    Memphis is truly the cultural crossroads of the nation, and nowhere can you better experience the city and its rich musical heritage than from a seat on the Backbeat Bus. You'll ride in vintage style, see the sights of historic Bluff City and learn the story of the "Memphis Sound" - while hearing the music performed live!

    From Beale Street's vibrant blues to the rockin' rythyms of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash . . . From the stirring gospel heritage of the churches to the captivating grooves of Soulsville USA . . . you'll hear it all LIVE in a completely one-of-a-kind show on wheels. There's as much happening inside the Backbeat bus as outside - so get ready to shake, rattle and roll!
