SUMMARY:"The President's Own" Marine Band
DESCRIPTION:Tickets available September 5\, 2025\nEstablished by an Act of Congress in 1798\, the United States Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. Its mission is unique—to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.\nPresident John Adams invited the Marine Band to make its White House debut on New Year’s Day\, 1801\, in the then-unfinished Executive Mansion. In March of that year\, the band performed for Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration and it is believed that it has performed for every presidential inaugural since. In Jefferson\, the band found its most visionary advocate. An accomplished musician himself\, Jefferson recognized the unique relationship between the band and the Chief Executive and he is credited with giving the Marine Band its title\, “The President’s Own.”\nThe Marine Band’s integral role in the national culture and in the government’s official life has affirmed the importance of the arts as a bridge between people. Since 1798\, the Marine Band’s mission has been to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. As the only musical organization with that mission\, the Marine Band looks to the future\, viewing its history and tradition as the foundation upon which to build its third century of bringing music to the White House and to the American people.  \nEvent Location: 502 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy\, Maryville\, TN\, United States\, Tennessee 37804

SUMMARY:One Night in Memphis - #1 Tribute to Presley\, Perkins\, Lewis\, and Cash
DESCRIPTION:“One Night in Memphis” honors a night in rock and roll history that still lives on today. On December 4th\, 1956\, Carl Perkins\, along with his brothers Clayton and Jay booked a recording session at Sam Phillips Sun Records studio in Memphis\, TN. Carl was to record an old blues song called\, “Matchbox” that the Beatles were to cover as well years later. On the session along with Carl was one of Sam Phillips latest acquisitions to his stable of acts\, a young and cocky piano player from Ferriday\, Louisiana by the name of Jerry Lee Lewis. Not too long after they got a satisfactory take\, Elvis Presley dropped by (a big star already) and listened in. Johnny Cash dropped by as well. A jam session then ensued and the engineer that day\, Jack Clement kept the tape rolling without the knowledge of anyone.\nThe jam session went on for quite a while and at some point during the session Sam Phillips called the Memphis Press Scimitar newspaper and they came by towards the end and shot some photos of it. An Article appeared the next day about the memorable occasion under the headline of “Million Dollar Quartet.” What survives today is a recording of an event that is a momentous eavesdropping on American recording artist icons in their prime; Elvis Presley\, Carl Perkins\, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all having the time of their life singing country\, gospel and rock and roll songs. It’s a fascinating glimpse of rock and roll in its infancy and shows what these legends all shared in common; growing up in the south and singing gospel music in church. You can also hear a camaraderie between major music stars in their prime\, something that is rare in today’s music business.\n“One Night in Memphis” was created in 2012 by John Mueller\, well known for his long running and successful “Winter Dance Party\, tribute to Buddy Holly\, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper.”  \nEvent Location: 502 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy\, Maryville\, TN\, United States\, Tennessee 37804
