Memphis Tennessee "rocks" in many ways.  Birthplace of Rock & Roll and the home of the  Blues. From Ardent Studios and Stax Museum to Young Avenue Sound and Cotton Row Recordings. Memphis influences Rock, Soul, Rap, Hip-Hop, Gospel, Blues, Country, R&B, and Christian Music all over the world. Memphis music is alive with sounds from historic Beale Street to the Beatlesc freestyle arts-rock comin' out of Cooper & Young (midtown). People visiting Memphis never leave the same! They carry an inexplicable urge to return and be a Memphian again for just a few more days!
