Whole Lot of Shakin’…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for a night of rockabilly, country, gospel and pure 1950’s rock and roll with One Night in Memphis this Sunday night at The Niswonger. This high-energy concert takes you back to December 4, 1956, the night when four of the biggest names in early rock and roll, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash, gathered together for an impromptu jam session at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created and directed by John Mueller from the highly acclaimed show, Winter Dance Party, which played at The Niswonger in February of 2020 to a nearly sold-out crowd and standing ovations. One Night In Memphis gets off to a rocking start with Carl Perkins performing hits like \u201cHoney Don\u2019t,\u201d \u201cBrown-Eyed Handsome Man,\u201d and \u201cBlue Suede Shoes,\u201d while offering up anecdotes about life as a sharecroppers\u2019 son and his musical influences. Midway through his set, Carl invites session musician Jerry Lee Lewis to join him and he seizes the opportunity to front the band and lead the audience on a musical journey from New Orleans to Nashville and eventually into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
