Shellhole (Rhumbelow Theatre PMB) will present Memphis55 by The Black Lapels for two performances on February 28.
The Black Lapels comprise Rob Warren (guitar/vocal), Garth Warren (bass/vocal),
Gareth Gale (drums) and Greg Bedford (lead guitar). Formally known as Zaffa they
presented the highly successful Johnny
Cash Show as seen at Hilton Arts Festival 2013.
Memphis55 is the new smash-hit tribute show inspired by the 1955 collaboration
between rock ’n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and
Carl Perkins! The quartet met in 1955 at the famed Sun Records under legendary
producer Sam Phillips. They went on to tour throughout the Americas and the
world and changed the course of music history inspiring a new generation of
musicians including The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones and many more!
Paul McCartney noted that “if there were no Carl Perkins there would have been
no Beatles”.
The show features a
score of rock hits including: BlueSuede
Shoes Thats Alright, Cry Cry Cry, Great Balls Of Fire, Walk The Line, Whole
Lotta Shakin Goin On, Who Do You Love?, Matchbox, Folsom Prison Blues, Hound
