Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

Reigning Sound formed in Memphis in 2001, spearheaded by Greg Cartwright. Known for fusing gritty garage rock with soulful R&B influences, the band carved out a distinct sound rooted in the Memphis scene. While their studio albums and frequent live performances earned them a dedicated following, the group’s most recent era highlighted intimate, rootsy performances with a Memphis-based lineup culminating in the 2021 Merge release and the 2022 Memphis in June live album.
