Music and Memphis go Hand in Hand
June 1st, 2008
Memphis is the home of great music. Whether you are talking about the legendary Elvis Presley or blues and gospel singers, they have all played in Memphis. Elvis not only played in Memphis, but lived in Graceland right outside the city limits. Elvis Presley Boulevard is where you can find his estate. Take a tour through his home and see how he lived. You will certainly see that he lived like a king. After touring his mansion, visit the Mediation Garden to pay your respects to Elvis and his family. This is where they have been put to rest. Thousands visit every year to say their goodbyes.
Memphis in May is where you should head to next. Plan your trip accordingly so you can be here when some of the best blues acts perform. Walk down Beale Street, a major historical landmark, and learn all about the history of Memphis musicians. The Beale Street Music Festival, also known as Memphis in May has been known to have many legendary musicians perform, including BB King and James Brown. Check your schedule to see who is playing this year. You won’t want to miss it. Don’t forget the Juneteenth Music Festival in June.
