What an exciting weekend on The Tennessee Music Highway! According to published reports, Prince William and Prince Harry visited Graceland, the long- time home of the King of Rock-n-Roll, Elvis on Friday. The two Royals, were in Memphis for the wedding on Saturday, of long-time friend Guy Pelly and Elizabeth Wilson (Memphis native and Holiday Inn heiress) They were joined by cousins, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie. The wedding which took place at the Memphis Hunt and Polo Club included wedding reception entertainment by the Jimmy Church Band. A great Tennessee music group, I have had the pleasure to enjoy . And if you haven't visited Graceland, plan a daytrip, it is ALWAYS fun. For more on Graceland visit the official website via our web menu.
Of course, many of you enjoyed the annual Beale Street Music Fest, Memphis in May, 2014! What a fantastic lineup, as always. Three great days of great music, just winding down tonight! I have always enjoyed the trip to the Fest over the years! The weather was especially accommodating for all of the outdoor music events this weekend.
And, heading on down the Highway to Jackson, Tennessee, (the home of Mr. Blue Suede Shoes, Carl Perkins for so many years), we were especially happy to see the Amphitheater at the Farmers Market debut on Friday night! Reports estimate the crowd at nearly 1,000 fans who came out to enjoy the music of Ash Bowers! Ash, the former lead singer of Forty5South, put on a great show (as always). We have followed his music over the years and he is a talented artist and song writer, not to mention a wonderful family man! Take note, the Kimberlie Helton Band will perform at the Amp this Friday, May 9th around 7:30 pm! We have also watched Kimberlie progress over the years and her talent is amazing.
And, not to be forgotten on down the Highway, this weekend, in Nashville, it sounds like many of you enjoyed the Lana Del Rey performance at The Ryman! She is such a talented artist and songwriter! Be sure to check out the lineup for The Ryman this year. There is not a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are wonderful. You can feel the wonderful history of this great building as soon as you take your seat!
Thanks to all of you for your imput and information! We are making progress on your requests for print copies and visuals, as we continue to provide information on The Tennessee Music Highway.
