Blues. Folk. Soul. Funk. Rock. Jazz. Hip-Hop. Gospel. Rap. Yeah, we’ve got rhythm.
MEMPHIS IS HOME of the blues, Beale Street, the birthplace of Rock & Roll, the Stax soul legacy and the old stomping grounds of Delta greats Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Isaac Hayes and the King himself, Elvis Presley.
With that kind of legacy, it’s no wonder why new Memphis talent has emerged to redefine our city as today’s Ground Zero for live American music. Bring your camera – and your guitar. From huge outdoor stages showcasing the world’s top bands and artists, to small, intimate sing-along coffee houses – you never know who you’ll see, or hear, in Memphis.
