Cameron Bethany cherishes music like a childhood wonder stashed in a treasure box hidden somewhere between a voice trained in the church, a heart pained by repression, and a soul straining to fly free. He brings the new Memphis sound to the Pure Memphis Music Series May 10.
Doors open at 6:30pm. Music Starts promptly at 7:30pm.
The Pure Memphis Music Series is made possible thanks to The Downtown Memphis Commission.
