Fans say...

"Memphis Jones offers an experience to go along with the music. A window allowing you to look into the history of Blues & Rock & Roll. We considered this show kind of an interactive experience. Yes, they are good, but for all my musician buddies, the quality of this show is so high that when seen, you will get lost in the presentation and forget all the critiquing and enjoy yourself !!!"
