The city of Memphis is pure energy and pure soul. You can hear it in the clubs on Beale Street. Taste it in Memphis back alley barbecue joints and in upscale restaurants. Feel it in the magnetic energy of our world-class events and world-famous attractions. From the King Cotton culture and the deep Delta blues to the legend of the King of Rock and Roll and the civil rights legacies of Martin Luther King, Jr., the city's rich cultural history created the musical soul of Memphis. The Memphis Music unleashes an irresistible vibe of musical prowess from street corner live music performances to downtown Memphis blues clubs. Memphis is the home of the blues, the birthplace of Rock & Roll, the Stax soul legacy and the old stomping grounds of Delta greats Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash and the King himself, Elvis Presley. With those kinds of credentials, it’s easy to see why Memphis music and nightlife is an electrifying experience. If music is the King of Memphis, shopping is the Queen. From downtown to uptown, Memphis antique shops to Memphis malls, shopping reigns supreme. On the flipside, the city’s eccentric shops such as One-of-a-Kind Schwab’s on Beale Street, vintage record stores and other funky finds make Memphis a treasure chest filled with amazing discoveries. Graceland, the former home of Rock 'n' Roll legend Elvis Presley, is one of the most visited houses in the United States (second only to the White House), attracting over 600,000 domestic and international visitors a year. Featured at Graceland are two of Presley's private airplanes, his extensive automobile and motorcycle collection and other Elvis memorabilia. Blues fans can visit Beale Street, where a young B.B. King used to play his guitar. He occasionally still appears there at the club bearing his name, which he partially owns. Street performers play live music, and bars and clubs feature live entertainment around the clock. After visiting Graceland and Beale Street, hit the flipside of Memphis at the W.C. Handy House Museum, Shelby Farms, the largest urban park in the country, or the 'twisted' Ornamental Metal Museum. Additionally there is: National Civil Rights Museum, located in the former Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, Pink Palace, Memphis Walk of Fame, the Memphis Zoo, or the Sun studio, was where Elvis Presley first recorded 'My Happiness' and 'That's When Your Heartaches Begin'. Other famous musicians who got their start at Sun include Johnny Cash, Rufus Thomas, Charlie Rich, Howlin' Wolf, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. After a day of Graceland and Beale Street consider checking out nine innings of action with Memphis Redbirds baseball in the state-of-the-art Autozone Park. Baseball, cold beer and jumbo chili dogs; really, what could be better?

Tennessee is a beautiful state with a rich history dating back over two hundred years from when it joined first joined the Union. Other than Missouri, it borders more states than any other—eight to be exact! The Tennessee River, one of the main topographical features, divides the state into three sections: East, Middle, and West. In the eastern part are Tennessee’s share of the great Appalachian Mountains—home to the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of the most scenic drives in America—and Clingman’s Dome, the highest elevation in the state at over 6,600 feet. Its lowest point is farthest west, at the Mississippi River which separates it from its neighbor, Mississippi. The Middle section is strewn with green valleys separated by woodland ridges and also contains a large plateau region. It’s in this portion of the state where you’ll find Nashville, the state’s capital, which also happens to be the country music capital of the world. But Nashville has more than just country music—other than Austin, TX, Nashville averages more live music venues than any other US city. The western protion of the state is known as the Great Valley, where the ridges are more subdued and valleys become broader. To the far west of this portion of the state you’ll find Memphis, Tennessee’s most populous city, which is always bustling with energy. For sports, there’s Memphis Grizzlies basketball, Tennessee Titans football, Nashville Predators hockey, and plenty of minor league baseball. And of course, Tennessee is also home to the Jack Daniel’s distillery, Dollywood, and the ever-enticing Graceland, home of the King of Rock himself, Elvis Presley.
