Event Details

Sun Records was the home of the biggest names in Rock and Roll. From Elvis Presley to Jerry Lee Lewis, this small studio in Memphis, Tennessee gave rise to legends of American music. Under the guidance of founder Sam Philips, Sun Records also gave artists like B.B. King, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins their big breaks when no other label would. In this lecture/concert, the lecturer will tell the stories of Sun Records’ biggest artists and perform some of their most memorable hits. Presenter, Dr. Tom Rizzuto, teacher of The History of Rock & Roll at Molloy College
