Sun Rising - The Birth of Rock & Roll
Friday 27 March 11:00am
Elvis
Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Rufus
Thomas Jr., Howlin’ Wolf, Barbara Pittman and many more all had
one thing in common. They launched their careers at the world-famous Sun
Records Company in Memphis, Tennessee.
Sun Rising is the
critically acclaimed, five-star production that brilliantly relives the
legendary music and stories from the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll. Fully
endorsed by Sam Phillips’ family, this electrifying show re-creates the
sound, spirit and raw energy of Sun’s early years, celebrating the songs
that made Memphis.
For more than a decade, Sun Rising has
captivated audiences across Australia with world-class musicianship,
humour and heart. Featuring Damon Smith’s blazing piano and vocals, Adrian
Whyte’s jaw-dropping guitar work, Trent McKenzie’s slaptastic upright
bass, Cosma’s smooth croon and unique guitar style, and the dazzling Lisa
Marmur honouring Sun’s pioneering female artists, this is no ordinary
tribute. It is a living, breathing celebration of the moment music changed
forever.
Prepare to be transported to 706 Union Avenue and
