This season Revv52 will celebrate the music of Memphis – the Blues, Soul, Rock, Rockabilly and Gospel. The call and response in the music is alive in each of these styles. It’s the music of the Million Dollar Quartet (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins) and Stax recording artists Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, Booker T and the MG’s, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, and Wilson Pickett.
Memphis is the city where more music has been written about than any other city in the world. The southern dialect, fried chicken and sweet potato pie of soul food, the slow cooked BBQ, the 100 degree heat of summer – are all part of the gumbo mix of music that identifies Memphis. The sites of Memphis – Graceland, Beale Street, Stax and Sun Records, Soul and Rock and Blues museums, the civil rights museum, civil war monuments and historical havens for slaves – flavor the music as well.
