It was an historic and magical night on December 4, 1956 when Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash found themselves jamming at the legendary Sam Phillip’s Sun Studio in Memphis. Perkins was cutting a record that afternoon; Phillips had brought in new Sun signee Lewis to add keyboard; Elvis, who had moved on to RCA after his Ed Sullivan appearance, was making a courtesy call; and Cash just dropped by. Little did these emerging superstars, all in their pristine early prime, realize this pick-up jam session was being recorded and preserved forever as some of the very best music of that time.
ONE NIGHT IN MEMPHIS recreates this accidental yet legendry jam session, and is the nation’s number one tribute show to Presley, Perkins, Lewis and Cash. The show features over 90 minutes of pure rockabilly, country, gospel and rock and roll in an authentic and energetic presentation featuring nationally known talents in the lead rolls — including Brandon Bennett in the Elvis role which he played over a 5-year run of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ in Chicago, and Blair Carman, the only Jerry Lee Lewis tribute performer invited to play at the 75th birthday party at the Killer’s home in Louisiana.
Countless hits over the careers of Presley, Perkins, Lewis and Cash made all four American music icons.
Anticipating the broad and enthusiastic appeal for this high-powered show, The Ritz booked two MEMPHIS
performances. The evening’s all-American music features hits like Blue Suede Shoes, Folsom Prison Blues,
Great Balls of Fire, Whole Lotta Shaking Going On, Shake Rattle and Roll, Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog and
dozens more. What a night at The Ritz to relive the memories!
