Tracing their musical influences back to Tennessee.
It went down at
Located on Memphis’ historic Beale Street, the Blues literally grew up on New Daisy’s sidewalk. New Daisy was built in 1942 and served as a movie theatre until the 1980s when it was renovated into a concert venue. In 1997, Bob Dylan used New Daisy as a private rehearsal space during which he filmed two music videos for songs off his Grammy Award-Winning album, Time Out of Mind. New Daisy’s location, history, and intimate 1,000-person capacity have made it one of the preeminent live venues in the U.S.
