9 Days of Music, Memories & American Heritage
Get ready to tap your toes and relive the soundtrack of America on this unforgettable 9-day Motorcoach adventure! From Elvis Presley’s humble beginnings in Tupelo to the bright lights of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry and the Smoky Mountain charm of Dollywood, this journey brings you face-to-face with the legends, locations, and stories that shaped American music. Travel in comfort aboard your Lamers motorcoach as we explore iconic homes, recording studios, museums, and performance venues—each one offering a new chapter in the rich history of blues, soul, rock ’n’ roll, and country.
The rhythm begins in Memphis, where the energy of Beale Street greets us with blues on every corner and the fun, music-filled Memphis MOJO Tour introduces the city's legendary sound. The journey deepens with the Elvis Experience Tour at Graceland, a full immersion into the life of the King—his mansion, private jets, sparkling jumpsuits, car collection, and Meditation Garden. Add a guided visit to Sun Studio, and evenings filled with live music at B.B. King's and Lafayette’s Music Room, and Memphis becomes an unforgettable highlight.
Our musical pilgrimage continues with a meaningful stop in Tupelo, where we visit the humble two-room home where Elvis Presley was born. The quiet beauty of the grounds and heartfelt exhibits reveal the earliest chapters of the King’s story. We then follow the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway to Bon Aqua, where Johnny Cash found peace at his beloved Hideaway Farm. This tranquil stop offers a touching glimpse into the private world of the Man in Black before we roll into Nashville to explore the Country Music Hall of Fame, legendary RCA Studio B, the Johnny Cash Museum, and—of course—cap it all off with a magical night at the Grand Ole Opry.
We continue east to the mountains and beyond, enjoying Pigeon Forge’s warm hospitality, down-home dining, the lively Country Tonite Show, and a full, relaxing day at Dollywood to enjoy shows, crafts, and Smoky Mountain charm at your own pace. The musical storyline comes full circle in Bristol, home of the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, where the 1927 Bristol Sessions ignited a new era of American sound.
With comfortable hotels, included meals, gentle pacing, and thoughtful planning throughout, every day invites you to savor the music, the memories, and the joy of traveling together.
