Lots Of Music This Week

In addition to the Metal Museum Thursday night series, music lovers should have a great time this week at Live at the Garden and the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival.

The final Live at the Garden concert of the season brings Blondie and Cheap Trick to the Memphis Botanic Garden. Tickets are still available. Here's a quick sampling of a couple of the hits you might hear.





Wonder if Cheap Trick's lead guitarist is still packing that monster axe?

The Memphis Music and Heritage Festival returns on Saturday and Sunday on Main Street between Peabody and Gayoso. In the past, this has been a great event and its FREE. As you can list from the list of music, there is a ton of music to enjoy.
