Memphis

Gutsy guitar riffs and heart-numbing blues belt out and travel like electricity through the streets. Perched on the Mississippi River, Memphis was named for the ancient Egyptian capital on the Nile. The city still largely rests on the musical glory of its past but its current local scene also has much to offer.
