Sun Records: The Concert

On July 18th 1952, Presley first walked through the doors of the Memphis Recording Service at the Sun Record Company, now commonly known as Sun Records, paid four dollars and recorded a double sided demo, 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 musical greats like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Rufus Thomas and scores more rockin’ pioneers.

The distinctive sound we know and love today was crafted from a mix of gospel, blues, hillbilly, country, boogie, western swing by a musical visionary Sam Phillips. From his trailblazing Memphis studio, Sam Phillips brought tracks like 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. Transcending musical barriers and instigating the birth of ‘Sun Sound.’
