One Night in Memphis, the official and number one tribute to Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash will be appearing live at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts at Northeast Texas Community College on Monday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m.
One Night in Memphis features over 90 minutes of pure rockabilly, country, gospel and rock and roll in a very authentic and energetic presentation featuring nationally known talent. The show recreates that magical night of December 4th, 1956 when Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash found themselves jamming at Sam Phillip’s Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. Little did they know that their jam session was being recorded and preserved for all time, representing all the performers in their prime and the very best music of that time.
“This show is made up of phenomenal musicians that do an excellent job of transporting you back to that night in 1956. It will be a fun night for singing along to some of the biggest hits from that time period,” Carolyn Franks, Director of the Whatley Center, said.
One Night in Memphis is created and directed by John Mueller from the highly acclaimed show “Winter Dance Party” and has met with the same accolades and audience standing ovations. The San Francisco Examiner raves, “An Amazing Show!”
The NTCC performance is sponsored by Drs. Mary White and Brad Scharf.
