SEE WHERE IT ALL STARTED…

Experience the spaces where Elvis Presley forever changed the world of live rock and roll, where The Allman Brothers Band relaxed with Sweet Connie & Friends, and where Furry Lewis egged on newcomers ZZ Top to rock The Shell all night long.

The Connie Abston Archive & History Exhibition is curated through the support of the children of Connie Abston in honor of her long association with this historic venue. The Backstage Experience Tour presented by Huey’s covers Midtown Memphis’s deep live music history - from the W.C. Handy days to the amazing ‘modern’ music still happening at this historic venue today.
