Located on the western edge of Tennessee along the banks of the Mississippi River, Memphis hosts a greater metro area of over 1.2 million people. Home to an active and vibrant music scene, Memphis’ contribution to the music industry cannot be overstated, being widely accepted as the birthplace both of the blues and rock & roll. The historic Sun Records (where Elvis and Johnny Cash both got their start) still stands at 706 Union Avenue, and live Memphis Blues can still be heard nightly in the venues along Beale Street. Not limited to blues and rock, the Memphis scene has contributed to a wide range of genres: rockabilly, gospel, country, western swing, punk, hip-hop, and R&B all have a presence here. Famous musicians with ties to Memphis (besides Johnny Cash and Elvis) include B.B. King, Al Green, Justin Timberlake, Ike Turner and a host of others.
Today, the Memphis music scene continues to be strong and active with plenty of venues and recording studios to accommodate bands and artists. If you are considering a career in audio as a recording engineer, live audio engineer or music producer, Memphis holds plenty of opportunity for you to learn.
With the right experience and connections, you can jumpstart your career in the music industry.
