On Saturday, May 17th, Albert Music Hall proudly presents a special “Made in Memphis Show.” This tribute honors the musical heartbeat of Memphis—a city that helped reshape American music from the 1950s through the 1970s and gave rise to some of the nation’s most legendary sounds and artists.

Building on the excitement of last year’s Elvis Show at the Hall, this year’s show broadens its spotlight to capture a wider spectrum of Memphis’s rich musical heritage. Audiences will hear songs from icons like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Otis Redding.
With the spirit of Memphis as its guide, this high-energy evening will feature performances by Piney Blues, Redbird, Ryan Gregg & Greg McGarvey, The Bluefins, Basement Musicians, and Billy Penn & The Inside Drivers—all delivering Memphis-inspired music with a distinct Pinelands flair.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in true Memphis style—think rockabilly cool, and retro ‘50s and ‘60s flair! Break out the leather jackets, vintage dresses, cat-eye sunglasses, pompadours, and fedoras. Whether you're channeling Elvis, Johnny Cash, or your own inner Memphis legend, come ready to celebrate in style and add to the immersive spirit of the evening!
