AT THE WHITE HOUSE
MEMPHIS SOUL
THURSDAY, APRIL 17 @ 7:00PM
“In Performance at the White House: Memphis Soul” will honor the memorable soul sounds from the mid- to late-1960s that came from Memphis, Tennessee and legendary labels like Stax-Volt Records, that featured artists such as Al Green, Mavis Staples, Ben Harper, Alabama Shakes and many more. The evening pays homage to Memphis, a segregated city in the 1960s where many whites and blacks nonetheless came together to make soulful music, a mix of gospel and potent rhythmic grooves – known today as “Memphis Soul.” Airs on MCPTV 26.1 tonight!
