SUN RECORDS - THE CONCERT
On July 18, 1953, Presley first walked through the doors of
the Memphis Recording Service at the Sun Record Company, now commonly known as
Sun Records, paid $3.98 and recorded a double-sided demo acetate, ‘My
Happiness’ and ‘That’s When Your Heartaches Begin’. The rest became Rock’n’Roll
history!
Revisit the blessed recording studio and the legendary
record label that brought you Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy
Orbison, Carl Perkins, Rufus Thomas and scores more rockin’ pioneers, as they
once again come to life live on stage.
The distinctive sound we know and love today was crafted
from gospel, blues, hillbilly, country, boogie and western swing by musical
visionary Sam Phillips. From his
trailblazing Memphis studio, Sam Phillips brought us That’s Alright Mama, Great
Balls of Fire, I Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin’, Bear Cat, Blue Suede
Shoes, Good Rockin’ Tonight. . . among hundreds of hits that would influence
the world of music for generations to come. Sam transcended musical and racial
barriers and under his guidance, the ‘Sun Sound’ was born.
Featuring musical instruments of the era, starring a
multi-talented cast of singers and a supporting cast of amazing musicians, the
sound of Sun is brought to life live on stage in the official concert show that
takes you back to the birthplace of rock’n’roll.
Supported and endorsed by The Sun Entertainment Corporation,
USA – long live rock’n’roll. . . long live Sun!
