Sun Rising – The Songs That Made Memphis
Dive into the label responsible for the King, the Man in Black and more.
Overview
In the '50s and '60s, Sun Records' name proved rather appropriate. Everything shone brightly at the little label from Memphis, Tennessee, which boasted some of music's biggest names on its roster. Think Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison — and yes, that's just the beginning.
Indeed, Sun's founder Sam Phillips had a knack for spotting talent and the stories to prove it, with both informing Sun Rising – The Songs That Made Memphis. In fact, there are so many tales and tunes at the heart of this rock 'n' roll cabaret that you're not just seeing a show — you're getting a musical history lesson.
This is one of our five top picks from this year's Queensland Cabaret Festival. Read the full list.
