“One Night in Memphis,” the official and number one tribute to Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash will be appearing live at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University - Tuscarawas on Tuesday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m.
“One Night in Memphis” features over 90 minutes of rockabilly, country, gospel and pure 1950’s rock and roll music in a very authentic and energetic presentation featuring nationally known talent. The show recreates that magical night of December 4th, 1956 when Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash found themselves jamming at Sam Phillip’s Sun Studios in Memphis, TN.

The San Francisco Examiner raves, “An Amazing Show!”
