Live From Memphis

Live From Memphis is a volunteer organization supporting music, film, and art from Memphis, Tennessee. It was initially established in 2000 with a focus on capturing local music and showcasing it to the world. Reflective of such publications as "The Rise of the Creative Class" and "The Memphis Manifesto" (which focus on cultivating creativity as a critical resource to individual, community, and economic life) Live From Memphis seeks to serve and better its community through creating artist-based projects and providing resources and tools for its members.
