Sun Studio Gets The Rock and Roll Mood Right On

Mention “rock and roll” and almost immediately, you can list out legends like Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, “Rockin’ Robin” Roberts, and yes, even the forever loved, “The King” – Elvis Presley too! Memphis bus charter passengers who also are diehard fans of the Rock and Roll era will never fail to make a visit to the Sun Studio in Memphis to tour the place where it all began for Elvis Presley as well as many other popularly knows rock and roll singers those days.

Originally known as the Memphis Recording Service and later its name was changed to the Sun Studio, the building was a recording studio that was founded by Sam Phillips in 1950 and at that same time, Sun Studio also shared the building with the Sun Records label. When you arrive at the main entrance of the Sun Studio in the Memphis charter bus, you will quickly notice that it looks like a rather old building with colorful neon lights signage on the glass windows. Having been around since 1950, surely the building can’t look any “newer” than it did then.

The rather “old” looking building makes it even more authentic and definitely will bring back lots of nostalgic memories of the diehard fans of rock and roll. Don’t be surprised if you see Memphis bus charter passengers bringing out their cameras and start snapping away as soon as they get down from the bus. Nothing beats bringing home memories in the cameras to keep for many years to come and share the memories with others.

Upon entering the Sun Studio, be prepared to be taken back to the era of rock and roll with all the displays and exhibits there. Stand on the very same spot where Elvis did when he was recording, check out the piano where Jerry Lee Louis made a burnt cigar mark, and hold the microphones that the super stars used to pose for photos. When you are inside the studio, unless you don’t mind waiting, you may want to stand up further at the front if you intend to take some good photo shots of the place. The whole guided tour in the Sun Studio would take about an hour and after that, guests are welcomed to visit their gift shop to bring home with them some items for keepsakes before they climb back onto their waiting Memphis chartered bus.
