Josh Cosby took a spin on his bike to Crosstown Concourse to check out Crafts & Drafts, the Memphis Flyer’s Fall gathering that features brews, arts and crafts, and food trucks.
The Star & Micey singer, who released a music video today (November 15th), was impressed with the event held Saturday, November 13th.
“First off, I just happened upon it,” Cosby says. “I didn’t know what was planned. And I was blown away by the artists, all the people with their crafts. They had so much amazing stuff. I wanted to spend a lot of money there, but I don’t have any. I’m an artist. I’m broke, too.
“And I loved the beer. It was amazing. You get a little buzz. You loosen up. It was good to run into a lot of people from the community that I knew there. A lot of folks from the scene were around there, which is nice.”
Cosby released his music video for his solo project.
“It’s called ‘Black Bettie.’ It was filmed in a 100-year-old church building. On the fourth floor. With asbestos and lead peeling off the wall. In Memphis.
“‘Black Bettie’ is named after my 17-year-old dog that passed away. It’s just an outlet for me to release songs that are kind of from my heart that you can’t fit into the band. Star & Micey is a little more upbeat. Friends and family. These are songs straight from my heart that might be kind of sad. It’s an outlet for me to let go of personal stuff.”
Star & Micey is still around, but, Cosby says, “We don’t do much because we’re all so old and it’s hard for us to get together.”
He released his EP solo project, Black Bettie, last year. “Lately, I’ve just been doing singles. And I’ll put a video to the single. This is the second single in a series.”
