About The Show

At the legendary Sun Studio – it’s all about the music. With humble roots in the 1950’s -- when then unknown artists Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, (and many others) first crossed the doorway at Sun Studio to record their music. From there rock ‘n roll history was made. Now a historic U.S. landmark, hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the globe travel to Memphis, Tennessee to get a peek inside this iconic musical Mecca.

Fast forward to NOW, as Sun Studio is proud to announce it is bringing a new wave of performing artists to public television – from around the world. During the new weekly series SESSIONS, television viewers across the country will experience a private and intimate look into the recording sessions of new musicians, new artists, and new talent – as they share their personal stories and a passion for what else? The music.

SESSIONS will begin airing on public television stations around the country beginning January 2010 with a hand-picked roster of new artist recording sessions.

Each week, SESSIONS will showcase a new artist who will perform five to six original songs, mixed in with their personnel stories and inspiration behind the song, themselves and their music.

Working with our presenting station, WKNO Memphis, and one of public television’s distributors NETA, SESSIONS has been approved for weekly distribution to all public television affiliates around the country starting the week of October 5.

Sponsorship of SESSIONS offers companies 15 and 30 second spots that air before and after every episode and include value added off-air promotions across multiple media platforms.
