Inspired by the legendary DJ Dewey Phillips and real life events in 1950’s Tennessee, Memphis transports audiences to the underground clubs where rock & roll was born! When Huey Calhoun, a white disc jockey, discovers Felicia Farrell, a black club singer, ready to make her break, he pursues putting her on the radio against all odds. In a journey filled with turbulence, laughs, and love, Huey manages to remind Felicia and the world, music transcends all. Whether Memphis is ready for good music or not, everything is about to change forever.
