This 8" x 10" black and white glossy photo is made from an original concert promotional poster advertising B.B. KING & BILL HARVEY's performance together in Memphis, Tennessee in the 1950's. The photo is shipped to you in a white mat that fits a standard 11" x 14" frame. This is just one of thousands of images that the Center for Southern Folklore has in its archives. In 2007 the Center will celebrate 35 years of being in Memphis, Tennessee and in all of those years we certainly have collected a treasure chest of images and memorabilia. We are in the middle of an ongoing project to digitize our photographs and as we progress along we're offering some of the photos to the public. Please visit our eBay store today to see the other photographs now available and check back often as we'll be adding more in the coming months!
Founded in 1972, the Center for Southern Folklore is a non-profit cultural center located in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, just a block from historic Beale Street. For two decades the Center has showcased artists whose music has helped define the music of our region in what is our gift to the world: the yearly Memphis Music & Heritage Festival. From urban blues to rockabilly, from folk to gospel and soul to salsa, this festival is Memphis Music and its best! The event is held every Labor Day weekend on the Saturday and Sunday of that holiday weekend. It's family friendly and best of all - it's free to the public! In Memphis's daily paper, The Commercial Appeal, music critic, Bill Ellis writes, "Something special happens once a year. No, it's not Santa Claus bearing gifts, though for music fans it might as well be. It's the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival, the only weekend where you can boogie, strut, jitterbug, sway and, of course, do the funky chicken to your heart's content." The Kreature Comforts: Lowlife Guide to Memphis says: "If you are planning your visit to Memphis around a music weekend, this would be the one to choose. This is the real thing if you dig deep on Memphis sounds. Take our word for it, don't miss this festival!"
