As Memphis Mayor Paul Young put it, “becoming a Certified Music City gives Memphis another way to share that story, support the artists, businesses and institutions keeping our music culture strong, and invite people from around the world to come experience the real thing right here in Memphis.”

What cities keep running into.

All genres

Music cities have a strong music scene and a role in shaping genres.
The scene isn’t one sound. Music Roadtrip’s map and music events feed doesn’t pick a lane.

The spend

Music is a key local industry economic driver, but one that is in need of strengthening.
Music visitors turn into local dollars when they can find the room, the store, the next show.

One brand

There is a need for an updated, refreshed, and unified approach to the music city brand(s).
Music Roadtrip includes all types of music destinations and events in a region, creating a one-stop shop for music travelers.

The living scene

There is a growing desire amongst stakeholders to see contemporary artists better connect with visitors to reflect the city’s current music scene.

More than shows

In addition to celebrating genre, the brand should also leverage the unique and significant aspects of the industry and those connected to it.
Studios, graves, record stores, murals. The visit has to outlast the set. That’s the map.
