WINNER OF THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS CONTEST MEMPHIS ITINERARY Put on your blue suede shoes and board the plane to Memphis, Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll! Touch down in the land of the Delta Blues and roll around the river city with a first class ticket to experience Memphis and its famed music attractions including Graceland, Soulsville USA: Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, Gibson Guitar Factory, Center for Southern Folklore, and of course all the clubs and bars on Beale Street. Party on Beale Street every night before heading back to your Memphis hotel, Marriott Downtown. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Memphis skyline as you bask in the shadow of the Pyramid located on the Mississippi River. But, no music tour of Memphis would be complete without visiting the actual birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, Sun Studio. Not only will you have the chance to tour the legendary studio, but you will also be amongst legendary artists Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ike Turner, U2, Matchbox 20 and more as you receive an exclusive recording session at the studio! The sun never sets at Sun Studio and the weekend will keep on rockin’. Before the fireworks light the downtown sky on July 4th, join us at Sun Studio for an Artist Rehearsal Party at 7:00 p.m. where you will meet and greet musicians like Scotty Moore, Billy Lee Riley, Billy Bob Thornton and more. After the party, enjoy the clubs on Beale you missed the night before, but make sure you don’t dance too hard and miss the action on July 5th. That’s when the fireworks really go off! On July 5, 2016, you will be one of many bands that will grace the stages in front of screaming fans on Sam Phillips Boulevard outside of Sun Studio in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Rock ‘n’ Roll. In addition to the performances at Sun, you will also have a backstage pass to meet and greet the Memphis Music Ambassadors, Isaac Hayes, Scotty Moore, Sam Samudio and Justin Timberlake, and witness the Global Moment in Time, the simultaneous broadcast of “That’s All Right” on radio stations around the world. So do a little number and sing with all your might…you’re getting ready to head to Memphis for the flight of your life!
