Graceland's Elvis Presley Mississippi Delta Blues Tour

Trace Elvis Presley’s musical roots, including the influences that inspired Elvis and other artists to begin mixing blues, country, gospel and R&B to create an entirely new sound – dubbed rock ‘n’ roll – which was brought to life in Memphis over 60 years ago.

The Graceland Excursions Mississippi Delta Blues Tour will take you on a musical journey during this 9-hour guided excursion from Graceland in Memphis to the Mississippi Delta. Learn the remarkable story of how the blues were born and the role Tunica and the Delta played in building the genre’s legacy with a stop at the Gateway to the Blues Museum. Then, explore the history and heritage of the unique American musical art form at the Delta Blues Museum, where one of the largest pieces of the collection is the actual cabin where legendary blues artist Muddy Waters once lived. You will have the opportunity to lunch on your own at Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Next, we'll take you on a stop to the GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi, dedicated to exploring the past, present and future of music, and the cultural context from which it emerges while casting a focused spotlight on the deep musical roots of Mississippi. Finally, conclude your tour with Southern Sounds at Dockery Farms . This historic site is where musicians invented the blues genre around the turn of the 20th century. It’s a mecca to blues enthusiasts and the home to Charley Patton, the "Father of the Blues."
