates this summer, Baker is far and away the brightest star on the Rock for Love 10 lineup. Given that she’s played major festivals and opened up for some of the biggest bands in her genre, seeing her in an intimate setting like Otherlands should be spectacular.

Sunday, September 4th

The tenth anniversary of Rock for Love concludes on Sunday evening at the Levitt Shell. Like Saturday’s shows, the set times for Sunday haven’t been announced yet, but Amy LaVere, Star and Micey, and Jack Oblivian are all must-see acts. Amy LaVere has had a busy past few months, and there’s really no better way to end a productive summer than with a show at the Shell. Jack Oblivian and the Sheiks also continue their reign of 2016 terror. The band took Europe by storm with newly acquired member Seth Moody, and after releasing the excellent Lone Ranger of Love album, they might just be the best rock-and-roll band in Memphis. Star and Micey have also had a busy year, and the band is a perfect choice to close out the exceptional music weekend known as Rock for Love.

Two Great Beers, Two Great Causes

Church Health Center’s Marvin Stockwell and Citizens to Preserve Overton Park’s Jessica Buttermore enjoy craft brews for a tasty cause.

I’ve heard it said that Memphis is the biggest small town in America. To judge from the beer, I think it might be true. This weekend, Memphis Made Brewing debuted two craft beers, each tied to a local event and an important cause.

The first is Rocket #9, an IPA that will be served over the weekend at Church Health Center’s 9th annual Rock For Love concert series. (click here to see the complete schedule)

Where flavor is concerned, Rocket #9 is understated and oaky. Made with Pacific Gem Hops from New Zealand, it’s a contemplative pale ale with notes from the forest floor. Perfect for a late-night conversation, or unwinding after a punk rock concert. Pezz, anyone?

John Klyce Minervini

Memphis Made’s Rocket #9 IPA will be served this weekend at Rock For Love.

The cause is even tastier. For 28 years, Church Health Center been providing low-cost health and wellness care for the working uninsured. Today, more than 60,000 people in Shelby County are counting on them.

“We’re helping this city get healthy and stay healthy,” says CHC communications director Marvin Stockwell. “And one of the ways we do that is by taking care of Memphis’s hardworking musicians.

“What an amazingly generous group of people,” he continues. “Not to mention, they make the best music in the world. I mean, come on. You can’t go wrong with that.”

This year, in addition to a badass music lineup, Rock For Love will feature a dunk tank, a comedy showcase, and a pop-up fitness park. So drink a beer already! It’s for charity.

The second craft brew is Memphis Made’s Greenswarden. It will be served this Saturday at Get Off Our Lawn’s Party for the Greensward, which features a great lineup of local bands.

Here’s the issue. The City of Memphis allows the zoo to put their overflow parking on the Greensward (the big field in Overton Park, the one by Rainbow Lake). They’ve been doing it for about 20 years. But Citizens to Preserve Overton Park (CPOP)—the group behind Get Off Our Lawn—say they’ve had about enough.

John Klyce Minervini

Memphis Made’s ‘Greenswarden’ hefeweizen will be served at Saturday’s Party for the Greensward.

“It’s public land, and they’re making a profit off it. We think that’s wrong,” says CPOP president Jessica Buttermore. “They’re not planning for their parking needs. Instead, they’re dumping it on the city and the surrounding neighborhood.”

“Our mission is to protect the park,” she continues. “As public land, it should be free for us to use.”

As a hefeweizen, Greenswarden is slightly cloudy with a balanced, fruity flavor. Don’t laugh: at my tasting, we even thought we detected notes of bubblegum. Only we couldn’t decide which one. Bubblicious? Fruit stripe?

“I don’t know if I would go brand-specific,” cautions Memphis Made co-founder Andy Ashby. “I guess I don’t really chew enough gum to pin it down.”

As for Memphis Made, Ashby says brewing beers for important local causes is right in the brewery’s wheelhouse.

“We’re not like these big breweries,” Ashby says. “We can’t make it rain t-shirts and coozies. But one thing we can do is make a beer for a cause we believe in.”

Don’t Be Afraid to Laugh for Love at the Hi-Tone

There are things any rational person should be afraid of. Like Bigfoot. Or those enormous spiders that live under your toilet seat. But there’s no reason in the world to be afraid of comedy. That’s especially true when the funny business is all for a good cause. This month’s ”Don’t Be Afraid of the Comedy” show at the Hi-Tone has been rechristened “Don’t Be Afraid to Laugh for Love.” It’s the official unofficial kickoff for Rock for Love 9, a three-day, multi-venue music festival benefiting the Church Health Center.

”Don’t Be Afraid” host Josh McLane says the Rock For Love tie-in was obvious. The comedy event was already booked for the Thursday night before the festival’s Friday night kickoff, so it was just a matter of putting together a good lineup. “And we’ve done that,” McLane says.

Comics scheduled to appear include McLane’s monthly sidekick Jared Herring, 6′ 2″ funnyman Benny Elbows, Memphis Vine king Christopher Rex, and Black Nerd Power podcaster Richard Douglas Jones, who’ll soon be opening for Patton Oswalt. Memphis Comedy Festival founder Katrina Coleman will also perform.

