Tour this National Historic Landmark building where the blending of blues and country music came together in the big bang of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Experience outtakes from different recording sessions, touch Elvis' first microphone, stand in the very spot where Elvis first recorded, see the priceless 50’s memorabilia and hear the real history of the studio that launched Elvis Presley, among others, to fame. Allow 60 – 90 minutes for the complete experience as you will need time to take pictures and visit the Sun Studio Soda Shop and Record Store. While in the area, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Historic Beale Street.
