Live Music

Memphis [1] may be the birthplace of the blues, but there’s a lot more to the music scene than that. It’s true that you can catch live blues at a Beale Street [2] nightclub or in a city juke joint [3]. But you can also find hard-edge rock [4], jazz [5], and acoustic music most nights of the week.

The best resource for up-to-date entertainment listings is the free weekly Memphis Flyer (www.memphisflyer.com [6]), which comes out on Wednesday and includes a detailed listing of club dates and concerts.

Keep in mind that big-name artists often perform at casinos in Tunica, just over the state line in Mississippi. Many of these shows are advertised in Memphis [1] media outlets, or check out the upcoming events on the Tunica Convention and Visitors Bureau website, www.tunicamiss.com [7].
