The world's best musicians—no matter what they play, no matter where they're from—owe a little something to Memphis, to Beale
Street. When they perform here, it's a musical homecoming, back to where it all began.
The Beale Street Music Festival brings it all together again this May with three days of music from superstars in every genre. Thousands
of people of every age, creed, race, and nationality gather to dance, shout, jump, and jam to some of the best live music in the world.
Blues, soul, rap, rock, country—they all come to the Beale Street Music Festival. Get here.
Big Mama Thornton’s mama did not name her Big Mama. Minnie Pearl was born Sarah Cannon. When Snoop Dogg went to court, he went as Calvin Broadus.
Doesn’t really have the same ring, now does it?
Wanna be a rock star? A country singer? A rapper? A blues legend? Better dump that ho-hum name of yours.
We can help. Use our Beale Street name creator to find your new identity. Click “Lemme Make my Own” to
choose a music style and pick your favorites from the drop-downs, or click “Just Gimme a Name” to get a

The best part: when you play, you’re entered to win four free tickets to the Beale Street Music Festival, dinner at a Memphis
landmark, a hotel room, and a limo to the show. If you want to roll like a VIP, play now!
