In the 1950s, country music artists began experimenting with a new style of music, adding a driving beat to classic lyrics and writing songs that spoke to the youth of America. Artists like Elvis Presley, Conway Twitty, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis were at the forefront of this movement, and the iconic Sun Studios in Memphis became the birthplace of rockabilly music. This show is a tribute to those pioneers of early rock 'n roll. $15, $12 students, seniors and military, $5 ages 12 and younger.
