Overview

  • The Mojo Tour is a unique, high-energy musical tour of Memphis, a city that’s given the world three great genres of popular music: blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and sweet Southern soul. Led by professional Beale Street musicians and featuring live music, comedy, history, and storytelling, the tour brings this famed musical heritage to life on the nation’s only music bus.

    Along the way you’ll see such famous landmarks as Sun Studio, Beale Street, Stax Studio, the Lorraine Motel, Cotton Row, Peabody Hotel, Overton Park, and the early homes of Elvis and B.B. King. It’s no accident that legends like Elvis, Johnny Cash, BB King and Otis Redding all got their start in the city known as the Home of the Blues: find out how it all went down on this entertaining tour of Memphis’ greatest hits.
