GET IN THE RHYTHM OF MEMPHIS & NASHVILLE
America’s Music Cities
Memphis really needs no introduction. It is the famous Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock ‘N’ Roll. This vibrant city has been home to such legendary artists as B.B. King, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. A city tour is an ideal way to become familiar with Memphis’ historical and cultural roots – and be sure not to miss famous Beale Street, where dozens of bars and clubs feature live music.
When in Memphis, one must also take a tour of Graceland. Once the home of Elvis, the Graceland mansion illuminates his life, career and interests. Explore the mansion with a self-guided audio tour that features stories and commentary from Elvis and his daughter, Lisa Marie. Walk through the grand home’s many rooms, including the Polynesian-style jungle room where the family liked to relax. Step outside to see the house where Elvis’ father had his office and managed his famous son’s career. Then take in Elvis’ many awards in the Trophy Building, followed by a walk through the Racquetball Building where his stage outfits are on exhibit. Wrap up the Graceland Mansion tour in the Meditation Garden where Elvis and his family have been laid to rest, and stroll along a tree-lined street to check out more than 20 vehicles at the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum, including his famous pink Cadillac.
Nashville is another highlight on a Southern journey. This is Music City. It’s in this small, powerful community where Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash performed, eventually escalating to stardom. You will undoubtedly be astounded by the musical talent on display as you visit the Country Music
Hall of Fame and Museum. The world’s largest popular music museum offers ever-changing exhibits featuring the legends of country music past and today’s hottest stars.
A sightseeing excursion of Nashville might include Music Row, home of RCA Studio B, the
famous recording studio where Elvis recorded over 200 songs. Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, Chet Atkins and many more have recorded classic hits here.
From downtown Nashville, take a shuttle to
the Fontenal Mansion, once the home of Barbara Mandrell and Ken Dudney. Set on 136 acres of lush forestland, this 27,000-square-foot log home now serves as an interactive country music tourism experience.
When you’ve had enough touring, head over to Opry Mills for some shopping. This is the largest outlet site in the state of Tennessee.
