Carl Perkins
Mar 9, 2017
The Legends of Tennessee Music Museum in Jackson, TN has added Carl Perkins memorabilia and is preserving the Hard Rock Cafe U.S. origin.
"This strip of highway between Nashville and Memphis would host the inception of Rock-a-Billy, while the Blues simultaneously flowed through the cotton fields,” said Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Dir. Lori Nunnery. "We are honored to see this new piece of Carl Perkins' story finding a home in Jackson. I'm also elated for Hard Rock Cafe co-founder and Jackson native Isaac Tigrett to reconnect with this community by spearheading the campaign to re-launch the musical milestone set with the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in Jackson."
