Fourth Annual Alex Chilton Birthday Bash

After recording smash hit "The Letter" with the Box Tops at just 16, Alex Chilton went on to front influential Memphis power-pop group Big Star. The latter band name would prove prophetic as Chilton grew to towering stature in American pop, lionized in song by the Replacements and revered by innumerable others. Tonight, a dozen bands assemble to celebrate the musical legacy of a man whose winsome charm remains an inspiration for songsmiths with something to say.
