South Main Sounds : Meet Me in Memphis A Place to Catch Stars on the Rise.


                                  

   I made a post on my +Instagram page  (IG:harvtography)in which I state that I have had the pleasure to shoot two different artist +Angie Keilhauer  and Chris Johnson of +AF BAND   who both in just the third month of this calender year, have both have been on two different television networks (Johnson on +Fox Network  and Keilhauer on +NBC ) on two different singing competitions ( +American Idol -Johnson and +The Voice -Keilhauer), what are the odds?? Well its not so much odds than it is opportunity and that is something I have had a lot of thanks to South Main Sounds "Meet Me in Memphis.



  When a lot of people think about downtown Memphis and music they mainly relate it to Elvis, Sun Studios, and Beale Street. But what you should add to the list is The South Main Arts District. I first found this out via something called Trolley Night. On the last Friday of the month, its like a huge outdoor block party with vendors stores to travel up and down , in and out, live music and musicians playing and when the original trolleys were running you could ride one for free and view areas, drink and converse. One the far end of the Arcade Restaurant, there a small building with a mannequin  in the window (South Main Sally). Thats 550 South Main.



  550 South Main is a building with a small stage, theater  chairs and a chance for local musicians to shine. All performers take turns in "rounds" of three or four ORIGINAL  songs..No COVERS!!!

  1. That is really kind of you to write that, Jody. You have seen it from the first day, and you have seen how and why it was done the way it was, and I agree, that while we have no part in the rise of these people, it is a certainty that if you play at South Main Sounds and you do well, you are much more likely to shine when the time comes to make or break. Glad to have you as a part of our thing we do.
