Take Me To The River featuring Carla Thomas

Friday 11 July

Step into the heart of Memphis with Take Me to the River All-Stars Memphis Soul Revue – an electrifying celebration of one of the most influential sounds in American music history.

This unforgettable live experience gathers together some of the city’s most legendary musicians, whose timeless work has shaped generations and continues to captivate audiences around the world.

At the centre of the line-up is none other than the Queen of Memphis Soul herself, Carla Thomas.

Their unmistakable groove and feel laid the foundation for some of the most enduring soul recordings of all time.

Adding even more star power to the night are GRAMMY-winning producer Boo Mitchell – son of the great Willie Mitchell – and GRAMMY-winning bandleader and filmmaker Martin Shore. They’re joined by dynamic vocalist Jerome Chism, whose powerful delivery bridges the past and present with remarkable energy and soul.

Expect a show bursting with rhythm, history, and joy – a true Memphis soul revue that will transport you straight to Beale Street. With every beat and every note, this is a concert that will leave you dancing, smiling, and moved by the enduring power of Memphis music.