Eric Huber

Josh McLane

McLane, who’s also a wrestling enthusiast and announcer, says he’s especially excited to have Reggie Junior on the bill. Junior is the son of pro wrestler Reggie B. Fine, and the two comics met when Junior dropped in on a wrestling-themed comedy showcase McLane was hosting called ”October Slam.” So, maybe it’s okay to be at least a little bit afraid?

Rock for Love kicks off Friday night, September 4th, with a Crosstown block party. It moves to Overton Square Saturday and ends Sunday night with a performance by the North Mississippi Allstars at the Levitt Shell.

Music Video Monday: Deering and Down

Today’s Music Video Monday celebrates Rock For Love. 

This weekend, September 3-6, marks the ninth installment of the music festival, which benefits the Church Health Center. 29 fine examples of Memphis music will play at Crosstown and Overton Square, including Jack Oblivian, Nots, Mancontrol Stephen Chopek, Mark Edgar Stuart, Hope Clayburn, and the North Mississippi Allstars. You can see the full lineup here. 

Folk rockers Deering and Down will play Saturday night at Lafayette’s. The dreamy video for “You’re The One” was directed by Matteo Servente. It makes extensive use of projection mapping, a relatively new technique for manipulating video to conform to—or often distort—the surfaces onto which it is projected. The projection mapping used here, which doubles as lighting for Lanna Deering’s ethereal performance, was created by Christopher Reyes.

Labor of Love

Organizers of “Rock for Love 2,” the Church Health Center’s annual benefit show, are anxious to get under way. Despite only going into its second year, the benefit — held Friday and Saturday, August 22nd and 23rd, at the Hi Tone Café — has the energy and potential to become an annual showcase of local music.

And with good reason. The lineup features a cross-section of some of the city’s best hip-hop, garage, and indie-rock acts, including Lord T & Eloise, Al Kapone, and Snowglobe. But the music is only one part of why the benefit’s organizers are so excited.

“It’s all about community,” says J.D. Reager (an occasional Flyer contributor) who, along with Jeff Hulett and Marv Stockwell, founded the benefit and now serve as its coordinators.

All three are local music veterans. Reager plays in Two Way Radio as well as leading his own band, J.D. Reager & the Cold Blooded Three. Hulett is the drummer for Snowglobe as well as the frontman for Jeffrey James & the Haul. Stockwell is a founding member of seminal local hardcore band Pezz.

Sitting down for an interview, the three interrupted each other the way old friends do — laughing and joking and displaying the energy of people who are working hard for something they love.

“I think a lot is coalescing all at once,” says Stockwell, who serves as public relations manager for the Church Health Center. “There’s some alliances forming that maybe haven’t formed until now. I think there’s a new atmosphere of cooperation.”

Reager and Hulett have worked together with Makeshift Music since its inception in the late 1990s, and their dedication to local music has lasted through years of intense work with little compensation along the way.

“We’ve never made a dollar on anything we’ve done, personally or as a company,” Reager says. “Our goal, our mission, is to give a voice to artists who wouldn’t have one otherwise; whatever role we can play, that’s what we try to do.”

Hulett says he and Stockwell were both drawn to the health center’s mission of responding to the need of working Memphians who don’t have health insurance. “I wanted a chance to live out my faith and have a job that inspires me,” Stockwell says.

Recent changes in TennCare are increasing the number of patients at the center. And given the slump in the economy, Stockwell says, “more people are in that unfortunate situation where they’re having to choose between putting food on the table or paying for their health care.”

According to Stockwell, the number of people attending the center’s orientation seminars has doubled and tripled in recent months.

“It’s as common as anything to be uninsured,” Stockwell says.

“The need is great with the Church Health Center,” Hulett says. “We’ve had donors on board since the beginning, but there’s also a need for younger donors and reaching out.”

Snowglobe

“Rock for Love” certainly has made its presence felt within Memphis music circles and the greater community, which Hulett considers one of the benefit’s greatest successes.

“We’ve had several calls from prominent local artists asking, ‘How do I get on the bill?’ We have to tell them sorry. We booked the bill five months ago.”

Sponsorship also is key to this year’s benefit, with SunTrust taking the title position and Ardent Studios, the Memphis Music Commission, and a host of other businesses throughout the community giving as well.

“We’ve raised twice as much money [as last year], and we haven’t even sold ticket one,” Stockwell says.

But perhaps the most noteworthy sign of support is the outpouring of volunteer energy.

“Al Kapone approached us about playing the show,” Reager says. “He heard about the event and called up and said he wanted to play for free.”

“Folks who would love to give money are getting involved in other ways,” Hulett adds.

Each evening will be emceed by local Fox Sports Radio personality (and local music fan) Chris Vernon and WEVL deejay Janet Wilson. Also of note is the artwork donated by Sasha Barr, a Seattle artist long affiliated with Makeshift Music, and a silent auction hosted by the Memphis Roller Derby.

“Seeing the number two on “Rock for Love 2″ is really exciting for me,” Hulett says. “This is going to become an annual event. That’s what we’re planning on.”

Friday night’s lineup features: Lord T & Eloise, Al Kapone, Two Way Radio, J.D. Reager & the Cold Blooded Three, and Vending Machine. Saturday night’s lineup features: Snowglobe, the Coach & Four, Antenna Shoes, Oh No! Oh My!, and Royal Bangs.
