Sun Records was more than just a recording studio; it was the birthplace of rock, country, blues, and gospel. Sam Phillips’s commitment to innovation and willingness to embrace new sounds opened the door for countless artists who would go on to leave their own indelible mark on music history.

Sun Records Live is a celebration of this rich musical heritage. Audiences will experience live renditions of the greatest hits from Sun’s most iconic artists, including Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock,” Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” and Lewis’s “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.” The show also weaves together multimedia elements that tell the stories behind these legendary songs, offering a glimpse into the artistry and personalities of the musicians who created them.
