I had not seen the Broadway show and although I knew the artists, I did not know the approach this Juke Box musical would take. Often plays about biographical events get bogged down in the chronology and history or become simply a list of popular songs used to rekindle memories. Would they forget the importance of this time period as it refers to our national identity: race, religion, fame, and the big business of having fun? After reading this work I was thrilled to see that that was not the case. Here is a story of four singers who on December 4, 1956 got together for a jam session and in so doing, started a movement that would change popular culture. Million Dollar Quartet does not just give us the biographies of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, but introduces us to them as young men from humble beginnings filled with hopes, aspirations and bigger than life dreams. Artists with stories to tell through their music and music they present in a way that demands we join in and celebrate the magic and fun of that night. It introduces us to a producer, Sam Phillips who out of a tiny converted auto garage in Memphis, Tennessee, built Sun Records. A man who, against the norms of that time, brought together voices black and white to produce a singular sound, a sound never before heard. That sound was Rock ‘n’ Roll and this is the story of that night. Enjoy! – KENT KNUTSON, director BEHIND THE SCENES... Million Dollar Quartet celebrates four unforgettable musicians and their producer. These men were pioneers of the rock & roll music style, a genre that still influences musical artists today. The instruments they played were a huge part of their sound and aura. For this production, we wanted to replicate this musical era as best we could. Tons of fun research was then done to insure we get it right! I wanted to share a little of that with you. Sun Studio artists mostly played guitars from the companies Gibson and Martin. Gibson is out of Nashville, Tennessee and Martin is out of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The Gibson Les Paul Goldtop that our Carl Perkins plays is a reissue of the exact guitar he played on his recording of “Blue Suede Shoes.” Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash played Dreadnought acoustic guitars from Martin. The guitar our Elvis strums is the exact model “The King” used in the early and mid-1950s. We found a beautiful black matte Dreadnought for our “Man in Black” to play. Local music stores, Groth Music and Minnetonka Music, were invaluable resources for this production and almost all the equipment you see on stage came from their stores. We hope this production transports you directly into their little recording studio in Memphis. Banging on the vintage piano, that’s actually form the 1950s, certainly takes me there. My colleagues and I at the Old Log are thrilled to recreate this prolific moment in music history for you. We’re also delighted that the show you’re seeing is authentic and specific. That part makes me smile every day. – ERIC MORRIS (Jerry Lee Lewis) 6 MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, the musical SCENE + CAST CAST IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Carl Perkins ......................................................................MATT TATONE Johnny Cash ......................................................................

TIME + PLACE December 4, 1956 at Sun Records, Memphis MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET WILL BE PERFORMED WITHOUT AN INTERMISSION. SYNOPSIS On a Tuesday night, shortly before Christmas 1956, four Legends — Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley — gathered at the Sun Records studio in Memphis, Tennessee, where they had launched their careers. Word soon leaked out of an impromptu jam session. A newspaper man who was there wrote, “This quartet could sell a million.” Soon, they were dubbed the Million Dollar Quartet. This was their only performance. Sun Records owner Sam Phillips discovered and produced the Million Dollar Quartet. That’s why he, together with Presley and Lewis, were among the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame’s charter inductees. Perkins and Cash soon joined them. Unlike other producers at the time, Phillips took an active role in recording, encouraging and coaxing his young, untested artists to reach deep within themselves. He began by recording blues singers like B.B. King and Ike Turner. Later on, he was the first to sign Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich. In his rudimentary, one-room studio, Phillips looked for innovation, not imitation.

  • Million Dollar Quartet” by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux at the Hippodrome Theatre Through December 2
    “Million Dollar Quartet” By Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux At the Hippodrome Theatre through December 2 By James Cooper MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS … PRODUCTION Flashing lights, shimmering jackets and long musical solos radiate through the production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” now at the Hippodrome Theatre. Though the special effects and costumes are beneficial in some instances, the show lacks emphasis in the one area it should stress the most: the music. The whole story focuses on the decisions of four major musicians from the 1950s: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Music is the main concept within the script, but it certainly isn’t the main concept within the performance. The show focuses on a single event: the night that all four musicians of the “Million Dollar Quartet” were present in the same space at the same time, the Sun Records Studio in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Elvis (Cody Slaughter) used to be a member of the Sun Records family but then he switched to RCA, a bigger label. Since this change, Elvis has lost contact with his former producer, Sam Phillips (Vince Nappo). As Elvis returns with his girlfriend Dyanne (Kelly Lamont) he makes it clear to Sam that he wishes he had stayed at Sun. Sam too wishes that Elvis had stayed, but his main focus is now on producing Johnny (David Elkins) and the up-and-coming Jerry Lee (Martin Kaye). All the while Carl (Robert Britton Lyons) has to decide whether or not he wants to leave Sun Records or move on to Columbia.

  • Local Exhibit Highlights Work of Self-Taught Southern Artist Felicia Feaster
    July 9, 2020 Local Exhibit Highlights Work of Self-Taught Southern Artist Felicia Feaster Enjoyment of self-taught art may depend on how much you want to swim around in another human being’s headspace. Are you in the mood to contemplate the conditions that foster both creativity, but also the darker byways of obsession and personal experience? With much art, it is possible to separate the maker from her work. You can glide across the pleasures of surface, technique and subject matter. But self-taught art gives you no such opportunity or out; part of the bargain is, in fact, a deep dive into biography. And in the Atlanta Contemporary show “The Life and Death of Charles Williams,” there’s no getting around the strange, fascinating and sometimes troubling reality of this Kentucky artist’s life. There is both joy and pain in Williams’ experience, and in his art. It’s hard not to revel in the unique point of view of this utterly idiosyncratic Black Southern artist while also feeling saddened by his circumstance and limitations. Like so many self-taught artists, Williams defiantly marched to his own arrhythmic beat. He spent a lifetime making art that acted out the kind of dramas of might and right that children cling to: art fueled by comic book tales of brawny, powerful, justice-minded superheroes with cut-glass jawlines, tree trunk thighs and hyper-articulated Tom of Finland musculature. In fact, Williams learned to draw, like so many kids, by rendering favorite heroes like Dick Tracy and Superman. But while kids eventually give up those superficial parables of good and evil, Williams clung to them.
