About Us

Since May of 2021, ShotGlass Hour has been home to artists as well as connoisseurs of the arts. SGH is a vibe-filled experience that gives artists a safe space to express themselves through music, other artistic gifts, massage therapy, poetry, live painting, and of course drinks!!! Serving hundreds in the Whitehaven community and beyond, we pride ourselves on not only feeding souls through the arts, but also through food served by our partnership with Smooth Living, one of the few black-owned, health food restaurants in the city of Memphis. SGH is hosted every third Wednesday at Smooth Living Health Food Restaurant(Whitehaven). Past guests that have graced our stage include Bird Williams, Carla Barnes, Chinese Connection Dub Embassy and other amazing local artists.

 ShotGlass Hour is an event presented by Pest Productions which is a entertainment company & record label that has a unique dynamic in putting together events and shows. Presenting events like SGH opened up opportunities for us such as allowing us to become the official managing company for the Tri- State Black Pride Music Festival held at the Overton Park Shell. It is a part of a week-long stream of events put on by the LGBT+ community in the Memphis area held in mid June. The festival gives a platform to the creatives of the LGBT+ that allows them to open for B and A list Artists . Last year we had over 800 attendees who came to see the Rap Artist Trina.
