Sun Studio Ranks Third on Trip Advisor’s Top 10 List

MEMPHIS, Tennessee – The iconic Sun Studio has been recognized by Trip Advisor as the third top tourist destination in the nation today.

“We welcome visitors from all around the globe, it’s an incredible tale. People are deeply affected by this location; you have to consider what has emerged from here,” said Mark Stuart, a tour guide at Sun Studio.

This is truly the starting point for music and blues, and the origin of rock and roll; this is where it all began. The impact here is unmatched.

Although the memorabilia ranging from guitars to photographs is remarkable, Stuart mentioned that being in the room where music icons such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley achieved fame remains ever-engaging.

“Being in the real room where all those guys recorded it never loses its appeal, and I don’t treat it lightly. There’s truly something unique about it; the studio is mostly original. We repaint it every 10 years or so, but that’s just the ceiling tiles and other elements. It has a special atmosphere,” Stuart said.

And for those considering a tour, Mark invited you to come on down.

“It’s essential to visit Sun Studio, the home of Sun Records and the Memphis Recording Service, because this is where it all began,” Stuart said.

We’re referring to B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison. I mean, everything originated from this very room.

Sun Studio is accessible every day of the week between 10 AM and 5:15 PM.
