🎙️
Tupelo is where the legend of Elvis Presley began, and in this episode, we’re diving into his early years before he hit the big time in Memphis. Born in a tiny two-room house in January 1935, Elvis was the second twin, with his brother Jesse sadly not surviving. We chat about how this small Mississippi town shaped Elvis’s identity and influenced his iconic sound, blending gospel, country, and blues. You won’t believe how a $7 guitar bought at the local hardware store set him on the path to rock and roll royalty! So, grab your favorite snack and join us as we explore the roots of The King in his hometown of Tupelo!
