MADE IN MEMPHIS - OPEN HOUSE

Stax Records, Soul, and The Black Artists Who Started A Sound Revolution
​​

The legend of Stax Records and the fervent period of creation that led to the signature Memphis Sound defining the soul genre in American music.​

 

MUSE/IQUE’s Open House is FREE to attend to the public.

​​

In the neighborhood nicknamed “Soulsville,” legendary artists and record producers dared to change everything. In 1950s Memphis, Stax Records smashed racial barriers, integrated their staff, and created space for a more equal and collaborative way of making art.

​​

Join MUSE/IQUE for this quintessential American story of how soul music produced by studios like Stax and Sun Records became a powerful form of self-expression that amplified the resilience, aspirations, and hope of the Black community. From the music of Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, Sam & Dave, and more, we celebrate the vital soul hits that supercharged the civil rights movement and captured the spirit of a new generation.​
