Mayhem in Memphis: A Memorial Celebration of Life for John Larkin

Friends and musicians from across the country come together and jam out in the name of our late friend, John Larkin.

A lifelong activist, stagehand, carpenter, stonemason, and hippie, John Larkin, has made his mark in Memphis history through his passion, bringing community leaders from across the world to save the Levitt Shell from destruction in his time as stage manager. He was a beloved member of our community and supported so many artists, musicians, and people fallen on hard times.

In the name of John Larkin, his friends invite you to jam out with us at our FREE EVENT with performances from FreeWorld, Devil Train, Nancy Apple, Spaceman’s Dead Friends, Lorette Velvette, Jason Freeman, Kaya and the Welders, and community speakers!

Let’s come together to celebrate a life well lived, connect with our neighbors, and jam out like the old days! All are welcome to attend, even if you never met John, there’s no shame in coming out to enjoy a free show.

We will miss you and keep you in our hearts forever, man. Keep John’s memory alive and do good recklessly!
