Celebrating the golden era of Memphis as a music Mecca, Carla Thomas—the Queen of Memphis Soul, is joined by Eric Gales and legends of STAX and Hi Records from their 1960s & 1970s heyday.

Step into the heart of Memphis soul with this powerhouse ensemble of iconic musicians who shaped the sound of American popular music. Led by STAX Records legend Carla Thomas and the legendary Hi Rhythm Section—the band behind Al Green’s timeless hits—this revue brings together GRAMMY-winning talents for an unforgettable celebration of rhythm and soul.

In this year marking B.B. King's centenary, we celebrate Memphis as a music Mecca, and the legends from iconic American record labels, STAX and Hi Records.

Experience a high-energy night of unstoppable grooves, soaring vocals, and infectious Memphis rhythms. With vocalist Jerome Chism, singer Acantha Lang, renowned blues guitar great Eric Gales, GRAMMY-winning producer Boo Mitchell, and Take Me to the River creator Martin Shore, this concert revives the raw energy of the originals.
